Temptation: This subject matter can easily become politicized and create conflicts.Please do not give into this temptation during our time together.
Reminder: our calls to ministry hinge on moving past such obstacles and answeringto the realm of heaven. Where is it? How can we tap into that?
What exists in this world began in the spiritual world. Can we, spiritual leaders, access answers to what we see in this world? What would that look like? Is it possible? How can we hold a vision for this?
Our planet is begging us to participate. Can we ignore the correspondences?
What if participating in something of this nature offers us healing in the process?
