Restorative Living

With uncertainty pressing in on our future livelihood and draining the very energy we need to keep going, this is a moment to pause and rehydrate our spirits. Rev. Venida welcomes Dr. Jennifer Mullan of @decolonizingtherapy to Forefront for a courageous conversation on Restorative Living as part of the Sacred Pause sermon series. Dr. Jenn guides us in remembering that centering the collective is liberatory work — and that this shared commitment can help restore the mind, renew the body, and revive the spirit.

Teach Me How to Sabbath

Marvin Gaye crooned to the masses in 1971 asking a timeless question, "What's Going On?” Gaye’s love ballad, considered to be an anthem of sorts, calls attention to the social and political issues of his day. In this week’s sermon, Rev. Venida invites us to honor whatever questions are coming up during our day and then explores how we can experience an intentional sacred pause as a gateway to sabbath rest.
