Ahiah needs your Pledge! In every story with a wand, the wand itself has no power. It's just a stick until a word is spoken with focus, intention, and belief. This Sunday we explore Your Word Is Your Wand. In this final week of our dialogue on Eric Butterworth's Spiritual Economics, we arrive at the principle that holds the whole season together: the Word as Law. Butterworth teaches that thought and the spoken word are creative. Prosperity consciousness can't just be admired

Have you ever seen a pond with no outlet? It looks peaceful at first. Then the water goes still, and then stagnant. Life was never meant to be dammed. This week in our dialogue on Eric Butterworth’s Spiritual Economics, we ask: what if the thing we hold tightest is the very thing blocking the flow? Last week we remembered that Spirit is our one Source and that every paycheck is simply a channel. So what do we do with the flow? We let it circulate. The Law of Circulation Butte

Abundant Living, Abundant Giving is our prosperity theme for 2027 There is a beautiful teaching in Science of Mind: our consciousness is creative. Ernest Holmes taught that we participate in the Universal Creative Process through our thoughts, beliefs, acceptance, and actions. We are not separate from the Infinite; we are expressions of the One Life. What we accept within ourselves eventually seeks expression through our lives. That means our spiritual practice cannot remain

Abundant Living. Abundant Giving our 2027 Pledge campaign is underway! What if prosperity is not something we get—but something we awaken to, participate in, and put into circulation? As we begin our annual Prosperity Pledge Program, our theme is Abundant Living, Abundant Giving, and our conversation begins with Eric Butterworth’s Spiritual Economics and the foundation of his teaching: Redefining Prosperity. Butterworth challenges one of our most deeply held assumptions: that

What if the greatest prison isn't made of concrete and steel? What if some of the walls that keep us separated—from ourselves, from one another, and from the possibility of a greater life—are walls we have learned to build in our own minds? For over 15+ years, Rev. Nicole and I have had the opportunity to participate in prison ministry, sitting with incarcerated people and exploring principles that can help transform the way they think, live, and see their future. We cannot c

This month we continue with the theme of Communion. We acknowledge there is something sacred about sharing a cup. Across cultures and traditions, the cup represents hospitality, celebration, covenant, nourishment, and connection. A cup is rarely just about what it contains. It is about the relationship created when we offer it, receive it, and pass it from one person to another. This month, as we explore Communion, I have been thinking about the cup we share—not simply a phys

Our theme for this month of September 2027 is Communion. We often think of communion as something we do together—a sacred meal, a shared ritual, a gathering around a table where bread is broken and something greater is remembered. Communion speaks to connection, belonging, and the sacredness of sharing. But what if communion is also an invitation to sit at the table within? What if there is a place inside each of us where Spirit is already waiting—not demanding, not judging,

Have you ever said, "I'll Believe it when I see it?" Motivational speaker and author Wayne Dyer used to say, "You will See it, when you Believe it!" and then he added icing to the cake with his famous statement, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change!" This teaching reminds us that there comes a moment when what we believe must become what we live. It is easy to speak about love, peace, abundance, forgiveness, faith, and possibility. We can

What are you rooted in? This is an important question to ask ourselves, especially as we explore this month’s theme of Embodiment. Before we can rise, we must become conscious of what is beneath us—what is supporting us, nourishing us, and determining the direction of our growth. Every day, we are planting thoughts. Some of those thoughts come from our spiritual principles. Others come from fear, past experiences, social conditioning, other people’s opinions, the news, circum

“We become what we contemplate.” — Ernest Holmes, This Thing Called You There is a quiet but profound difference between believing in abundance and living abundantly. Many of us have spent years with these spiritual principles. We know the affirmations by heart. We understand the Law of Cause and Effect. We have read the books, sat in the classes, and prayed more prayers than we could ever count. And still, the invitation in front of us is larger than understanding Truth. I

“And the Word became flesh and lived among us.” — John 1:14 There is something powerful about the movement from an idea to an experience. We can think about love. We can talk about love. We can read books about love and even affirm that we are love. But something changes when love becomes flesh—when it takes form in the way we speak, the way we listen, the way we forgive, and the way we show up for one another. This month at our AHIAH beloved community, our theme is Embodimen

A Five-Step Journey Toward Spiritual Liberation "Love points the way and law makes the way possible."— Ernest Holmes "The end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the Beloved Community."— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom is more than the breaking of personal chains. It is the awakening of a consciousness that makes reconciliation possible and transforms a collection of individuals into a Beloved Community. Ernest Holmes reminds us that Love i

Not every chain is made of iron. Some chains are invisible. They are forged from fear, old beliefs, painful memories, limiting stories, inherited assumptions, and unconscious habits of thought. We cannot touch them, yet they shape our choices. We cannot see them, yet they quietly determine what we believe is possible. The greatest prison is often the one we carry in our own consciousness. This week, I invite us to consider one of the greatest spiritual gifts we have been give

"Sawubona". I see you. I see your Freedom. In this season for remembering freedom, I think of my Pops, whose quick thinking saved him from dying on DDay in WWII, young Black man fighting for a freedom his own country hadn't fully granted him yet. I think of my great grandmother Eudora and her twin sister Izora, working as domestic servants at age 11 in 1870, born into a world that tried to tell them who they were allowed to be. None of them waited for freedom to be handed to

Spirit Says Yes There are moments in life when we feel disconnected from ourselves, others, and even our Higher Power. We may still be functioning, achieving, managing responsibilities, and showing up for others, yet somewhere beneath the surface there is a quiet question waiting to be asked: What if I dared to imagine something more? And beneath that question, an even quieter truth waiting to be heard: Spirit has already said yes. This week, as we close our Reimagine series,
