Be Set Free
with Nicole Virgil
In this talk, we will explore Biblical perspectives on freedom and hear real-life examples of people breaking free from physical, emotional, and situational struggles. Life often feels full of obstacles that limit our freedom, but the real challenge is not the barriers themselves. It is not knowing where to find our God-given liberty. True freedom is not just about circumstances changing. It is about discovering the spiritual, unburdened, and purposeful liberty that already belongs to us, proving that true liberty comes from understanding God as its source.
About Nicole Virgil
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.
Today Nicole enjoys raising children, gardening, soloing in church, and witnessing the healing effect of Christian Science.
