Our thoughts shape our world, and our automatic thoughts and responses may be limiting. How do we become more conscious of our automatic thoughts, so that we can be and bring love to everything we do? How can we change our response to effectively heal the world by healing ourselves?

Rev. Michael Auch kicked off our June Higher Deeper Love theme on Sunday with All the Love We Cannot See, reminding us of a fish named Fred—intro'd to us by Rev. Larry—a fish on a lifelong quest to find water. Fred had no idea he was immersed in, swimming through, and sustained by water. That’s what love is. When we talk about love in Science of Mind, we aren’t talking about romantic love, or as Rev. Michael described, loving a person, a thing, or idea. Love is the energy tha

Some of us likely grew up in an environment where questions weren’t welcome. Whether that was school, family, or church, we learned that toeing the line, not asking questions, and not talking back were the correct behavior. We were expected to believe what we were told (how many heard our parents say, “because I said so!”?). For some of us, that didn't sit well. If we’ve learned nothing this month, talking about doubt, it’s that doubt isn’t the opposite of faith. It’s an impe

Doubt isn't divine; doubt is human-generated. Doubt starts with comparison, looking outward. We create our own constriction to our flow of good, and we don't have to. Spirit always says yes; it's our source, substance, and supply, and always available if we're open to it. Listen for guidance; if you're on the threshold, the only right answer is yes.

I just came back from ten days away with no computer (and I limited my phone use). Re-entry is always an adjustment, and I know it's been a good reset when everything I do requires me to stop and think before doing. That could be why my weekly mindset reset (Sunday service) mattered even more this week, because Rev. Jim Boone's talk was exactly what I needed to hear on my return (caught the YouTube replay). Continuing with our May theme, Divine Doubt, Rev. Jim, one of our awe

What to do when doubt shows up, especially self-doubt, and how to transform it.

Cindy Clay talked about healing, revealing, and the power of vulnerability and sharing our stories to become who we're meant to be. It's how we surrender shame and blame and become our true, authentic selves. It's important to only share with those who deserve to hear them.

Want to change the world? Be a beetle. Say what? Rev. Larry took us on a journey through the jungle where bioluminescent beetles light the way. What does that mean for us? You don't have to be special to light the way for others; do what lights you up.

What if imagination is one of the most powerful tools we have? In the context of SOM philosophy, it's what gives us power.

What makes up the best day of your life - today? With daily spiritual practice, your life can be close to perfect.

Going back to the bedrock teachings of Science of Mind, we revisit how spirit works through us, as us, in How It Works.

While the calendar year may turn over and is cause for celebration, practically speaking, the new year is just a continuation of what came before. And yet, after all the festivity and celebration that December holds, January ushers in a welcome quiet.

As we close out the year, we also close our December theme of Celebration. And, what a month it’s been! From Jingle Jam to Solstice and Christmas Eve services, it's been a magical season. And, when it's hard to find the light, amidst the festivity and celebration, we have tools to help us do so.

As we approach the Winter Solstice, we enter the darkest season of the year, at least by the calendar here in the northern hemisphere. And yet, everywhere we look, there's light. It's a curious and meaningful contradiction: when the days are at their darkest, we're called to make our own light.

Remember to find joy, even when just in moments. Joy helps us sustain and regenerate gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t just a nice idea. It’s a choice that shapes how we experience life.

On Sunday, Rev. Michael Auch invited us to look at gratitude as a spiritual power, something that can change us, along with the world around us. Sure, saying ‘thank you’ is one way to express gratitude (and sometimes, a simple thank you is enough). But the practice of gratitude is so much more. Science shows that feeling grateful changes us neurologically. It strengthens our well-being, nourishes our relationships, and can even open our minds to new possibilities. Gratitude

Rev. Dr. Larry King’s Sunday message, Grateful or Expectant , reminded us that being grateful for ALL our experiences can help improve our everyday lives. In Science of Mind, the fourth step of our five-step affirmative prayer is gratitude: we express thanks for our inherent good, the good that surrounds us, and, the good we expect. That last part, the good we expect, was the focus of Larry’s talk – future-focused gratitude. I’ve learned that Spirit doesn't know something h

Our Sunday talks are hitting all the right notes for me, especially lately, and this last Sunday’s message was a welcome reminder about the power of gratitude. Rev. Liz Mirante, in an animated talk about being Grateful in All Things, shared many examples of how gratitude is spiritual law in motion, specifically: attention and attraction. Randomness notwithstanding, what we focus on, we draw to us, and that feeling of gratitude must come from within. It’s not happiness that c
