Inspired by Jack Kornfield’s "All in This Together," this message explores how we can look beyond others’ personalities, flaws, and differences to recognize the divine within everyone. Through mindfulness, compassion, and intentional practice, we can break down barriers, strengthen connections, and cultivate greater understanding. We are reminded that spiritual growth begins when we see the sacred in others, especially those who challenge us, and recognize that we are all connected.

Join us for the final week of **“The Upward Fall: Growing Into Your True Self,”** inspired by Richard Rohr’s teachings. We’ll explore how spiritual maturity means letting go of perfectionism and embracing our whole selves, including our flaws, wounds, and scars. By releasing the need to prove our worth, we discover the freedom to live authentically, extend compassion, and trust that we are loved not because we are perfect, but because we are whole.~ Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net ~ Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setup~ Ask Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336X~ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F ~ Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packages~ Listen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

In The Messy Middle, Richard Rohr explores the “tragic ridge,” the uncertain space between who we were and who we are becoming. Although this wilderness can feel uncomfortable, it is essential for spiritual growth. We are encouraged to resist the urge to rush toward answers, let go of black-and-white thinking, and trust in divine grace. By releasing our ego, control, and need for certainty, we create space for greater humility, compassion, and authentic love. The messy middle is not a detour from transformation; it is where transformation happens.

Richard Rohr’s "Falling Upward" teaches that spiritual growth often comes through the failures, losses, and challenges we cannot control. These “necessary falls” can open us to grace, humility, and a deeper understanding of our True Self. Instead of seeing setbacks as failures, we can see them as opportunities for transformation and ask, “What is this experience awakening in me?” Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setup Ask Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336X Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packages Listen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

This lesson explores Richard Rohr’s idea that the first half of life is about “building the container”—developing our identity, relationships, career, values, and boundaries. These structures are necessary, but they are not the whole purpose of life. Life’s challenges, losses, and failures can crack the container and invite us to discover a deeper sense of self and spirituality. As we mature, we learn to “transcend and include” what we have built, moving beyond rigid thinking toward greater wisdom, compassion, and authenticity. The key message is that the first half builds the vessel; the second half discovers what it is meant to contain.

Unapologetic Manifestation #6: Be Open, The Art of Letting Go explores the importance of releasing control over how and when our intentions manifest. By letting go of rigid expectations, trusting Divine Timing, and remaining open to unexpected possibilities, we create space for grace, growth, and outcomes beyond what we originally imagined. The lesson encourages us to release the belief that things must happen according to our plans and embrace our role as co-creators with the Universe.

This lesson explores how community and collaboration can support conscious manifestation. Prosperity and personal growth don’t have to happen alone. By sharing our intentions with trusted people, allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and celebrating one another’s possibilities, we create greater support and connection. Instead of hiding our dreams out of fear of failure or judgment, we are encouraged to step into the “unapologetic truth” that shared vision can strengthen our ability to create and grow.

In this session of "Unapologetic Manifestation: 'Take Concrete Steps,'" we transition from magical thinking to conscious, grounded creation through aligned action. True manifestation is a partnership with the Divine—while faith provides direction, human action provides the momentum because Spirit cannot steer a parked car. Rather than passively waiting for a sign, participants are challenged to take one bold, inspired step toward their dreams this week, trusting that guided action aligns us with the Universe's co-creative power.

This week’s message, “Shift Your Consciousness,” focuses on moving from a mindset of lack to one of sufficiency and abundance. Rather than waiting for circumstances to change before feeling happy, loved, or peaceful, we are encouraged to shift our inner state and embody those feelings now. Through the practice of “acting as if,” we can begin aligning our thoughts, feelings, and actions with the life we want to create.

This talk focuses on moving beyond wishful thinking into conscious, grounded manifestation through clarity and intention. It teaches that vague requests often lead to vague results and that instead of focusing on what we don’t want, we need to clearly define the good we wish to experience. Focus directs our spiritual energy, and simply thinking positive thoughts is not enough—specificity and intentional action matter. Participants are encouraged to identify their “Big Ask,” put it into one clear sentence, and keep refining it until they can confidently name what they truly want to create in their lives.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Move from wishful thinking to conscious creation by focusing your mind on what you truly desire. This message explores clarity, intention, and the truth that abundance is our birthright. When we clearly name what we want, we create space for Divine Order to move through our lives. “My mind is a clear channel for Divine Order. I know what I want, and I am brave enough to name it.”Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

"Healing the Divide," explores love, connection, and belonging as expressions of our shared divine nature. We’re invited to recognize the Divine in one another, take responsibility for the energy we bring, choose love over indifference, and listen deeply. Healing division begins within us by releasing the need to be right, practicing grace, and creating space for authentic connection.

"The Path to Soulful Living: A Life Not Wasted" explores the idea that each of us has a unique purpose and calling. Our purpose is the deeper “why” behind our lives, while our calling is how we express it through our gifts and talents. By quieting the noise, listening to our souls, following what brings us alive, and using our gifts in service to others, we move toward a more meaningful and authentic life. Ultimately, fulfillment comes from discovering our purpose, answering our calling, and living it each day.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

In "The Wound Where the Light Enters: Staying Awake in the Dark Night," Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell teaches that life's challenges can "break us open" rather than break us apart, revealing opportunities for healing and spiritual growth. By facing our pain with curiosity instead of resistance, we uncover limiting beliefs, transform our wounds into wisdom, and allow our Christ nature to emerge. The sermon reminds us that nothing is wasted—every experience can become a pathway to greater purpose, compassion, and service.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G
