From James Goi, Jr.’s website:

As this book is being published, the world is in the grasp of the 2020 Covid-19 crisis. The author and teacher James Goi Jr. was inspired to write this book to help people to take a step back, to take a deep breath, and to not add to the negative mental, emotional, and spiritual energy currently surrounding the planet.

This book will help you to rise above the current climate of fear, turmoil, sadness, and uncertainty. It will help you view what is going on right now from a higher vantage point. Also, from the view of one who is mentally stable, emotionally mature, and spiritually grounded. So, if you’ve found yourself pulled into the drama of this worldwide crisis and feel like you need a break from it, here it is.

From The New Normal:

You need your spiritual and meta-physical in-sight now more than ever. Dig deep. If—as the mystics have been telling us all along and the quantum [world] have now validated—life and so-called reality are much different from what the average human being has thought them to be since human beings have been around and right up until today, how does this current emergency change that? It doesn’t.

Kirkpatrick speaks around the country as he trains worship leaders. As a musician, he is a songwriter and recording artist. He and his daughter, Emilie, form the group known as A Beautiful Liturgy.

About the Six Hats

Many church leadership books today seem to focus heavily on the language of the corporate world. Throw a creative worship leader into the mix and vertigo sets in for all involved. Why? Creative leaders simply think differently. The Six Hats shows you how to better explain your worship leadership to those in charge. For those whose role comprises leading worship leaders, the language shared in Kirkpatrick’s book aims to help you take your team to their next level.

Take On Faith – January 30, 2021

Marla Goldberg, an energy healer, intuitive, speaker, and author speaks as guest. She joins host, Rev. Xolani Kacela, for this episode of Take On Faith. Goldberg discusses how her 14 healing modalities helped her overcome a difficult upbringing and abusive marriage.

During the program, Goldberg discussed her book, My F*cking Long Journey To Loving Myself: A Guide to a Shorter Path. Listeners learned her book aims to help people heal faster. According to Goldberg, she wants people to learn from her experience. Therefore, reading her book will expedite their journey.

Book excerpt:

I am confident that the TTTs that have helped me change
my life will assist you in doing the same. Consistency is the
key in any practice. These techniques need to be used regularly,
depending on what your focus is on, to really be of
benefit for you and your life. Look at it like a workout program.
If you exercise once a week or once a month, you
won’t see the changes you desire, but if you work out five to
six days a week, you will begin to see your body transform.

As a public speaker, Goldberg also leads workshops. She described her upcoming on-line workshop, which begins this week.

For those interested in her podcast, she hosts Guided Spirit Conversations.

Marla Goldberg discussed Spiritual Response. This is another way that she helps people heal. Interestingly, Goldberg explained how energy healing relates to science.

She joined us via the internet from her home near Charlotte, NC.

Rev. Chuck Freeman

Take on Faith – January 9, 2021

Rev. Chuck Freeman, the Executive Director of the Texas Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry (TXUUJM), is the guest on this episode. An expert in social justice ministries, he spoke candidly with guest host Rev. Carolyn Wilkins. Together, they took an in-depth look at the ways that faith intersects with legislation and social justice concerns.

Together, they explored Rev. Freeman’s work with TXUUJM and the impact of this ministry on local communities. Also, Freeman delved into his efforts to combat racism. A veteran in this work, he shared strategies for dismantling White supremacy in local government throughout Texas and beyond. Importantly, Freeman discussed current issues, such as the recent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the forces that enabled that event. Freeman offered a primer on White supremacy and the societal forces that perpetuate it in American politics.

Rev. Freeman, an amicable person, spoke about the fruits of his interpersonal relationships. In particular, he illuminated the importance of building coalitions that cut across racial lines in the communities he serves. You’ll appreciate hearing how he models interfaith and anti racism in his work in Texas. For true insights, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Tune in for a lively and informative conversation.
