'BUILDERS OF THE DREAM' - Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar

The message was delivered on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION: What does it truly mean to build a dream? Not just to chase what we want, but to create something that lifts others as we rise? Discover why the pursuit of personal goals leaves us empty when we seek only for ourselves—and how everything changes when we shift from "getting" to "giving." Explore the profound difference between achieving success and creating meaning. Learn why generosity isn't just about money, but about using every gift you possess—humor, strength, connections, time—to open doors for others. What happens when individual ambition meets collective purpose? In an era of rising authoritarianism, banned books, and threatened freedoms, some spaces become sacred. Some voices become essential. What makes a platform truly free? And what responsibility comes with that freedom? When spirituality meets the street and faith speaks to struggle, transformation begins. This isn't about comfort—it's about courage. It's about building the world we want to live in, together. The question isn't just what you dream for yourself. It's what you're willing to build for everyone.
