In his sermon “In Dreams”, Rev. T. J. Fitzgerald takes us on a journey through dreams—those we hold while awake, those born of anxiety, and those that give us hope. With humor, personal anecdotes (including the “gayest coming out story ever” featuring two future Broadway Elphabas from Wicked), and poignant reflections, Rev. T. J. connects the sacred act of dreaming to the themes of Advent, justice, and courage.
Exploring the rich traditions of dream interpretation across history and faith, he reminds us of the prophetic power of dreams to inspire change. Rev. T. J. calls us to “dream more, not less,” even in challenging times, and to nurture the seeds of vision and hope within ourselves. With nods to poets like Lucille Clifton and Marcel Proust, he challenges the pragmatism that sacrifices human rights and envisions a world where all can flourish.
Watch, read, or listen now to explore how dreams can defy gravity and guide us toward a world filled with justice, love, and freedom.
