Five Alarm Passion - Rev. Dr Bob Deen

What gets you up in the morning? What do you need to do regardless of what other people think or do? What would you do, whether anyone is looking or paying you? When you have found that, you have found part of your passion.

The Giving Tree - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Do you know what your gifts are? Do you know where and how to give them? Is there anything holding you back from sharing them? There is something within each of us that wants to make a difference in the world. It is more than fame or fortune; it is a genuine desire to do good in the world for our fellow creatures, human and others. When you find what that is within you, you have found part of your purpose.

Reimagine Your Calling - Rev Bob Deen

Everyone is called to something. The call may be perceived as a spiritual call or a persistent yearning toward some outcome, career, or life direction. It is real and it holds a key to our greatest happiness; the Joy of freely giving our unique gifts to others. At every stage in life, imagining your calling and establishing your purpose based on it, brings deeper meaning and joy. Explore and reimagine your calling and purpose.

Prayer Works - Rev Angela Hill-Harmon

"When we have the end held firmly in consciousness, the means to bring it about has already been set in motion," a quote by Thomas Troward. "I affirm this daily and live it out!" The phrase was a part of a revelation to what prayer is meant to be: life affirming.

As a child, I was taught praying was pleading, begging, and bargaining for an external Entity to grant life's desires. From time to time, I'd actually receive what I'd asked, so I knew prayer worked, but why didn't prayer work all the time? Even then I sought "a greater idea." 

As a truth seeker, I inevitably came across the SOM in my thirst for knowledge. I came to recognize each has a partnership with the Divine! God and I are one! Not some figure out there to pray to; IT is what we pray with! Life does not have to be random acts but created by design. WE then cultivate and demonstrate from our highest qualities. If we don't like what's happening, we can change it. Prayer works! 

Life becomes as we affirm through faithful utilization of Natural Laws and Universal Principles which exist to handle the "how." As we infinitely demonstrate life as we believe, "as a (wo)man thinketh, so is (s)he." And so it is.  

Summertime and the Livin’ Is Easy - Rev David Barrett

Rev. David Barrett talks about his own personal growth of moving from a Life of the Law of Averages, moving up to the Law of Cause and Effect, moving into the Law of Grace, and still moving into the Law of Livin’ Easy.

Rev. David is the beloved founding Senior Minister of the Center for Spiritual Living Midtown. His talks flow from the heart and always engage us with clear spiritual principles that bring greater joy, freedom and understanding to our lives. 

Optimize Your Power to Say Yes! - Rev Dr Bob Deen

How Free Do You Want to Be? - Rev Dr Bob Deen

With July 4th just around the corner, our thoughts turn to freedom. What does it mean? How much can we have? Is freedom a verb or a noun? How do I know if I have it? Come celebrate our freedom and find out.

Don’t Call Me Norm!!! - Rev Dr. Bob Deen

The most ordinary activity can become extraordinary if you choose it. The most extraordinary possibilities can become ordinary and everyday, if you choose that as well.  Today, we are celebrating and expanding what may have seemed to be the everydayness of living by joyfully standing outside the box, and finding the free expression of your real desires for living.  If you are dedicated to the status quo, the ordinary, and the average, stay Home. You will not like this. If you are looking for ideas for living an extraordinary everyday life and are willing to embrace change, you will find what you are looking for here.

Merry-Go-Round - Rev. Ursula Lentine

Remember playing on that thing in the playground? Spinning faster and faster until you were dizzy. How are we doing that in our life? Which merry-go-rounds are working for us and which are not? We create our reality, but what are we creating for ourselves? Let’s meet and ponder these Ways on the Spiritual Path.
