• 2022-09-18 September 18, 2022 – Stories of Triumph & Realized Dreams (Part 2 of 2) Rev. Kristin Powell with Edna Castillo & Dimitry Doronkin Rev. Kristin presents the second week of "Stories of Triumph," featuring two powerful immigrant stories from Unity of Walnut Creek community members. Edna Castillo shares her journey from Guatemala - overcoming her father's chauvinism, bullying, and an unhappy marriage to become a certified life coach and author who now helps others heal. Dimitri Doronkin recounts his path from Uzbekistan, navigating the struggles of starting over and losing everything, only to discover that God was not distant but intimately present within him. Rev. Kristin celebrates how these stories reveal the spiritual ideals of inclusivity and equality, reminding us that diversity strengthens community.
