Discover how turning your attention toward the good and awakening to God as your Source can move you from focusing on what’s missing to recognizing the possibilities already present. How do we actually make that shift and step into our power, especially when life is challenging?

Do you ever find yourself worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet—your mind racing ahead to everything that could go wrong?

What if you could pause in those moments and tap into something within you that is stronger than the fear?

What if becoming more fully yourself isn’t about fixing or improving anything, but remembering who you truly are?

In this episode, Rev. Ellen Barron and Rev. Teresa Curry explore self-awareness as a path to spiritual awakening—learning to recognize the fears, old patterns, and conditioning that can disconnect us from our authentic, divine nature. Through compassion, self-realization, and a deeper awareness of what’s happening within us, we discover how to move from reacting to life to responding from the wisdom we already hold within.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about letting go of who you think you should be and coming home to who you already are.

How easy is it, when someone we care about is in distress, to become absorbed in the problem and start praying for precisely what we believe they need? Yet if prayer isn't really about our needs—since, as Jesus taught, God already knows what we need—then what does it mean to pray genuinely for another person?

To find out, join Rev. Ellen Barron and Rev. Maggie Alderman as they explore how we can move our focus from the difficulty to the Divine Idea of wholeness, abundance, peace, wisdom, and harmony, thereby helping both ourselves and the person we are praying for attain a greater awareness of God's Presence and what is possible. What if praying for someone isn't about asking God to alter their circumstances, but about holding them in the highest truth of who they are?

When life feels uncertain or overwhelming, where do you turn?

Discover how affirmative prayer can shift your perspective, open you to new possibilities, and help you meet life’s challenges with greater faith, peace, and trust.
