Leddy Hammock Highlights: Based on lyrics from "I Made Room for Grace" on Sue Riley's CD: "I Am Love": When I stop resisting, I get what I needed – and so much more. Rather than insisting on my own way, I open my arms in surrender. Since I made room for grace, I just stepped aside and opened up a space. Now the blessings arrive every day, since I m…

Without hope, how can we authentically evangelize love? Hope, however fragile, can sustain us. It anchors our conviction and guides our commitment to serve with faith, compassion, and resilience. This podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Ollie Stocker and is followed by a sermon by Hallman Ministerial Intern Amy Brunell.…

The 1st Sunday in Advent we traditionally light a candle for hope or faith: the only advent virtue for which 2 different terms are used. Why? What is hope? Is it the same thing as faith? How are they different, and how do we hold them in a helpful, healthy way? To hope for specific changes in circumstances over which we have no control can be a hop…

Leddy Hammock Highlights: From lyrics to "May the Light of Love" by David Roth: May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit. May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way. May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it. May the light of love be with you every day.

It's time to look around. Look around at where we are now, at what (who) we've become, at where we're headed. It's time to slow it down.…

Does life have ultimate meaning? Do we discover meaning or invent it? Is there really a “reason for everything”? Or is it our life’s work to make meaning of the often chaotic circumstances of our lives? Why do we need meaning? Does it matter?Von Unity of Farmers Branch

In his book “Peace is Every Step” Buddhist monk Thich Nat Han says, "There is no way to happiness—happiness is the way." Does this make sense to you? Is being happy a worthy goal?

Jesus took his followers into the darkest of places in their world and asked them to declare for Him. Why?Von Kevin Greenlee

Von Ben Tombs

When we don’t feel good inside, often our first instinct is to try to change what’s happening on the outside. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. We can never solve the problems we feel within ourselves by manipulating external effects. When we try to, it makes us upside down. Things get worse instead of better as we repeat the same old patterns that d…

Yoking is not a solo endeavor. To be yoked is to be joined in a team, each pulling together in a common effort. Community organizing teaches us the power of organized people, each giving up some level of autonomy in order to effect change together. How do we navigate our Unitarian Universalist tradition's emphasis on individual conscience with the …

My beloved spiritual mentor Rev Chris Chenowith used to say, “to worry is to pray for what you DON’T want.” Carl Jung said "What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size." We are at cross purposes when we dwell on the pain—on what is going “wrong” in our lives. Yet, when we’re in pain it seems to demand our focus. Can we make a space whe…
