Is It Really Worth It?

How often do we hear that we should be more mindful, more positive, do affirmations, pray, meditate and have a more dedicated spiritual practice?  If we are active in our Unity Community we probably hear it a lot, but what we might not be hearing is “Why?” Why bother with spiritual practice when there are so many other exciting things we could be doing!? This is a great question that Rev. Shad will address in this video.

The Great Motivator

If you want to get people to take action and move, you need something that will set them in motion. I know what that something is, and after this Sunday’s talk, I think we will all have a better understanding of what drives us to bring about the kind of change this world needs. – Rev. Shad
