“Nirvana is Seeing One Thing through to the end”
The subtitle for this Sunday's talk is Perseverance! Perseverance! Perseverance! Though freedom is our inherent nature all the time, it takes work to experience and live it beyond and within the confines of our human identity. We believe it's possible, but do we keep doing the daily work day after day to make it our living reality? We get to choose every day if we will continue on our path of freedom or stay in the imprisoning routine of our small identity. What one thing, if you saw it through to the end, would have a powerful, positive, transformative, impact on your life?
July Theme: Freedom Finders
July 21st: In the Meantime…

There is also an HBO documentary, which they are showing for free on their website for the next 30 days, about Bryan Stevenson, Hinton's lawyer. It's excellent.
