Thought Leader Thursday with Dr. Sydney Steen

With Faith, With Hope, and With Fingers Crossed Rev. Dr. Sydney Steen joins Rev. Dr. Pjae Stanley to talk about your faith and hope. Are they negotiable? Are they mitigated by CNN, social media, or your cholesterol levels?? Many of us think of God as either Santa Claus, divine bellhop or hitman. And yet, Ernest Holmes wrote: "You have a silent partner within you whose energy is inexhaustible and whose intelligence is without limit." Do we really believe that? It's long past the time to let God be God--in us, through us, and as us. Bio Rev. Dr. Sydney Steen is ordained through both CSL and ANTN (Religious Science and Interfaith Traditions). She is the Community Spiritual Leader and Senior Minister at the North Hollywood Church of Religious Science, A Oneness Center for Spiritual Living. Raised in Religious Science, Dr. Sydney’s commitment to spirit and to cultivating the unfoldment of the Divine within ALL people is absolute. Her dedication to inclusivity, sacred activism, and social justice informs her life, her teaching, and her speaking. Dr. Sydney is also well-known in the music world as a fierce jazz pianist, keyboardist, composer, and conductor. She has worked with artists ranging from Shirley MacLaine, Dizzy Gillespie, and the Stan Kenton Orchestra, to the Pointer Sisters, Sarah Brightman, Robert Goulet, and even the Oregon Symphony. Additionally, she spent literally thousands of hours playing keyboard in the orchestra pits of Broadway shows such as: Les Miserable, CATS, Aida, Jesus Christ Superstar, Chicago, Spamalot, Beauty and The Beast, and Legally Blonde.
