Deuteronomy and Leviticus in the Christian tradition are often used as exclusionary scriptures found in Old Testament law. However, the New Testament reveals that through Jesus that there was clearly a baptism of an Ethiopian eunuch (transgender person of their time) and from this moment there was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This moment rang in Jesus's Ministry of inclusion rather than exclusion from the kingdom of God. Today on the show we talk about how the love from the Divine is like that of a mother, and does not exclude.

When I planted the church I was enthralled by the concept of sending my church into society to change it. What I didn't understand was this was considered part of the seven mountains mandate which has created some of the greatest chaos in our society today. Far too often we see in our own world views that we want everyone to act and think like we do. However one thing that is universal is that every human being on earth deserves to live and have fundamental rights to their own humanity. In this episode we will discuss how LGBTQ people of faith have seen human rights eroded. We will discuss how to move forward and keep the universal rights of all people in our hearts and minds.

Religious radio broadcasts began to grow in the 1940s and became a massive influence on religious discourse in America. In the mid-1930s there was a radio priest would regularly attack modern society over the airwaves. These types of public broadcasts have influenced many in faith communities to viciously attack people who disagree. Today I will share my story of coming out and the opposition I experienced as a pastor who came out as LGBTQ+.

A Hymn that played at my grandfather's funeral has always stuck with me. The lyrics helped me to understand the spiritual reality of a hope for life and love we leave when we die. Being in tune with the spiritual realities of death can help us to love those in front of us and forget those things that we oppose on this earth.  Todays show discusses the end of life, and could be distressing for some.

Today on the show we will explore priorities and how fresh life flows though us and to those we love.

Everyday is a mystery."  There have been over 5 trillion "days" in the universe and each one has had its own set of mystery. some days may seem boring while others bring waves of change. Today on the show we focus on today and how distress can make us want to look to the future for comfort. However in the long expanse of history human beings have only been able to exist in the day that is present. Join us on todays show to slow down.

"About three centuries after the crucifixion. no ancient School of philosophy, Materia Medica, or Scholastic theology ever taught or demonstrated the Divine Healing of absolute science” These words written by Mary Baker Eddy from the 1800's speak loudly today. The transgender woman and a former evangelical pastor I was told that I could not trust the worlds ways of healing but only to trust in the ways of the Lord. In this episode we discuss what healing looks like and how you know you are on the path of healing. Can spiritual healing and scientifically proven healing methods work together or should they always remain separate?

Daniel Dennett says; "Human reflection yields an ability to notice and evaluate patterns in our own behavior". In this episode we will explore what it means to reflect and see the wonderful ways in which we can move forward, by seeing what works in our life as opposed to what we thought would work.
