Dr. Gary Bell's Absurd Psychology

The days of retirement, benefits and a job you will work your whole life are gone. Employer loyalty is a thing of the past. No employer wants to pay retirement and benefits until someone dies. Our economy is global and moving at the speed of light. Dr. Wayne McAfee will take on the hard questions of how a business and employee can survive and thrive. From the Executive on down through all employees of a business, Dr. McAfee and I will explore the dynamics and motivations of any employer. We spend more hours at work than with our own families. To have passion for what one does to survive is critical. Sit back, take notes and get ready for some new tools to arm you for your future.

A lively and adventurous discussion with Pastor Chuck Booher of Crossroads Christian Church and author of Great and Mighty Things about the parallels psychology and faith share in helping people become whole. Crossroads is one of the fastest growing churches in the world. It is considered a mega-church. No one area of life has all of the answers. Our life is a journey. Some comes from faith in ourselves, faith in God, and faith in each other. To have peace, one must fight to maintain it. It calls for saying No to the things in life that hurt us. Pastor Chuck and I have a shared goal to give you new tools and new ideas from both Religion and Psychology that can give your life more purpose, passion and peace. Grab your note pad, sit back and get ready to have some revelations.

From the mania of the honeymoon phase to the depths of loneliness and despair, I will teach you how to be married in today's world.

What the heck, it is not actual therapy. I will discuss all the elements that make marriage work from communication, trust, love, sex, finances, love languages, patterns, listening and respect.
