Jerry uses the concept of the Golden Rule that is in all of the major religions to help us see how much more we have in common than what divides us. He explores the misconceptions people have of different religions and helps us find ways of appreciating the truth that is in all faith traditions.

Soul-Shaping

How do we let go of our past and join with God in creating the life we desire. We are Spiritual Beings on a Human journey not Human Beings on a Spiritual journey. Shaping our soul is key to producing an abundant, joyful life. Jerry is speaking at Carmel Christian Church in Carmel Indiana

The Quest for Peace – Spirituality Beyond Religion

 Religions create conflict all around the world. However, was religion really created so that it polarizes people? Doesn’t all religions teach us how to love each other and seek a peaceful world?

Our tribalistic nature and power hunger have created walls between us, and we must break through them by understanding that we are all the same.

I talk about building bridges of understanding and unity between faith traditions to bring shalom to our world.
