July 29, 2018 – Activating the Power of Will
Rev. Kristin Powell explores the spiritual power of will as both a deep willingness to surrender to the divine and the willpower to put feet to our prayers. Drawing from Kelly McGonigal's research on willpower, the story of Joseph Goldstein's vulnerable encounter with his Zen master, and her own personal journey of releasing unhealthy habits through meditation, Rev. Kristin Powell illuminates how God's will and our deepest heart's desire are one and the same. She invites us to move beyond self-judgment when we falter, instead dropping into stillness to ask "what serves?" - discovering that when the will is truly ready, the feet are light and action becomes a joy.
