I give my observations on holding space for someone - what it means and how we can do it. How does one truly listen to others without judgment or opinion? What does it mean to listen? To truly listen? Find out on on this episode.
Join me as I share an amazing Tarot experience, talk about spirit guides and reincarnation, then send my mom off on her next journey. This one might be a little woo woo, so buckle up!
Finding the good in others starts with a thoughtful and honest look at yourself. In this episode, I talk about the shadow side of our nature and how we need to understand it and deal with it in order to be a light for others.
My observations on the nature of humankind and how we need to find a way to love, accept, and forgive people. Finding the divine nature in people can be hard as we spend so much time looking on the outside. We must look within to truly know the essence of the person - their very soul.
A conversation between me and another exvangelical and former seminarian who runs a parody account on Twitter knows as TheoBro Extraordinaire. We talk about Christianity and the process of deconstruction. We explore quite a few topics, such as Christian Twitter, TheoBros, and the modern evangelical movement and the impact it has on those around it.
Note: Pardon some of the technical difficulties during the discussion.
My observations about ancient civilizations, the gods, aliens, UFOs, and all those mysterious supernatural things that fascinated me as a child and still do.
This was a fascinating conversation covering everything from reincarnation to the meaning of life to trying to figure out why those UFOs show up in our lives. Stephen had great insight, research, and stories to share.
My observations on the similarities of cults and fundamentalism and why people get trapped in them. Drawing from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, I walk through the five levels of his pyramid and talk about how these groups exploit and seem to fulfill those needs, but they are based on lies.
A follow up to my blog post about the church. I also talk about being a recovering fundamentalist and how that impacts my approach to religious discussion.
I spend some time talking with children about their views of the world. We cover everything from school shooter drills, the impact of COVID on their education, and bullies to sex and drugs. This is not one to be missed.
My observations on a group of Christians known as TheoBros, their theology, and how their behavior impacts those around them.
Rabbi Michael Harvey and I discuss Judaism, Christianity, antisemitism, anti-Judaism, and so much more!
Amy Nordhues and I talk about her book, Preyed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse. We discuss different aspects of emotional, spiritual, and sexual abuse and her journey from victim to victor in her own life.
Deborah and I talk about her life as a model, Playboy centerfold and cover girl and how she has learned through life’s challenges to succeed and be a resource for others.
My observations on the Hillsborough Disaster, from police incompetency and corruption to media recklessness, this story is heartbreaking. This episode is dedicated to the victims and their families, who fight so hard for justice. Justice for the 97.
Constance Marie, best known for her long-time run on the ABC comedy, “George Lopez,” joins me to talk about her career, some of life’s challenges and how she has used them to help others. We also talk about her Latinx romantic comedy series, “With Love.”
My observations on what I think happens after you die. This involves sharing a very personal experience I had with past life regression.
My observations on this year’s Olympic figure skating debacle and how it is just part of a bigger problem.
Kindle Smyth, author of the new book, Follow Your Fernweh, joins me to talk about her book and how she took an extraordinary leap that changed her life.
My observations about insecure men, often calling themselves“Alpha Males” and how they pretty much ruin everything.
