August 2, 2020 – What If There Were Nothing To Defend?
Rev. Kristin Powell invites us to imagine a world where there is nothing to defend - and explores how dropping our personal defenses can create profound freedom, deeper relationships, and meaningful social change. Drawing on the spiritual roots of nonviolence through Gandhi's satyagraha and John Lewis's faith-grounded civil rights work, Rev. Kristin Powell shares a powerful story of 16 months of prayerful resolve that dismantled barriers in India. She encourages us to breathe, listen from the heart, and practice defenselessness in our own lives - replacing shields with faith and weapons with tools of compassion and connection.
