Brian Anderson is a Religious Science legend who led the Vista Church of Religious Science with his wife Dr. Sheila for more than thirty years. My friendship with Rev. Brian goes back even further than that. When I first came to town in 1991 he bought Seaside its first tape duplicating machine and said we’ve got to get the message out. Funny to think how times have changed from tape to CDs to now podcasts and live streaming. Through all the years Rev. Brian has used his humor and leprechaun-like personality to take people to a deep place in their walk with God! He has been lighting up the North County of San Diego literally for decades, and it’s about time he now has a S

Dr. Christian’s Corner It has been a fun season of exploring the spiritual messages of the cinema with all of you this summer. Seaside’s theme this summer has been healing. These films delivered that message beautifully: Black Panther with the dying of the old self and having your greater one rise to the occasion. Patch Adams' message of the healing power of humor. Wild had us take a look at healing grief and forgiving the self in the process, whereas Antwone Fisher had us healing childhood traumas and forgiving others.

Today we welcomed back the spirit, voice , and artistry of Margaret Owens who can be found here on her website and on Facebook. Dr. Christian’s Corner I found this quote by Elizabeth Gilbert that beautifully wraps up today's message from Eat, Pray, Love: “If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet as a teacher...and if you are prepared, most of all, to forgive some very difficu

Dr. Christian’s Corner Green Book won the Oscar this year for best picture at the Academy Awards. The story is a powerful commentary on part of our nation's history. It helps us remember our path and hopefully reminds us not to repeat those times. New York City bouncer Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga is searching for new employment while the Copacabana nightclub, where he works, is closed for renovations. He is invited to an interview with Doctor Don Shirley, an eccentric African American pianist who is looking for a driver for his eight-week concert tour through the Midwest and Deep South. Don hires Tony on the strength of his references and with the agreement of Tony's

Dr. Christian’s Corner Antwone Fisher is a young sailor, played by Derek Luke, whose life was impacted by his placement in an orphanage and being raised in an abusive foster home. In spite of the violent outbursts from the psychological trauma of his childhood, a caring psychiatrist, played by Denzel Washington, helps Antwone find his way. A rough road back, he eventually embraces forgiveness where the head doesn’t want to let go but the heart knows it’s the only answer. ~ In Love, Rev. Christian.

Dr. Christian’s Corner If you want to know yourself, you need to be with yourself. Cheryl Strayed, played by Reese Witherspoon in this week’s movie, went into the Wild and met aspects of herself she would never have known otherwise. As her world was falling apart, she chose to hike the Pacific Crest Trail for an adventure and was presented the opportunity to deal with her fears made manifest.

Dr. Christian’s Corner I’ve never been keen on having to learn through difficulties. But with that said, if you do find yourself in the midst of a challenge, there is no need to waste the gifts it can bring you. There is wisdom waiting to be gleaned from a difficult time. Too often we are in such a rush to move away from it, we forget to take a look at what there is to learn. Barbara Marx Hubbard used to say, “There’s no need to waste a good crisis.” I trust this morning’s me

www.SeasideCenter.org Today’s message from Dr. Christian Sorensen was recorded May 19th, 2019 and it’s titled What Hinders You? affirming The Power of God is my Power! Today we welcomed the sweet music of Cahill & Delene. You can visit their band page at Hot Pursuit Music Entertainment to find out more. Dr. Christian’s Corner I like the title of this morning’s message, "What Hinders You?" This question is a Spiritual Tool that can lead one right to and through whatever is getting in the way. The question will give direction to an obvious answer, but if one is willing to go deeper with the question, a greater realization can emerge. The initial issue is often on the surface, gaining all the attention of a deeper cause. The real cause can appear if one is willing to be honest with themselves. Lisa Nichols said, “The best motivation doesn’t taste good. Some motivation comes wrapped up in sandpaper.” Come visit us on our website SeasideCenter.org and you can always join us in Encinitas, California on a Sunday

www.SeasideCenter.org Today’s message from Dr. Christian Sorensen was recorded May 12th, 2019 and it’s titled The Heart of Healing affirming Love inspires and transforms my life! Today we welcome the beautiful music of the mother and daughter duo, Deejah and Sharifah. Dr. Christian’s Corner I love Mother’s Day. It reminds me to consciously pause and remember my mom. I was blessed to have a wonderful mother who taught me about love through example. She was a powerhouse. When she prayed, God said, “yes ma'am!” I learned that love and strength can go hand in hand. As a Spiritual Practitioner, she used to see 40 clients a week and did that for 30 years. She had a connection with Spirit that produced healing results. She demonstrated the power of the heart and mind over the conditions of this world. Mother’s Day is a wonderful time to take a moment to reconnect with your mother, whether in this plane of existence or in another. The love that brought you two together in this world transcends time and space and will

Today we welcome back the spirit, voice, beauty, and artistry of Nadine Risha who can be found here on her website and on Facebook. Dr. Christian’s Corner As we at Seaside continue our journey this year on the subject of Healing, cleaning up the past is an important part of the equation. If you’ve been lugging some extra baggage from the past to the present day, it may be time to unload some of the weight! I trust this morning’s message will inspire you to open up and unpack some of those things that may not be serving you any longer. I hope you enjoyed my cooking from the stage last week to help launch Gourmets for God. Thank you to those of you who stopped by the G4G table last week and proposed hosting a meal. We got a good jump on having some fun offerings. Talk to Susan Sullivan at the G4G table today and she can help your imagination create a fun gathering

Today we welcome the talent and voice of Keith Leon who can be found on his website at Leon Smith Publishing. Dr. Christian’s Corner Earth Day occurred last week. The Seaside Sisters, under the guidance of Kalli Holmes Sorensen, created a beautiful evening of rituals with the fire pit and water blessing. The chanting led by Flossie Park and the drumming and earth blessing from Gary Palisch, a Native American from the Lakota Nation, was transcendent. As Easter so closely preceded Earth Day this year, I felt a few words about our Mother Earth today was still in order. I am always inspired when I spend some time reconnecting my heart, soul, and mind with our beautiful planet that so incredibly supports our life as we live and walk on her "surface." Today begins the gathering of our offerings of meals/events for Gourmets for God. This is

Given Easter today we have a full band with a horn section along with our musical guest artists Karl Anthony, The Seaside Choir, and our Artistic Director Rebecca Jade. Dr. Christian’s Corner I love Easter at Seaside. The band is full, the music is powerful, and so many of us have come together to celebrate the essence of Spring and life rising in our world! It’s about remembering; no matter how down we might be on ourselves or what heaviness is perceived around us, there is an indomitable life force seeking to 'spring-up' with a fresh vibrancy as our life renews itself now. The great religions from the beginning of time have celebrated the Spring with their stories of life, from the Greek’s Persephone to the Celtic’s Brigit. Also, there was Ina
