218-WIN/LOSE IS A LOSER, WIN/WIN IS A WINNER ATTITUDE

The so called Zero-Sum Game in which there is one winner and one loser arises from a distorted view of reality, called by some as a Scarcity Mentality. I discuss how the Abundance Mentality that emanates from God's very Consciousness, helps both sides in any interaction.

We discuss: the power of intensely listening to others, the most surprising trait of a humble person, a medical doctor who made one of the greatest contributions to human health you've never heard of, and the unexpected benefits of being a lifelong learner.

216-TAKING LISTENING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

I discuss what people really want, to be listened to. Also, how to actively listen to others, how to progressively love your life, and how to live your life at 40,000 feet just looking down on it all.

Feb 13, 202131 minEp. 216

215-THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

213-WHAT IS HUMILITY?

Humility is not what people commonly think it is. Listen as I discuss what humility really is. I also discuss: how veterans can be healed of the emotional scars of war, why Love is not envious, and why businesses run by humble people do better than those run by the arrogant.

212-SHUTTING DOWN THE XEROX BRAIN

We all want to avoid suffering, but we often create horrible suffering for ourselves and those around us until we learn the difference between necessary and unnecessary suffering.

211-DR. LARRY NASSER HELPS ME TO WALK AGAIN

America has one hope to get off the insane path we are presently on. We must begin to realize that no one is 100% good, and no one is 100% bad. I give my testimony of how Dr. Larry Nasser the former Doctor to the US Woman's Gymnastic team and internationally known pedophile, helped me to walk again.

210-THE 13 BIASES OF LOVE (PART 1)

I've already covered the default operating system of the 13 Biased Brain. But much of what you get from this brain is hatred and fear. I now discuss the 13 Biases of Love, and exactly how to install the Love Biased Brain that reflects how God operates.

Jan 02, 202131 minEp. 210

209-THE BLESSING OF CRITICISM

I discuss: how constructive criticism can literally get us back into our right mind (of Love), why we all hate to be criticized and why that hate is bad, 13 biases all people have, a new operating system that can free us from our 13 biased brain, and I finish with great quotes from some great people regarding the value of criticism.

208-THIRTEEN PREJUDICES EVERYONE ON THE PLANET HAS

Everyone is prejudiced. In fact, science now shows us we all have 13 built-in biases. Social media skillfully uses our built-in biases to control us, and we don't even know it is happening. Also, the genius of the U.S. Constitution.

207-THE BLESSING OF ADVERSITY

How I got through 8 days of Hell. When Adversity starts talking, don't passively listen to it. Learn to fight it, and yes, to win victory over it. Learn how to make Adversity pay, and you'll begin seeing the blessing inherent in all Adversity.

205-QUITTING THE "RELIGION GAME"

I talk about the only things God even cares about, and it is not how you stack up against other people. I discuss: religious hypocrisy, a surefire way to tell if a supposedly religious person knows God very well, and what really does impress God.

Nov 21, 202034 minEp. 205

204-HAD A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH CHRISTIANITY?

I suck at keeping religious rules. How about you? I've got news for you, God is more tired of religious rules than you are. "Christian" Bible studies, hypocrites, modern day Pharisees, and how horrible Christianity is when not filled with the Spirit of Christ are all discussed.

Nov 14, 202036 minEp. 204

203-IS JESUS INTO SOCIAL JUSTICE?

Jesus says if you don't champion the poor and help them, you might not make the cut. I discuss: how helping the poor makes you "clean" before God, modern Pharisees and Scribes, when tithing is missing the point, and how failing to help the poor is failing to love God.

Nov 07, 202033 minEp. 203

202-PESSIMISTIC? SO YOU BELIEVE THE DEVIL IS STRONGER THAN GOD?

I discuss: what the Kingdom of God really is, exorcisms, why the majority thinks the devil is more powerful than God, testing God, what it looks like when you Consciously live in the Kingdom of God, righteousness, peace of mind, joy, who the "strong man" is, and how to overcome all adversity.

201-MAO ZEDONG THE "GOD" OF CHINA? (PART 2)

How does someone start out good and end so bad? I'll use the example of Mao Zedong who grew into a person who would not tolerate any other human being who didn't think 100% like he did. Where did this attitude come from? I'll hazard a few educated guesses.

Oct 24, 202029 minEp. 201

200-MAO ZEDONG, THE "GOD" OF CHINA?

It's astounding how evil some people's behavior is. You can write this off to ignorance and superstition, but demonic activity is involved. Listen as I talk about the life of Mao Zedong. He started out trying to do good, and he ended committing the greatest atrocity in human history, the "Great Leap Forward." I also discuss the Cultural Revolution and the sheer terror it unleashed on the people of China.

Oct 17, 202036 minEp. 200

199-THE CANCER PERSONALITY

Demons don't give people cancer physically, but they can tempt us to adopt attitudes which will make it much more likely we will develop cancer in our life. Also, Eddie Van Halen's legacy as a creative guitarist and problem solver.

Oct 10, 202035 minEp. 199

158-THE DISEASE OF "MORE"-ITIS

The problem is, nothing satisfies us for long. Listen as I discuss the disease of "More"-itis, what both Christ and Buddha had to say about this, and then as I discuss the satisfaction that never ends. American culture, politics, Thomas Merton, Nirvana, Heaven, Zen Buddhism compared to Christ's teaching, and the empty place inside all of us are all discussed.

198-THE ONLY ANSWER TO PRAYER YOU WILL EVER NEED

We all pray for a lot of different things, but no matter what you pray for, Jesus the Christ says there is one answer to prayer that will solve any situation you can ever get yourself into.

Oct 03, 202034 minEp. 198

197-STOP PRAYING LIKE A WIMP

Hardly anyone prays the way Jesus teaches us. No, God is not thin skinned. There is Power in Persistence. And Yes, God is asking us to bother Him.

196 THE "FATHER" REVOLUTION

Believe in a harsh, unforgiving, wrathful, violent, and stern God? Then you believe in a God who doesn't exist.

195-WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?

The words of Jesus Christ have never been more true than right now. They can heal our nation. We must either listen to him, or we will destroy ourselves.

Sep 12, 202028 minEp. 195

194-JESUS SAYS BIBLE SAVES NO ONE

First a shocking quote uttered by Jesus the Christ along with two historical examples that back up what Jesus said to some religious fat cats of his day. I discuss imperial China, the Europeans vs. China opium wars, drug dealing as the policy of a so-called "Christian" nation (Britain), and the one thing that leads to salvation that many religious people don't know. Let's dive in!

193-IS YOUR CHURCH HEALTHY?

I start with Jesus' two verse long summary of what life is meant to be, which was given to a crowd of religious people who wanted to kill him. I end with the warning signs of an unhealthy, disfunctional church. If you've had an uneasiness about your current church, listen as I discuss what happens to a Christian church when religious people control it.

192-GOD REFUSES TO FOLLOW RELIGION'S SCRIPT

Religion always works from a script. But God is the original Free Spirit who is not constrained by religion's scripts. No surprise that God's Son is a Free Spirit who regularly went off religion's scripts. Listen as I discuss two people who lead to Jesus going off religion's script. The first was a so-called immoral woman, the second a hopeless invalid, who meet Morality and Hope incarnated.

191-JESUS BREAKS ALL THE RULES, AGAIN

Jesus disregards silly religious rules. He constantly violates other people's religious rules, and He clearly has no regard for these rules. Jesus talks to the poster child for organized religion in Judea, and Jesus is not impressed with him. Listen as I discuss the type of "religion" God has in mind for the human race.

190-GOD TELLS A RELIGIOUS PERSON TO GET SAVED (NICODEMUS)

This is the ultimate cage fight: God vs. An Extremely Religious Person. Guess who wins? Nicodemus knew a lot, but he doesn't know God very well, and he completely missed what God was working to do in his country.
