Rev. Jean was ordained into ministry in June of 2002 after successfully completing the two year training program at Unity School of Christianity.   By October 2002, she had been hired as the Minister of Unity Eastside Church where she is still serving.  

 

One of the central messages of her ministry is:  We each come into this world with a gift, and as a gift. Rev. Jean emphasizes connecting with the Presence within in order to surrender our limited sense of self, which then allows our Divine Self to emerge.  This is the work of a lifetime, and the greatest source of joy to those who pursue it!

​

Rev Jean is going to be in the "hot seat" as she candidly responds to questions such as:

• Why would anyone consider being a part of a spiritual community to help in the challenge of healing a child with chronic illnesses?

• Why do we need to challenge spiritual communities and "shop" for a community that meets our needs?

• What is the difference between being led by Faith or Fear and the impact on healing?

• What changes do spiritual communities make in order to meet the needs of families with children with chronic illnesses?

• How can these special families help others in their spiritual communities in their own personal spiritual development?

• How can we help our children to cultivate their own divine "super powers"?
