“If nearly every religion has a practice of prayer, then why do so few seem to understand what prayer is?
In today’s podcast and post I reveal how both believers and unbelievers have misunderstood prayer and as a result, suffer confusion about the purpose and function of prayer.
Join me now as we look through the portal of contemplation and discover why many so-called prayers are not actually prayers, and why it’s absolutely necessary for some prayers to never be answered at all.
“Do you suffer from anxiety or insomnia? Maybe you need a new definition…
In today’s podcast and post I propose an alternative way to view anxiety and insomnia. As someone who has suffered with these for much of my life, I have discovered a profoundly liberating framework from which I’ve found a lasting sense of peace and rest.
Join me now as I offer a new definition of anxiety which invites us to consider that these are not problems for which we must seek treatment, but are instead invitations to a deeper dimension of life.
“Is time travel possible?
Perhaps time travel as it is depicted in movies is not yet a reality, but does that mean we cannot have and even cultivate experiences with timelessness? In today’s podcast and post we conclude our mini-series on time with a look at four rather obvious areas where we have experiences which are beyond the bounds of time.
Join me now as see beyond some very common, everyday experiences and explore some forms of timeless existence and why insisting that “it’s all in our head” cannot be an excuse, but may in fact be a proof.
“What is time? Do we live within a linear framework that is ticking along second by second?”

Join me now as we see beyond the fabric of time and discover how consciousness creates a self-time continuum which is worthy of our consideration.
“Why is it so hard to change the mind of a stubborn person? My answer may surprise you.
In today’s podcast and post we explore why some people insist on holding certain beliefs even if such beliefs cause themselves or others to suffer. I’ll reveal why the “religious mind” is not limited to those who subscribe to religion, and why scripture reveals it to be the most lost mind a person can have.
Join me now as we see beyond everything and I offer an extremely difficult path to personal and global freedom.
“Where is the Dwelling place of God? Is there really such a thing?”
In today’s podcast and post we rejoin our ongoing series of Psalms Greatest Hits with a look at the Ninety-First Psalm. This Psalm is attributed to Moses at the completion of the tabernacle. Many people don’t realize this is one of the most quoted Psalms of them all.
Join me now as this Psalm invites all comers to see beyond the curtain and contemplate what or where “The Dwelling Place of God” actually is.
“What would you say are the biggest pitfalls in parenting?”
In the conclusion of our series, The Power of Parenting, we will take a look a what I think are the four biggest pitfalls in parenting. In today’s podcast and post I will share how easy it is to wade into the quicksand of four common quagmires. Since none of us are perfect, none of us will ever have a perfect track record. Instead, our goal is to catch ourselves and make the necessary mid-course corrections.

Join me now as we learn to see beyond merely entertaining our kids and discover why so many people grow up without a sense of purpose.
You may have heard the proverb “Spare the rod, spoil the child,” but is that really a biblical endorsement for corporal punishment?
In today’s podcast and post we look at the difference between punishment and discipline. I will use this topic to create an inward as well as an outward line of sight into the biggest problems of life.
Join me now as we see beyond spanking our kids and discover how wisdom creates the necessary nuance which can transform our punishment into discipline and change the world.
“Do you know the difference between Authority and Influence? If so, do you know when to use them as parents?
