a moment with my baby girl eliza just now, reminded me of How deep GODS FIERCE LOVE is for us all. this moment of deep love and gratitude inspired this random tangent. I once learned an acronym from an old pastor… “TAWG” . TIME ALONE WITH GOD, and how VALUABLE IT IS. i also briefly hit on the idea and importance of finding that solitude , and using that quiet space for Prayer and LISTENING to the Scriptures. also, a quick breakdown of the famous “LORDS PRAYER”. in a busy, distracted, fast paced world … its still important to BE STILL and set your FOCUS on the GIVER OF LIFE AND, the GOD who is LOVE. “be led by still waters, lie down in green pastures…(psalm 23)… the FATHER has everything we need, whether that be peace and strength, hope and healing, comfort , we just need to learn to tap in more often. …. May we give him the time of day so we can receive whatever He has for us….

For this Mother's Day message, Pastor Brent shares a story from 2 Kings 4 about the prophet Elisha miraculously reviving a wealthy woman's son from death. Like the mother in this story, many of our mothers tend to have a fierce love and perseverance, and the invaluable impact of a Godly mother can't be understated. Moms, your role is crucial, so THANK YOU, don't give up, and stay anchored to God's purposes for you and your family.

Preaching for Holy Thursday, Dr. Cynthia Bailey Manns offers a reflection on living God's bold, fierce love for everyone: "In October, I will return to Rome to participate in the final assembly of this Synod. And although I will NOT be washing feet, I will follow the model of Jesus' bold, fierce love as he cared for those he encountered. He was a healing presence to those he taught, listened to, guided and accompanied. I will be a healing presence to those I encounter, listen to, and accompany. I will love others with more empathy and without distinction. And I will love God more fiercely. Beginning today, I invite YOU to multiply and deepen your Holy Thursday experiences as you embody Jesus' bold, fierce love in your sacred encounters with others and God."

oul Energy Alignment - LET GO of Fear, Drama & Karma - Guided Meditation Activation - Deep Healing. The main focus of this session is letting go of fear, drama, and karma that is not really a part of you anymore, but unconsciously you are still holding to it, and it is diverting you from your Sovereign Power, your Peace, and your Purpose here on Mother Earth. It's like collecting and holding on to material things, even if we don't need it anymore, and it doesn't serve any value to us, we hold on to it “just in case” it will come in handy one day, or because we are emotionally attached to it. It is time to LET GO and Rise Up to your next level. The karmic entanglements, unhealed shadow aspects, and limiting beliefs you are holding on to — cannot survive within you when you commit to continuously face “them” from a place of Peace, Detachment, and Fierce Love. They stand no chance, and they have no option but to transform because of your conscious commitment to expanding in Love and Consciousness. Listening to this meditation one time will help you. Listening to several days in a row will help even more. I warmly suggest that you invest 21 - 28 days straight doing this session. It is up to you of course. It depends on how dedicated and committed you are to your self-healing, awakening, and ascension journey. Choose to be aware, be resilient, and be vigilant. Align with the Zero Point,, and stand grounded like a mountain. We got this! Music is tuned to 432Hz and contains 4.5Hz Theta Binaural Beats * The Chant at 11:52 - 12:49 and at 30:52 - 32:01 is served by Huna Mauta Kumara Ta Ki aka Huna Flash.

I'm feeling the pain in your body. In mine. You can feel the charge of our collective wounds if you are a sensitive, intuitive being. Although, you may have numbed or blocked the feelings.

Mary Magdalene energy. Call on your guides. Compassion, is suffering with. Being with. But not Being IN the suffering. Not becoming ONE with the wound.

What does your body need? Just breathe into your heart and feel your desire for love and acceptance. Feel yourself expanding as you send yourself your own love.  Share with me: What part of you needs your radical compassion, & unconditional acceptance? Be the miracle you seek.

REWIND: In honor of Black history month, and this year's theme of resistance, we are revisiting past conversations with guests committed to the active and everyday work of resisting racism and the false ideology of white supremacy.    We sat down with Rev. Dr. Jacqueline J. Lewis, Senior Minister at Middle Collegiate Church, a 1,300-member multi-ethnic, welcoming, and inclusive congregation in New York City (and full disclosure, my home church, loves!) for a conversation which delved into: - The need for each of us to make anti-racism a daily practice.  - Rooting our minds and spirits in revolutionary love.  - The challenging joy of leading a diverse church that is radically inclusive and leaves no one out regardless of race, sexuality / gender identity or ability.  - Why one of the essential duties of church members is to push leaders towards anti-racist practices which go beyond the pews, and into our daily lives - the way we love, work, shop and come into community.  Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis is a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, and earned her Ph.D. in Religion and Society/Psychology and Religion at Drew University. Ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA), Dr. Lewis hosted “Just Faith,” an on-demand television program on MSNBC.com and is a frequent media commentator.

Drum roll, please… we are so excited to share this inspiring conversation with Michelle Cassandra Johnson and Tema Okun. From the very beginning of this podcast, we've named Michelle's work throughout and, of course, our longtime listeners will also recall our early interview with Michelle on episode 5 (linked below). Since that initial conversation, we've dreamt of having Michelle back on with her dear friend and colleague, Tema Okun. You might know Tema's name from the now-somewhat-famous-in-certain-circles resource, the Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture article (also linked below)—for many, a guiding document outlining the insidious ways white supremacy shows up in our cultural narratives, practices, and norms. Tema's work has been pivotal, for decades, and recently gained increased attention amidst the BLM uprising of 2020. As many white folks “go back to sleep” in the aftermath of that uprising, Tema's role as a decades-long facilitator of anti-racism work models something significant: what it looks like for white folks to show up over and over again, over long periods of time, and the practice of centering love, compassion, and humanity in our efforts to challenge and dismantle systemic and cultural racism.This conversation is an invitation to do just that—to stay in relationship, to understand our roles, and to work across lines of difference to create collective liberation.Tune in, ya'll.Tema and Michelle discuss…- Visions for the future of this work and reflections on its evolution- The importance of not leaving anyone behind- What it looks like for white folks to get out of the way- Challenging individualism and ego- The complexities of lineages, legacies, and accreditation in social justice praxis- Cross-difference relationship- Boundaries as a form of self and collective-care…and so much more…Connect with Michelle & Tema:Michelle's websiteMichelle's InstagramJoin Michelle on PatreonTema's websiteTema's InstagramTema's book, The Emperor Has No Clothes: Teaching About Race And Racism To People Who Don't Want To KnowResources Mentioned:ALL THE F*CK IN Episode 5: Remembering to Dream with Michelle C.

A month before Steph Curry won his fourth NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors, his mom Sonya released a memoir detailing her journey from growing up in poverty in rural Virginia to becoming a first generation college graduate to raising three immensely gifted children with her now ex-husband, Dell Curry. Sonya opens up to Ashley and Lisa about what it's been like being on her own for the first time in 40 years. She shares insight on why she wrote Fierce Love, what she learned about herself in the process, and why she chose not to include her divorce in the book. We know you'll be as inspired as we were by this strong mother as she reveals her keys to finding joy, connecting with faith and rediscovering your purpose. Sonya's book is called Fierce Love: A Memoir of Family, Faith, and Purpose.

What Matters Most podcast host Paul Samuel Dolman talks with Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis about her new book Fierce Love. The post Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis #1073 appeared first on Paul Samuel Dolman.

Hopefully this conversation with Reverend Dr. Jacqui Lewis will be as much of a gift to you as it was for me. We explored some deep questions like, What was the failure of the people of Israel around the time of Yeshua ben Yosef? Is our own generation also failing Jesus as Messiah? What does it mean to be a "drum major for peace"? What is the church's culpability in racism? What is ubiquitously God's call on our life - whether we're Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Bantu, Sikh, or any other faith? What does it mean to be a theologian in residence in one's own life? The REV. DR. JACQUI LEWIS is Senior Minister and Minister for Vision, Worship, and the Arts at Middle Collegiate Church, a church that was founded in 1628 and one of the oldest continuous Protestant congregations in North America; and she is Executive Director and Co-Founder of The Middle Project which, along with Middle Church, hosted fifteen annual conferences to train faith leaders to combat racism, poverty and bigotry by growing multiethnic congregations that work for justice. Rev. Dr. Lewis is a prolific author, her latest book teaches us how to love the hell out of the world. It's called Fierce Love: A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking Kindness That Can Heal the World. https://jacquijlewis.com/ https://www.middlechurch.org/ https://www.middleproject.org/ https://jacquijlewis.com/fierce-love/ https://twitter.com/RevJacquiLewis https://www.instagram.com/revjacquilewis/ https://twitter.com/coreysnathan

Welcome back as we continue our conversation around Healthy Romantic Relationships, I am thrilled to be speaking with Susan Scott author of “Fierce Love”, about the essential role of conversations. I was first exposed to Susan's work about a decade ago, when beginning my divorce coaching career and came upon her book Fierce Conversations which over the years has helped me help my clients communicate more effectively.      In Fierce Love, Susan asserts that “the conversation IS the relationship!”  What we talk about and how we talk about it determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail.    Susan is the best selling author of Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life /  One Conversation at a Time / Fierce Leadership: An Alternative to the Worst “Best” Practices of Business Today / and Fierce Love, Creating a Love That Lasts - One Conversation at a Time..   Susan is a popular and sought-after Fortune 100 speaker who has been challenging people to say the things that are hard to say for over two decades.   susanscott.io     Request a Free Jump Start Call at https://www.jbddivorcesupport.com/jumpstart   For more information on Journey Beyond Divorce visit:  www.jbddivorcesupport.com

On the third season of Love Period, Rev. Jacqui Lewis gathers a cadre of writers, parents, and activists looking for common threads of wisdom as they survive and thrive in these traumatic times. What wisdom and insight do their experiences have for each of us? And, as always, Rev. Jacqui is asking "What's fierce love got to do with it?"

In this episode, Kaitlin discusses her own journey of decolonization and connection to her Potawatomi heritage. She explains that decolonization is the breaking down of systems of colonization, both personally and systemically. Kaitlin challenges us to look at the ways that colonization has affected all of us—not just those who are oppressed—because we can't live in denial without our scabs becoming scars. She concludes by telling listeners that we have to be honest about the story of America and the trauma of colonization so that we can face it and heal together. After Kaitlin's talk, Jeff and Sarah reflect on the deeply personal nature of decolonization, how it reconnects us to our roots, and how it makes room for us all.

Does it ever feel like you're searching for something in life beyond what your everyday existence is bringing? Maybe you're a parent who is devoted to your family, but you wonder if there's something you're missing. Maybe you're in the second half of your life and wondering if there's more beyond the days of your youth. Perhaps you are just lonely, and wondering why you haven't been able to connect with others who share your outlook on life. We all want the assurance that we're doing it right—the peace that comes from knowing where you're going. Our guests this week share that there is an answer to finding that missing peace—and His name is Jesus. Sonya Curry raised three amazing children who became successful in sports and in life, but she still kept thinking something was missing, and found what she was looking for in a closer relationship to God. Sheila Walsh is a spiritual leader to many, yet she battled depression at the height of her success and realized that she needed God's love through other people to help her find herself again.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Michael Guillen Upcoming interview: Jon Gordon   Sonya Curry Stephen Curry Seth Curry Sydel Curry Type A personality @sacurry22 Fierce Love   Sheila Walsh Is God Still Awake? 700 Club with Pat Robertson  Life Today with James and Betty Robertson Psalms 88 NIV   Interview Quotes: “I wanted for nothing materialistically, I just wasn't fulfilled. And so I was searching for some of that fulfillment in the world.“ - Sonya Curry “I went from just being religious and going to church to really having a personal relationship with God. And it saved my family, it saved me, and got me more focused on living out the potential that God had placed in me to get to the purpose that He had for my life.” Sonya Curry “I was already raising my children and taking them to church because that's how I was raised. But then they started seeing the transformation in me. They started seeing me praying more. I wanted to train them in how to put God first. You can fit God into your schedule, is what I wanted them to see.” - Sonya Curry “I felt how God's hand was always in every decision that was made regarding them...we need to be intentional and purposeful because we are the gatekeepers to their souls.” - Sonya Curry “Doing my daily devotions and prayer time grounds me, it really helps me to set the standard for the day. It reminds me who I am, where I came from, and who I'm here for.” Sonya Curry “I have tried so many things and ways to find fulfillment within myself to then have that pour into my role as a mom. And some things worked, some things didn't, but the things that were built on the foundation of God never failed.” - Sonya Curry “God's antidote to shame is grace.” - Sheila Walsh “Rather than viewing the Word of God through what I just heard on the news, I reverse everything now so that whatever I watch at some point to catch the headlines, I view them to what I've just read and the Word of God.” - Sheila Walsh “Don't isolate yourself from God when you're hurting. Bring everything that's true about you to Him, just as Christ did.” - Sheila Walsh ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel: Audio Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PrbuwH Video Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PsmEkJ What's Good?
