2024-10-06 Part 1 of 8: "The Real Source Rev. Kristin Rev. Kristin launches the eight-part Abundance Project series by inviting listeners to look beyond material symbols of prosperity and reconnect with the real source of abundance - the divine intelligence that holds the pattern of all creation, including each of us. Drawing on Derek Rydall's work, the teachings of Jesus, and the Unity principles, Rev. Kristin reminds us that we are not lacking but simply forgetting who we truly are. She offers simple, powerful practices - shift to source and share - as the path to unlocking our natural abundance-creating capacity and living as generous channels of abundant life.
2024-10-13 Part 2 of 8: "Reversing Abundance Blind Spots Rev. Kristin In this powerful second installment of the Abundance Project series, Rev. Kristin explores the hidden blind spots that keep us from experiencing our true abundance - the unconscious beliefs that we are separate from our good, that wealth is purely material, and that money is somehow unspiritual. Through the parable of the prodigal son and practical one-minute mystic exercises, Rev. Kristin guides listeners back to the land of their soul, reminding us that real wealth is invisible, infinite, and already within us. She encourages us to be unapologetic about our divine birthright to have, give, and receive, recognizing that the creative power of the universe lives inside each of us.
2024-10-20 Part 3 of 8: "More Abundance Blind Spots & Truths Rev. Kristin In this third installment of the Abundance Project series, Rev. Kristin explores two powerful abundance blind spots - the belief that you must believe before you can receive, and the tendency to shrink and adapt to challenging circumstances. Rev. Kristin shares her own journey from fearing public speaking to embracing ministry, illustrating that action precedes confidence rather than the other way around. Using the metaphor of a pedal-assist electric bike, Rev. Kristin reminds us that spirit engages when we start pedaling - we must act and ask rather than wait on the sidelines. Rev. Kristin invites us to expand rather than contract when life brings challenges, opening our channel of abundance through spiritual expansion and courageous action.
2024-10-27 Part 4 of 8: "Seven Gifts that Give you Everything Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder explores the transformative power of giving as part of the Abundance Project series, drawing from Derek Rydell's teaching that whatever is missing in our lives is what we are not giving. She illuminates seven "abundance activators" - giving out, giving away, giving up, giving in, giving thanks, giving to yourself, and forgiving - showing how each practice opens the channel for spirit to flow more freely through us. Using personal stories and the beautiful metaphor of a dried fern returning to life with attention and care, Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder reminds us that our source of abundance is not external but the infinite invisible energy within.
2024-11-10 Part 6 of 8: "Many Channels, One Source Rev. Kristin Rev. Kristin explores the powerful concept of our co-creation covenant with Spirit, reminding us that we are each clear channels for divine good and that every person in our lives serves as a potential channel for our abundance. Drawing from the story of Jesus raising Lazarus, Rev. Kristin illustrates how we must first honor our human emotions - clearing grief, anger, and fear from our channels - before miracles can flow through us. She emphasizes that our perception of others directly determines how much good they can bring into our lives, inviting us to widen our perspectives and ask for help as we step fully into our sacred agreement to be embodied expressions of Spirit in the world.
