2026-10-04 The Gateway of Commitment Rev. Kristin Rev. Kristin opens a transformative seven-week journey inspired by Lynn Twist's book Living a Committed Life, inviting the community to discover freedom and fulfillment in a purpose larger than themselves. Through the stories of Buckminster Fuller, Greta Thunberg, Gandhi, Jane Goodall, and Moses at the burning bush, Rev. Kristin reveals how commitment is not a burden but a liberation that transforms, focuses, and connects us. She reminds us that we need not know how our path will unfold, for once we say yes, providence moves and all manner of support arrives. Rev. Kristin encourages each of us to make or renew a heartfelt commitment, speak it aloud, and take one simple action step, trusting that Spirit stands ready to ignite our life of purpose and possibility.
2026-10-11 “What We Stand For” Rev. Kristin In this inspiring message, Rev. Kristin invites us to discover what we stand for, drawing on the wisdom of Lynn Twist's book Living a Committed Life. Rather than adding more to our busy agendas, Rev. Kristin encourages us to focus our energy on a vision of wholeness that truly lights us up, taking a stand and letting committed action flow from there. Through the heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story of Ethiopian and New York women who came together across difference, she illustrates how the two sides of hunger - physical need and the longing to contribute - can meet to transform lives. Rev. Kristin reminds us that we need not know the how; by taking one step at a time and trusting Spirit, we can move the earth together.
2026-10-18 Old Story, New Possibilities Rev. Kristin In this uplifting message, Rev. Kristin invites us to examine the stories we tell about our lives and to consider when it may be time for a loving rewrite. Drawing on Unity co-founder Myrtle Fillmore's healing journey, the wisdom of Bruce Lipton and Lynn Twist, and her own experience of heartbreak and renewal, Rev. Kristin explores the powerful shift from believing life happened "to me" to recognizing that it happened "for me." She reminds us that transformation completes the past, makes sense of the present, and generates new possibility, calling us back to our source and the truth of who we are. With gentle encouragement, Rev. Kristin guides us to open our hearts and step into new possibility.
2026-10-25 Breakdown to Breakthrough Rev. Kristin In this fourth installment of the Life of Purpose and Possibility series, Rev. Kristin explores the sacred passage from breakdown to breakthrough, reminding us that life's darkest moments often hold the seeds of our greatest transformation. Drawing on the powerful journeys of Lynn Twist, Brene Brown, Van Jones, and Nelson Mandela, Rev. Kristin illustrates how times of loss, struggle, and the dark night of the soul are part of a divine pattern of death and rebirth. She offers practical, spiritually grounded tools for navigating these difficult seasons, encouraging us to breathe, feel our feelings, make room for hope, and trust the divine mystery unfolding within us. This is an invitation to embrace struggle with faith, knowing that every breakdown can lead us back to the truth of who we are.
2026-11-01 From Scarcity to Sufficiency Rev. Kristin Rev. Kristin invites us on a transformative journey from scarcity to sufficiency in part five of the fall series, drawing on Lynn Twist's Living a Committed Life. Exploring three toxic scarcity myths - there's not enough, more is better, and that's just the way it is - Rev. Kristin reveals how these inherited beliefs keep us trapped in fear and separation. Through the biblical story of manna from heaven, the wisdom of Charles Fillmore, and the inquiry practice of Byron Katie, she offers a healing antidote rooted in sufficient abundance. This message gently reminds us that we have enough, the world has enough, and we ourselves are enough, calling us to circulate our blessings and embody a consciousness of true enoughness.
