Finding the Yes

Kevin Wanzer • November 6, 2023

When we find the "Yes," we step into our power

How often do we default to "No" when faced with something even just slightly outside our comfort zones? Sometimes "finding the Yes" means simply looking for the positive, the gift, the light in a situation -- especially one outside our control -- in which we've been focusing on the negative. Positive thinking is about personal empowerment, not denial. When we find the Yes, we step into our power. 


On Sunday, November 12, motivational comedian Kevin Wanzer takes over The Garden service to share a message of joy, optimism, and personal empowerment. Join us in person or online for inspiration on Finding the Yes!
