“Be Impeccable With Your Words”
Rev. Crystal Muldrow
In Genesis, God spoke and the created world arose. As children of God, we create like God.

“Rising Out of the Ashes: The Rumble”
Rev. Crystal Muldrow
From Brené Brown: “Men and women who rise strong are willing and able to rumble with their stories. By rumble, I mean they get honest about the stories they’ve made up about their struggles and they are willing to revisit, challenge, and reality-check these narratives as they dig into topics such as boundaries, shame, blame, resentment, heartbreak, generosity, and forgiveness. Rumbling with these topics and moving from our first responses to a deeper understanding of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors gives birth to key learnings about who we are and how we engage with others. The rumble is where wholeheartedness is cultivated and change begins.”

“Rising Out of the Ashes: The Magical Place”
Rev. Crystal Muldrow
Whenever a higher spiritual idea enters our consciousness, we can expect the ego to resist, causing a feeling of separation from God. When we press forward in faith nonetheless, we allow the “magic” to happen – the transformation of our consciousness.
