“I’d love for you to ask yourself: how am I applying old logic to an entirely new set of circumstances?” – Lola Wright

There is a Jewish ritual called Yahrzeit, which is the day one year following the death of a loved one. It is a time to mourn and honor a loss through ceremony. As a people we are approaching a kind of collective Yahrzeit, a time to both recognize grief and honor everything that has come over the past year.

While the future is still as uncertain as it ever has been, we cannot deny that the last year has changed us in unparalleled ways. Instead of clinging to our old understanding of the world, how can we use this anniversary to take inventory of what has changed and what no longer serves us? I invite you to leave your desire for control behind and take a step into the next stage of your life.

• (1:08) - Yahrzeit
• (4:12) - Old logic in new contexts
• (11:37) - Stepping into the unknown
• (15:38) - Taking inventory
• (19:45) - Letting go

“We know how to heal ourselves. Even in the midst of trauma, and drama, and excitement, we know what to do if we just follow the instincts of our nurtured and nature self.” - Carlton Pearson

There are so many mistruths and half-truths in this world about what faith and love actually mean, and what the history of faith actually teaches us about those concepts. Bishop Carlton Pearson reaches beyond these obfuscations and sees us turning to recognize and fight for our shared humanity.

Listen in to this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving to hear a renowned heretic talk with Lola about what made him break with his Pentecostal dogma, the messy truths of that church, and the radical change that is happening all around us.

• (07:03) - Questioning dogma
• (15:24) - Accepting reality
• (22:42) - A post-Christian world
• (31:02) - A great awakening

Carlton Pearson was one of the most beloved Pentecostal Christian personalities of his generation. Thousands would fill arenas and churches to hear him sing, preach and inspire. Things changed quite dramatically when he stood in his mega church pulpit to proclaim a new doctrine, one that declared that because of Christ, no soul will spend eternity in hell. His controversial doctrine polarized faith communities literally all over the world. He lost his influence, his church, his friends, his finances in a very short period of time, one of the church's most beloved went from hero to zero, seemingly overnight, and became the most prominently titled heretic of his generation. After spending the last two decades rebuilding and rebooting his life and ministry, Carlton Pearson has emerged with a new purpose aimed to help others examine and reconsider what they believe, why they believe it, and how those beliefs add to or subtract from the quality of their lives. He is developing a multicultural and radically inclusive Metacostal online community reaching thousands that emphasizes expanded consciousness, radically inclusive love and self actualization. His books The Gospel of Inclusion and  God Is Not a Christian, Nor a Jew, Muslim, Hindu... are available on Amazon and his CD Reflections After the Rain is available on iTunes. You can find his movie Come Sunday on Netflix.

"Love is not simply a quiet acceptance and cherishing of one another. Love is strength." - Xavier Ramey

We all have the desire to make a difference, whether that’s in ourselves, our communities, or in the world. However, the path to making that impact can seem insurmountable. How do we turn this want into an understanding and a willingness to do the required work, without hurting ourselves in the process?

On this week’s episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, we take a dive into what a fierce and loving life looks like for a social consultant and community activist. There is a lot of passion in the social change space, but there is also a lot of burnout and idealism that becomes naivety. Xavier Ramey is dedicated to doing the work to pull his own life into alignment, and to teaching others how to do the same. We talk about his leadership philosophy, how to keep your life in alignment, and the bravery of loving without fear in this vital episode.

"The results of our lives are some level of reflection in consciousness to what we’re committed to.” – Lola Wright

Most human beings are living their lives dictated by their unconscious commitments. I want to help you recognize what your commitments are and realize if they are truly where you desire your energy to be spent.

On this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, I ask you to shed your obligations and instead embrace your truest, most vital life. This audio is from the recent Set On Fire Retreat, when we came together to find the love that truly sets us on fire and align our energy towards purposeful commitments.

“What is your holy intention? This is an emergent, dynamic idea. You are literally speaking your life into existence in every single flipping moment—let this holy intention serve you, and you serve it.” – Lola Wright

We are in a pivotal time in human consciousness. While many of us feel trapped in the cycle of survival, taking the next step of growth requires us to welcome joy. By releasing what no longer serves us, we can finally grasp the love and peace that allows us to serve ourselves and others.

On this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, I invite you to embrace the radical truths of the life you desire. This audio is from the recent Set On Fire Retreat, when we came together to find the love that truly sets us on fire and interrogate what holy intentions come from that love.

“Slay the stories that no longer serve your highest and holiest expression. Connect with the radical truth of who and what you are.” – Lola Wright

I have spent a lifetime seeking affirmation from other people, places, and things. And as I have untangled that pattern, I have learned how to source the truth. When you and I develop the capacity to source our own sense of truth, we become immovable in the best ways.

The invitation this week on Find Your Fierce & Loving is to uncover the radical truth about yourself. The more comfortable and competent you are in speaking truth about yourself to yourself, the more possible the reality you desire will come forward.

You are here to live a rich life. You are here to experience wild degrees of love. This is the moment. Join me.

“There is so much investment made in your brokenness and your woundedness. There is so much investment made in the drama of the human condition. How will you disrupt that in 2021?” – Lola Wright

2020 was a year of tipping points - from a global pandemic to toxic politics to an awakening around the hundreds of years of racial injustice in the United States. The unworkability that has existed in human consciousness is beginning to surface. This is good news. While awakening is upon us, human beings remain largely pushed by pain, and you may even find yourself attempting to make resolutions, goals, intentions, and commitments based on a kind of intolerant state.

On this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, I’m asking you to step out of the loop of suffering. As one of my great mentors and friends, Michael Beckwith says, "pain pushes and vision pulls.”

We need to get curious about a life pulled by vision rather than a life driven by adrenalized goals, commitments, and resolutions. Join me. Let’s do this New Year a bit differently. Let’s tap into your fierce and loving.

• (00:41) - Pulled by vision
• (08:21) - Cosmic perfection
• (13:39) - Manufactured suffering
• (22:18) - Level up your community
• (26:46) - Disrupt the inertia

“Recognize there is an order to this vast universe that transcends our ability to comprehend. There is something that goes far beyond the circumstances and conditions of our lives. There is something that transcends the devastation and despair of our human reality. I invite you to surrender into this unknown, unseen realm.” – Lola Wright

This year we have navigated great loss, great transition, and great trauma. In this mediation, I invite you to scan your memory and bring forward anything that's calling your attention, that lives in the realm of dreams, desires, and expectations for this past year. As we soften, we create more space, we become curious, available, and open to the infinite interpretations of our life experiences. 

In this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, we navigate this threshold into a new year with the support of this vast universe that is in you and all around you. I will guide you through a meditation that deeply honors loss, the unknown, and the unexpected. And now I invite you to find a comfortable, still space and to give yourself the gift of slowing down. May we be available to see all of the good that is around us in every given moment.

“The world says there are good people and bad people. But we have to surrender the limitations of duality and begin to entertain that there is just one power, it's neutral and it goes where we direct it to flow.” - Mark Anthony Lord

We grow up with the world screaming that there are two powers. Dualistic thinking of right and wrong, good and bad leads us to humanity’s suffering loop. Mark Anthony Lord, author and minister, believes that as we fiercely accept ourselves, extend grace to those we meet, and practice forgiveness, we have the capacity to shift this trance.

On this week’s edition of Find Your Fierce & Loving, I invite you to share in an important conversation with my good friend, my mentor, my teacher, my practice partner in all things awakening. We discuss Mark Anthony’s journey through his own broken ideas of God, himself, and the world and how it has led him to find increased peace and become the great spiritual leader he is today. We talk about how the suffering of 2020 is an invitation to give up playing small. Tune in!

• (04:53) - Reclaim yourself
• (08:09) - The world's idea of power
• (09:26) - Awakening today
• (13:37) - Surrender duality
• (18:11) - Grace is always available
• (23:01) - Provoke forgiveness
• (26:38) - Unravel the pain
• (30:29) - Completing the year
• (32:38) - A Course in Miracles

Mark Anthony Lord is a minister, author, online course creator, and is passionate about helping people heal from religious trauma - creating a new, more loving and empowering relationship with God. Mark Anthony has come a long way from the broken ideas of God, himself, and the world. It wasn't an easy journey, as it isn't for any of us, but it has been deeply rewarding and fulfilling. The good that he has experienced far exceeds the pain he has had to move through. Mark did his time in 12 step rooms, including 30 days in a private treatment center in Canada, and he was truly changed by that awakening. He was led to the spiritual side of himself and his life. It gave him an insatiable drive to consume countless spiritual books, attend every workshop possible, and eventually stand on the stage at Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles when he graduated with his Masters in Divinity and became a minister. It was a long way from where he started. 

Mark has done more than 10,000 hours on the spiritual field, teaching, speaking, preaching and practicing spiritual truths that are the cornerstones for living an authentic, faithful life. Mark knows how to help people find the pitfalls of perfectionism, transform them and break through the fears along the path to self mastery. This certainly does not mean that Mark does not fall down, act a fool or forget, but he has faced enough of the ego's bullshit to be able to smell it a mile away and has made a hundred percent decision that he is not buying that for himself or for any of us.

“Dreams worth pursuing will scare you. This thing we call struggle, when understood as growth, is a great gift.”  — Lola Wright

What is pushing your buttons? We have an opportunity to learn to develop comfort with our discomfort. It involves familiarizing yourself with your inner growth edge. I'm talking about your inner state. What rattles you? What throws you off? One one of my early teachers, Denise Schubert, would say, “I may have pushed your buttons, but I did not install them.”

On this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, I ask you to get close to your personal growth edge. Closer. Uncomfortably close. Ask it to expand your capacity for discomfort. Receive the gifts of your struggle as you become more in tune with yourself and the things you previously could not see - evolution, growth, and expansion.  

Tune in and let’s push some buttons. Let’s ask the necessary questions. Let’s get uncomfortably close to your inner growth edge. 

• (00:41) - Falling in love with discomfort
• (04:54) - Buttons of shame
• (16:24) - Setting on fire
• (20:07) - Exercise in grace
• (24:25) - Where is the gap?
