Living the Truth of Who You Are: Spiritual Tools for a Changing World

Living the Truth of Who You Are: Spiritual Tools for a Changing World

What if the chaos of our world isn’t the end, but the beginning of something extraordinary? Rev. Gordon Keyler believes we are in the midst of a spiritual evolution—from fear to love, from ego to unity, and from domination to collaboration. In this episode, he invites us to reimagine our divine potential, rediscover the lost wisdom of Jesus, and embrace our role in the birth of a heart-centered humanity.

Today I’m joined by a truly visionary spiritual teacher and guide, Rev. Gordon Keyler. Rev. Gordon is the Senior Minister at Unity Spiritual Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and his journey is as rich and soulful as the wisdom he shares. From questioning traditional Christianity at age 13 to embracing Unity’s practical and empowering teachings, Gordon has spent his life on a quest for radical love, authentic spiritual truth, and deep human connection.

In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about what it means to move from Homo sapiens, the head-centered human, to Homo agapian, a term he coined to describe the emerging heart-centered human.

We discussed:
