Sometimes our egos take charge of our gifts. What to do when events don’t turn out as we planned.
The story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50 is one of the most entertaining and profound tales in all the Bible.
From a gifted but overconfident youth he develops into a hugely successful and deeply compassionate leader and teacher. Along the way he suffers reverses, including the hatred of his brothers, imprisonment, slavery, and false accusation.
Yet he uses his gifts of insight and imagination to succeed.
In this two part talk we’ll explore how we too can utilize our reverses to move forward and personally apply Joseph’s template for success and compassion in our own lives.
Bio - Rev. Paul John Roach
For more than a century, Unity has taught spiritual principles that run like a thread through many of the world’s religions. Founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore pulled from many world religions as they created this spiritual community.
Now Unity and World Religions connects the dots between Unity teachings and the tenets of world religions, elaborating on the five universal principles taught in Unity and exploring how these are expressed throughout other faith traditions.
This treasure trove of stories, ideas, and luminaries explores major world religions such as Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity, as well as smaller and lesser-known traditions, from Sufism and Zoroastrianism to Jainism and Sikhism—and even Dudeism, based on the movie The Big Lebowski. Roach builds on these explorations to consider the future of religion and how these traditions may continue to be relevant in the coming years.
