Stay ConnectedA weekly sermon podcast from All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a Unitarian Universalist community rooted in Love Beyond Belief.
These messages explore progressive spirituality, social justice, compassion, and personal growth—offering thoughtful perspectives on life, meaning, and what it means to be human.
All Souls is an affirming, inclusive community where people of all beliefs—and no belief—come together to learn, grow, and make a difference.
The sermon was delivered on Sunday, May 5, 2019, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. DESCRIPTION Static fact or linear truth can easily become stagnant truth and as the old axiom says, familiarity breeds contempt. Pure truth is informative, transformative, entertaining, engaging, and creative. This non-linear truth is flexible and fluid as our own understanding and spiritual growth evolves. Otherwise, truth would only be lifeless facts and stats that don't invigorate the human spirit. This month at All Souls, we'll be discussing and discovering aspects of truth that relate to the development and expansion of our humanity, community, and individuality.

The message was delivered on Sunday, May 5, 2019, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister, at the Humanist Service. DESCRIPTION In this time of "alternative facts," "truthiness," and "truth is not truth," our theme of truth in May could not be more relevant. Something does not necessarily have to be factual in order to be true. The best novels are filled with truths that are elucidated through fiction. How can we determine the truth? Is there any truth anymore? *Music performed by Booker Gillespie and Rick Fortner SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIO PODCAST: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-souls-unitarian-church/id193096943 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=allsoulsunitarian GIVE A DONATION TO HELP US SPREAD THIS LOVE BEYOND BELIEF: http://www.allsoulschurch.org/GIVE or text LOVEBB to 73256 LET'S CONNECT: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/allsoulstulsa Twitter: https://twitter.com/AllSoulsTulsa All Souls Church Website: http://www.allsoulschurch.org

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, April 28, 2019, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Executive Director of Ministry. DESCRIPTION What does it mean that within weeks of each other, three churches in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France were burning? Is it the end of organized religion? The end of French connection? Is it a sign that the old ways no longer serve us? Maybe a test of faith? Or, is "God using these moments to bring us closer together as a world" as Pastor Harry Richard of Greater Union Baptist Church said as he watched Notre Dame go up in flames. On Sunday, join me to reflect on these fires and what they have meant to me.

The was delivered on Sunday, April 7, 2019, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. DESCRIPTION The root word in the word salvation is salve. Salve is something that is soothing or consoling for physical pain and soreness, including wounded feelings or an uneasy conscience. Impacting millions, it's important to note, some religion is built on the idea or ideology of being saved from God by God. For me, this is probably more of a mythological fairytale. Salvation, to me, is more spiritual and practical as the above description portrays it than traditional doctrines and dogma. Do we really need Jesus to protect us from God? This month, we will think and re-think salvation as the soothing salve our souls and selves need in this stress-filled human journey helping us to bridge our humanity to our innate and inner divinity.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, April 7, 2019, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION Man's inhumanities to man and human triumph over adversity are all on vivid and unforgettable display in Gilcrease Museum's current exhibition, Pulitzer Prize Photographs, from the Newseum in Washington D.C. (https://gilcrease.org/exhibitions/pulitzer/). If those photographs do not cause a person to ask big questions about life and death then perhaps nothing will. Join me to seek out and to make sense of this world without the burden of orthodoxies and superstitions or outworn beliefs. With the stories from these award winning photographs, I will look at our existence with all its fierceness and triumph.
