No Sugar-Coating the Darkmess—Rev. Dr. Martha Creek, Unity of the Palm Beaches

Rev. Dr. Martha Creek. No Sugar-Coating the Darkness. In this powerful Advent reflection, spiritual teacher Martha Creek challenges the "sugar-coated" version of the holiday season and invites us into a more honest, human spirituality. She shares stories of real grief — a woman who couldn't do Christmas after a miscarriage, and a man finding sobriety in the messiest of circumstances — to remind us that God meets us exactly where we are, in our pain, worry, and darkness. Advent isn't about pretending everything is fine or forcing joy; it's about sitting with what's real and allowing space for all parts of ourselves without suppression or denial. This message offers profound permission to be human during a season that often demands perfection. Rev. Martha emphasizes that spiritual maturity means holding the paradox: yes, there is light coming, and yes, there is darkness and pain — both are true, both belong. With empathy wired into our very biology, we're called to meet ourselves and others with compassion, not platitudes. Whether you're navigating loss, inconvenience, or simply the exhaustion of pretending, this talk reminds us that the incarnation begins when we stop performing spirituality and start living it authentically.
