We all have a choice in life: plant positive or plant negative. Listen to Josh talk about a time, or two, in his life where he perceived something negative and how it affected him. And listen as he explains how our actions will have far-reaching consequences that we may never know, consequences that could greatly alter another person’s life. Our perception will also alter our view of our world and could lead us astray with assumptions and made-up intentions. What do you wish to plant in life?

Do you pray? Is it real? Does it work?

If you have ever wondered about prayer, or if you are interested in hearing more about prayer, then listen as Josh explains a brief introduction to ‘what prayer is,’ ‘who prays,’ ‘how popular prayer is,’ ‘studies,’ and he gives you a personal experience with prayer—also known as ‘personal proof.’ You will also hear some other great wisdom, as usual, in this episode.

(Breaking the third-person) My first book is available NOW! It is a powerful book about the five traits each of us possess and have control over (if we so choose) to help shape and mold our destiny.

In this episode, Josh talks about his book Destiny: Life or Death, Choose Your Destiny, while reading some excerpts from this book, and giving a good word that where we are right now in life is not our final place, we can have more, we are destined for more, if we choose.

What feelings, emotions, truth, or character are we exposing to the world on Social Media? Is it one we will be proud of, that we can stand firm on? Is it helping the situation? Is it even helping us grow in a positive and understanding way?

In this episode, Josh talks about two posts he saw on Social Media during this crazy year that was 2020. He breaks them down from the negative and emotion-controlled expose that they were, and shows the human nature we all fight, and finds inspiration that everyone should be able to agree with and rally behind.

Change the negative to a positive. Find the hope in the ocean of emotion. Uncover a hidden truth.

And hear Common Sense.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

There is SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION prepared that I just wanted to let you know some of those topics that you can hear in future episodes!

One can hardly speak of correcting oneself or the future without at least learning a little something from the past.

There will be history lessons, philosophical thoughts, stories, and information about the two most popular “isms”. Ever question how our government is supposed to work? I discuss that! Like art and entertainment? So do I. I also…well, you must listen to this teaser episode to learn more and to hear any wisdom hidden within it.

Are we truly living a life of love, of servitude, of God’s commands? Are we choosing to serve another or our own selfish desires and fears and vices; are we choosing to sacrifice for another? Our fear does not demand submission from others. Our desires do not demand sacrifice and suffering from others. Our fear, desires, and life, if lived correctly, should be sacrificed for love; not suffering on our part, but understanding of another’s liberty and free will to choose for themselves. And there is no greater love than John 3:16.

In this special Christmas episode, Josh discusses a life-changing positive he learned in this chaotic, uncertain and tumultuous time of 2020.

In the digital age we are always on the go and we feel the need to always be moving, but what if there is an important and vital aspect of life that we are ignoring—something life-altering that could have negative effects on our eternal life if not understood?

Listen to this hidden truth and find the positive that we can, and should, incorporate into our lives.

And have a very Merry Christmas!!!
