The Power of Belief: What We Choose to Live By
Rev. Dr. Stephanie Bush Mann
What do our beliefs make possible—and when do they hold us back? Drawing on Unity teachings, personal experience, and her work in prison ministry, Rev. Dr. Stephanie Bush Mann explores how beliefs shape our sense of self, our relationships, and our response to uncertainty. This reflection invites people of every spiritual perspective to examine inherited assumptions and choose beliefs that support compassion, courage, human dignity, and meaningful action.
