Be set free
To live a life of liberty, we have to find the nature and substance of liberty — God, good itself.
In this talk, we’ll examine liberty
from a Biblical perspective, and
see how real people today find
their freedom from all kinds
of physical, emotional and
circumstantial restrictions, that
seem clearly beyond their control,
so that they may BE SET FREE.

Nicole R. Virgil, CS
Christian Science Practitioner and a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship
Nicole’s father was a free-lance church organist, and her parents attended services at many different Christian churches in New England. Her mom had been on a years-long search to find out how to practice Christian healing just as Jesus did, and when she started attending Christian Science church services, she found what she was looking for. As a result, Nicole was raised in Christian Science, and developed a deep desire for an intimate relationship with God.
Nicole studied Christian Science with her mom and music with her dad, and found that each discipline complemented the other. Christian Science healed performance anxiety, while learning music honed the skills she needed for spiritual practice — skills such as intuition, listening, patience and diligence. Throughout her life, Christian Science and music have always overlapped: after studying opera at music school, she took her one-woman opera review program (That Can’t Be Opera!) on the road, educating audiences about opera by singing Mozart, Puccini, and Menotti. Christian Science guided her through this entrepreneurial endeavor, just as it led her to start soloing in churches as a teenager (which is something she still loves to do!) — Nicole eventually married, started a family with her husband, and entered the public practice of Christian Science.
