Reliving the Dream & Legacy – Inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King & Dramatist Steven Loewenstein



From proclaiming the beauty in diversity to the justice of equality, it’s the messages of bold individuals like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who spurred our country into change so that we can represent the vibrant picture of unity that God intended.

For the past 10 years, Steven Loewenstein has been re-enacting many of Dr. King’s public speeches to educate, inspire and motivate others. Memphis to Montgomery is Steven’s 30 minute tribute to the greatest dreamer of our time—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who dreamed a dream higher than himself and taught us to do the same.

I first saw Loewenstein present at my church where he is also a member and am inspired by how he passionately portrays the messages that inspired a nation into change. His delivery is so moving and spot on that if I heard the message from afar I would have believed I was listening to an actual recording of Dr. King.

Below watch the “I Have a Dream” speech reenacted by Steven Loewenstein at an MLK Essay Competition in Frisco, Texas.

“Close your eyes and open your heart and you too will relive THE DREAM.”
-Dr. Wm. Gregory Sawyer -Vice President for Student Affairs, California State University-Channel Islands

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once wrote, “everybody can be great because everybody can serve.” In the spirit of the servant, Dr. King, Steven Dean Loewenstein serves the community through his powerful oratorical tribute to one of America’s greatest leaders.

Steven presents a one-man performance, embracing Dr. King’s most beloved and heart rendering speeches. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “March on Washington” will come alive through Mr. Loewenstein’s interpretation of “I Have a Dream.” The dramatic experience of the “Letter from Birmingham City Jail” and the poignancy of the “Drum Major Instinct” will unfold before your very eyes and ears as Steven touches hearts with rhetorical eloquence only befitting a “King”!

Make a Leap Towards God’s Dreams For Your Life



The new year gives us a fresh stretch of sky to launch into, and a feeling of freedom from past burdens and blunders. I’ve been hearing from various mentors and pastors that 2012 holds special significance, for one that it’s a leap year and that twelve is an abundant number. I believe this is a year with even more possibility and limitless potential, and the year for you and I to shrug off fear and take a leap into our purpose and God’s dreams for us.

This is the beginning of the beginning, make the most of every new day given to you. His dreams for us are higher, fuller, more full-filling, farther-reaching and deeper-impacting than what we have planned so in 2012 let HIS Kingdom come, and His will & dreams be done on Earth, in our lives as it is in Heaven…

This is what the LORD says–your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. Isaiah 48:17

Happy New Year from Dream in Soul!

Word: Nothing Is Impossible With God, Luke 1 – Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Dream in Soul!

Just as Mary let the Holy Spirit dwell in her to bring about God’s dreams through her life – plans that were larger than she could imagine – let’s do the same and remember in this season and in the upcoming year that with God, nothing is impossible.

He is a God of miracles, marvels and great love for you and I, represented in the present He sent to live among us – God incarnate, love personified…

May your dreams be merry and bright this season; wishing a Blessed and Joyous Christmas to you and your family!

- Julene Fleurmond, Editor of Dream in Soul


Word: The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee, 27 to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David. 28 Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!”

29 Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. 30 “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God! 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!”

34 Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”

35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. 36 What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she’s now in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God.

38 Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.
