Ep.9 The Social Divide
Episode 9 our hosts dive into the social divide. Where did it come from? How’d it get so wide and how does it get better? #socialdelimma #undividedattention #podcast ##christianpodcast #unity #progressivechristianty #interfaith
Awakening Your Inner Mystic
When I was a kid, I would go to the neighbor’s house, knock on the door and ask a friend, “Can you come out and play?” If the answer was ‘yes’ then we would launch off into a new adventure of wonder and delight. We lived in a neighborhood that was shaped like a horseshoe just up the street from Unity of Boulder and our neighborhood was filled with big overgrown trees, loving neighbors and lots of kids that…
Proof of the Power of Your Words
Many Masters, including Eckhart Tolle, declare that the world has been badly thought of and is sick. There is always a great deal of speculation about what causes sickness in an individual and in our world. The Masters have never stopped informing us that all the joyous good health and beauty, as well as all the sickness and conflict, in the world is caused by its inhabitants–“We The People”. The healing of our world is at hand for any…
An Encounter with Healing Insight – 9/27/20
The concern of one who has attained Mystical Peace is to serve the healing of those blinded by the world. Those spiritually blind esteem the world of physical forms as real, and fight among themselves to possess it. They are in the grip of ego-centered illusions which blind their vision of impartiality. To heal the blind or to guide them on the path to the mind-healing, life-healing Truth, one who’s vision is free of the illusions of the world, bust…
Answering The Call
Calls, of course, beg the question “Who, or what, is calling?” But in attempting to answer this question even an exhaustive list of every name for Soul or Destiny or God would be beside the point.. It simply doesn’t matter whether we call it God, the Patterning Intelligence, the Design Mind, the Unconscious, the Soul, or simply “Life’s longing for itself,” as Kahlil Gibran envisioned. Primarily this force announces the need for change, and the response for which it calls…
Fall Equinox Celebration service
This Native American influenced Ceremony promotes wellness by reflecting the indigenous conceptions of Great Spirit, Creator, Great Mystery and the Universe. The Ceremony will include prayer, chanting, drumming, sacred equinox songs, stories and the use of a variety of sacred object. We will come together to recapture in the hearts of all people and all our relations an appreciation for all life forms and the sacredness of all life. A coming together in harmony, forgiveness and love…A transitioning and moving…
Meditation with Jack Groverland
When people are facing a serious personal challenge they often say, “I need a miracle.” More often than not what they have in mind is some kind of Divine Intervention from God or Source who they believe is outside of them, out in the heavens somewhere. This is mostly because of the unenlightened people’s translation of the ancient Bible texts from the Hebrew to Greek and then to English. Thus, Christians pray to God and spend their lives wondering…
Satsung with Jack Groverland
All, being created in the image and likeness of the Creator of the Heavens and Earth, have the creative power. Unfortunately, however, we have been misinformed as to what that creative power is and how it works–misinformed even by all the “New Thought” and “Spiritual New Age” Teachers and Gurus. If we ever needed this power, we need it now! We need this Divine, God-given power now more than ever, if we hope to save American from falling into…
Ep.8 Big News!
In Episode 8 we drop some BIG NEWS! What does it mean for the podcast? And more to the point, what does it mean for Melissa?
Spiritual Encouragement
This talk is about maintaining balance while discovering insights into the gifts that are being birthed by all the turbulence that is happening in our world. While staying deeply engaged with this moment, we are reminded… “1. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that…
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.
Unity Reality
We have grown used to a false perception of life, which has been handed down from generation to generation. Do you continue to bemoan circumstances that you proclaim are unjust and threatening, while perceiving yourself the victim of them? Forget the coronavirus — forget the pending presidential election — they have only the power to cause you concern that you give them. It’s time to enter the enlightened awareness of Divine Oneness. From A Course In Miracles Workbook, Lesson 139: “We have a mission here.…
Ep.7 White Beard & White Blob
In Episode 7 we interview Melissa’s daughters, Sydney and Brooklyn, on what spirituality and faith looks like in thier lives. They lead us on a journey that ranges from “what is God?” to death and the afterlife. Of course Rev. Shad and Irrev. Melissa add their usual wisdom and comedic banter along the way.. #God #Jesus #Christ #Christianity #Children #podcast #christianPodcast #nondenominational #progressivechristian #progressivechristianity #unity #interfaith
Why Aren’t Political Solutions Enough?
Ministers Syntysche, Jack and Shad Groverland discuss audience questions about finding true Peace when political solutions aren’t enough.
Are You Content?
These are the words my husband asked me the other night out of nowhere. It’s amazing how a simple question can open the faucet and flood you with so many emotions. I didn’t answer, but the tears that filled my eyes said it all. Or did they? I know he wasn’t asking about our relationship because of the conversation we were having before this question. I sat with it. It was such an awe-inspiring question. I went back and forth with all…
Ep.6 Chop Wood, Carry Water
The Zen Buddhists saying, “Before enlightenment, chop wood carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood carry water,” speaks to the value of work, no matter what stage of life we are in. So why does our culture vilify work?Why do so many of us try to find ways to get out of work? Is work a necessary part of our spiritual growth or not? These are the questions and issues our dynamic duo tackle in this this episode.
Ep.5 Is Religion Dead?
Research shows that attendance is steeply falling off across all religions (except one). What does this mean for the future of #faith, #spirituality and #religion in our society? Rev. Shad and Irrev. Melissa take a serious, and not so serious, look into this topic with some deep insights and points of advice we can all learn from.
I Will Carry You
“I will carry you.” These are the words of a song I have had on repeat lately, by Michael W. Smith. I find all the melodic rhythms and words of his music to be inspired by the greater potential of the Universe, as a way-shower of God’s Love for all of us. During this time, I find spiritual music to be an incredible space holder for my being to stay lifted and peaceful during these difficult times in the world. Many…
