Something New Is Here - The Rebranding

The New Awaken Kindness with DaRevsUSA, your hosts the Rev. Dr. Penny Taylor and/or Rev. Dr. Bill Ressl

Welcome! The New Awaken Kindness with DaRevsUSA with your hosts Rev. Dr. Penny Taylor and Rev. Dr. Bill Ressl – IS HERE! A number of new and upgraded episodes are in process and we will continue to add new content as we preach at different locations through time. Come join the journey!

The original Awaken Kindness by DaRevsUSA has been rebranded into The New Awaken Kindness with DaRevsUSA, your hosts Rev. Dr. Penny L. Taylor and/or Rev. Dr. Bill Ressl - and it is a continuing work in progress! This new rebranding is now part of Grow I Am self-development active learning platform – please visit us at growIam.com

Why? Well we have grown to recognize that the message is the most important. So new episodes will be straight to the point - straight to the most important part - the message. Each new episode will feature the Rev. Dr. Penny Taylor or the Rev. Dr. Bill Ressl (or both) preaching the message. We also weighed the options of deleting our old original content – or leaving it – we have decided to let it continue to remain on the podcast as an indication of our growth – we all grow in time, try different things – and the reality is the past, present, and future are always in flux, always informing each other and growing into something new and different – new creations always build off of whatever the existing foundation is in one way or another – we wanted transparency related to the foundations of this new rebranding.

The Rev. Dr. Penny Taylor and the Rev. Dr. Bill Ressl bring a host of experiences into their message preparation - including over 35+ years of couplehood and a host of lived experiences. Both are Ordained Ministers in the United Church of Christ (UCC) and co-served a local congregation for nearly 18 years. Both hold a Master of Divinity, Master of Social Work, and PhD in theology, ethics, and the human sciences. In addition to serving in the local church, Penny has also taught divinity and social work at the Chicago Theological Seminary, Loyola University Chicago, Aurora University, and North Park University. Similarly, Bill has taught bachelor, master, and doctoral level courses at the Chicago Theological Seminary, Aurora University, Dominican University, Elmhurst University, and North Park University. Today, in addition to being guest preachers in churches, they offer individual and couples therapy through their private practice, CenterToAwakenKindness.com

Come join us in exploring goodness, love, hope, and many different aspects of life through understandings of scripture.
