In this opening teaching for Haven’s new series, “Collective Care in Uncaring Times,” Leah explores how communities of compassion can resist the hostility, isolation, and exhaustion of the modern world. Leah reflects on the early church as a radically interconnected body where every person’s gift mattered and collective care became a form of spiritual resistance. Through stories of organizing, mutual aid, and embodied solidarity, this teaching invites us to imagine a more human way of living together. In a culture shaped by cruelty and division, Leah calls us back to the transformative power of attention, hospitality, and shared belonging.
