The collective energy, care, responsibility, and time shared among individuals can create something larger than any one person \u2014 a force capable of healing, strengthening, and even saving lives. But Dez also reminds the congregation that divinity requires humility. Passion without grounding can become destructive, and even leaders must remain accountable to the community they serve. Through stories, reflection, and a moment of transparency about leadership decisions, this sermon invites listeners to consider the giants they build through their relationships \u2014 and whether those giants truly serve them. Because every relationship, every gathering, and every moment spent together contributes to the divine presence we create as a community. And the question becomes: Do the giants you create nurture you\u2026 or harm you? &amp;nbsp;  In This Sermon   Why recognizing our own divinity must include humility   The danger of passion without direction   A transparent look into leadership decisions behind the pulpit   How community accountability strengthens spiritual leadership   The concept of the \u201cdivine us\u201d created through shared time and intention   Why relationships shape the spiritual forces around us   How community can heal in ways individuals cannot   The responsibility each person carries in shaping collective energy   The impact of toxic relationships and \u201ctoxic giants\u201d   Why tending to our relationships is part of revering the self   Real stories of healing and life-changing support found in community   How shared time creates the most powerful form of spiritual connection   &amp;nbsp;  Community Announcements   The Colorado Psychedelic Church will be participating in Colorado Springs Pride this year.
