March 31, 2024 – The Emerging Brilliance of Now: Viewing the Easter Story Through the Mystical Lens
TJ Woodward
Rev. TJ Woodward offers a deeply personal and refreshing exploration of the Easter story through a mystical lens, inviting listeners to see it not as a distant religious narrative but as a profound remembrance of our true nature. Drawing from his own journey of growing up in Indiana and spending years trying to change his thinking, Rev. TJ Woodward shares how the resurrection is really about uncovering the wholeness we were born with - not achieving something new. He encourages us to move beyond core false beliefs, spend time in the "tomb" of stillness, and remember that we each came into this world as a spark of divinity that has never left us.

June 4, 2023 – Exploring Pride
Rev. TJ Woodward
TJ Woodward delivers a deeply personal and thought-provoking message exploring the intersection of pride, consciousness, and spiritual awakening. Drawing from his experience as a gay man growing up in 1960s Indiana, TJ Woodward shares how childhood programming and unconscious beliefs can shape our reality - and how true freedom comes from healing those deep-seated wounds rather than fighting external battles. He outlines four levels of consciousness - martyr, magical thinking, metaphysical, and mystical - inviting listeners to move beyond division and into a lived experience of oneness where we celebrate our differences while recognizing our shared divine nature. TJ Woodward reminds us that the greatest freedom we can experience is freedom from the reactive impulse, calling each of us to simply be love and light in the world.
