San Diego Reader: How long do you spend preparing your lessons?

Pastor Kimberly Hicks: I don’t speak every week, but rotate other speakers in, because I think our community can learn from hearing about other peoples’ journeys. I speak once a month at church, but in terms of getting the church ready, I’ll have two months planned out for whatever happens at our church service — our inspirational reader, our healing meditation. So, we’re pretty much on a schedule.

SDR: What’s your favorite subject to present on?

PH: Mediumship and how much healing it brings to everyone who is working with their spirit-guide and the loved ones who have passed over. There is so much healing in that. A medium is someone who talks to those who have passed over — spirit-guides and angels… So to connect with a loved one or their angel is to help a person with what’s going on in their life right now. Maybe they need to be in touch with a mother who just passed over, or someone like that. That’s a healing process, because it’s all from love… People have different kinds of healing. It can be a healing from grief or from a trauma that happened or just from needing a little guidance. “What direction do I need to go?” We don’t tell them, but a spirit might come to say, “Hey, it might be a good idea to consider this.” It brings a comfort to people, knowing that those who have passed over are fine. We give them evidence, too — there are specific things only these people would know and we wouldn’t know. We’re only giving out the information we’re receiving.

SDR: What is the mission of your church?

PH: Our motto is “With charity for all and malice toward none.” We focus on supporting each other and try not to make someone feel out of place or shunned or judged; instead, we give them love. When they come in, people feel that love in a safe place, to be who they are and discover who they are and heal in the way they need to heal so they can shine their light a little more.

SDR: Where do you go when you die?

PH: Our physical part doesn’t stick around, but the soul goes back to connecting to the universe, to God, and back to learning. Even though we cross over, we still continue to learn, and there are still lessons. That’s what is great about those who cross back over to help us in our physical bodies and be our guides. We have to ask them, though; they can’t interfere in our lives otherwise. We see death as a chemical change separating our outer physical body and our soul, which goes back to what I call home, where all things begin. There’s an endless progression of our soul. It’s not so much reincarnation, because that’s more about coming back into a body, but our souls go on beyond this life. Sometimes, however, we do have to come back, reincarnate to right a wrong in our lives. If you did something wrong to someone in your life, you might be on the receiving end this time around. Our souls continue to learn lessons this way and continue to grow. We don’t know when we’re going to die, but our soul has a plan.
