🔄 Turning Points15:41, The call to ministry. At her first Asilomar in 1994, only 5 months in, people kept telling her she had a gift. Standing on the deck she realised: "Holy crap, I'm supposed to be a minister." 17:00, The 30-year question. At age 14 she read John 1:1 and felt it was "the key to everything." No minister could explain it, until she found the Science of Mind textbook three decades later.19:10, The break-in breakthrough. After a burglary she opened the textbook randomly and found the answer: "the Word" as the creative process in the individual.21:27, Proof of inner change. Driving home, something that would have made her furious happened, but the anger "just wasn't there." Not suppressed. Simply gone.✨ Memorable Moments07:28, Daily spiritual practice. Making the bed, reading, 10-min meditation, "Inner Fitness" intentions, evening journaling, thank-you cards & gratitude journal.24:20, Ballroom dancing analogy. You must learn the basic steps before freestyling, same with spiritual mind treatment. Without them, "you're just waving your arms and moving your feet." 28:17, Congregant's breakthrough. A woman discovered her family belief that "rich people were jerks" had unconsciously driven her to divorce her husband. "I didn't even know I knew that."32:49, Etymology of "demand." Ken Gordon asked "Have you made your demand of the universe?", the root word means "to take your hands off," perfectly describing the release step of prayer. 34:25, "There's a place in me that says yes." When asked how she knows a prayer has manifested: "I don't have words… but I know it's done when there's a place in me that just literally lets go.Prayers Radio.com 24/7, is a non-denominational spiritual radio station dedicated to providing continuous spiritual prayer for individuals of all faiths.
