We live in a world of changing hearts and changing communities. Spiraling family violence, child abuse, and neglect, often related to intergenerational trauma, severely impacts many communities. On an international level accelerating threats of nuclear war, climate change, and artificial general intelligence in the hands of unscrupulous operators, present disturbing challenges for our future. If we want to see change in families, communities, and nations, it must begin in our hearts. The scourge of insatiable approval-seeking, alienation from our Creator, intergenerational trauma, and the debilitating effects of a broken heart and spirit, simmer within us. How can we experience spiritual change? First, we need to identify what needs to change and secondly how we can be empowered to pivot deeply entrenched beliefs and habits. In order to significantly change the counter-productive thought patterns of our minds, we need to experience a pervasive pivot in our heart attitudes. This publication re-examines and contextualizes arguably the most significant change movement in history, exploring how we can discover the power to change and contribute toward building healing communities in an uncertain world of accelerating change.
