October 19, 2025 – "Radical Amazement

In this transformative message, Rev. Kristin explores the profound spiritual practice of surrender as a pathway to radical amazement, drawing inspiration from Mirabai Starr's "Ordinary Mysticism." She illustrates how true surrender involves both releasing what no longer serves us and opening to the divine mystery that surrounds our everyday experiences, using touching examples from "Tuesdays with Morrie" and personal encounters with the sacred in ordinary moments. Rev. Kristin invites us to embrace our identity as "ordinary mystics," recognizing that when we peel back the layers of resistance and self-consciousness, we discover that our seemingly mundane lives are actually filled with magic, miracles, and divine presence. Through surrender, we can step into our magnificence and walk through life like the Roman goddess Flora, with flowers blooming beneath our feet.
