Stir Up the God Within You: Sermons in Times of Turmoil gathers decades of sermons from Rev. Laura Hopper, founder of the Church of Natural Grace and teacher at Psychic Horizons. Written for seasons when the world feels anxious and uncertain, these messages invite you to return to center-grounded, present, and in living conversation with the God of your heart.
Drawing from Scripture-Matthew, Isaiah, Psalms, Corinthians, John-and from a lifetime of pastoral counseling and meditation practice, Rev. Hopper shows how spiritual tools work in real life: how to breathe through fear, clean out old pictures and judgments, forgive, set boundaries, practice gratefulness, and choose happiness. Each sermon opens a doorway into quiet attention and ends with simple steps for prayer or meditation, so the reader moves beyond inspiration into daily embodiment
Inside you'll find reflections on:
- Being "salt and light" in dark seasons and how to see clearly when the inner eye is clouded. [Interior G...God Within Word]
- Faith, fear, and freedom-what changes when we practice presence instead of anxiety. [Interior G...God Within Word]
- Gratitude and generosity as spiritual laws that open flow even in scarcity.
- Completions, forgiveness, and love-how to set down old burdens and be reborn into now.
Whether you're a pastor seeking fresh language, a small group craving practical devotionals, or a weary soul needing gentle permission to rest, Stir Up the God Within You offers companionship and practice-sermons you can sit with, pray with, and live with. In times of turmoil, the invitation remains the same: fan into flame the gift of God that is already within you.
Includes: Short guided meditations, Scripture passages, seasonal reflections (Lent, Advent/Christmas, Thanksgiving), and messages on happiness, simplicity, edification, and community.
