Taylor Bowman had enough. The 21 year old Manitoba woman alleged that Jacob Hoggard, lead singer of Hedley, grabbed her outside a bar. She also heard several stories about in appropriate behaviour involving not only Hoggard, and but other members of the band.
Mid-February, the #outHedley2k18. Since then more have come forward. And more. And more.

Including my guest today.

That is the voice of Katie Summers. She is from #AmpMorningswithKatieandEd in Calgary 90.3. Last week, she shared her own experience with Jacob Hoggard. While there has been support, there has been criticism. By the way, I’m being diplomatic.

Stories like this are hard to hear. It’s uncomfortable. Perhaps we would rather have a smile and a bit of humour with our breakfast. But we need to talk about it.

You can hear Katie on #AmpMorningswithKatieandEd on 90.3 FM.

Thoughts and Prayers.

It is a term we have heard countless times.

You may have heard as you are sharing some deep struggles.

You have heard them as you reach for the stars or your goals.

You have heard them when another shooting, like the one last week, happens in the States.

“Thoughts and Prayers”.

It has also led to many responses like this.

“Thoughts and Prayers”.

These conversations are the same conversations we have had over and over again.

Not only the conversation about guns. But the conversation around prayer.

Since the shooting in Parkland, Florida happened a little over a week ago,I’ve felt compelled to dig a little deeper. Not that the conversation is bad, it’s important. But there are things I feel we can go deeper into.

I think there is a difficult minefield to go over. There are some questions that have to be asked. Maybe we like the answer. Maybe we don’t.

So I’m starting a series of deeper conversations on the themes and outcomes of these discussions.

And one of them is prayer.

What is it
What it’s not?
Does it work? And when we say work, what do we mean?


Our guest today is Brad Jersak.


Our guest today is Brad Jersak.

Brad Jersak is an author and teacher based in Abbotsford, BC, where he serves as ordained reader and monastery preacher at All Saints of North America Monastery. He also occasionally teaches at Fresh Wind Christian Fellowship. Through his books and seminars, Brad shares the good news that God is Love, perfectly revealed in Jesus Christ. He teaches others how to encounter God through the practice of ”listening prayer,” through which God’s love heals wounded hearts and empowers us to heal this broken world.
Brad Jersak’s foundational book, Can You Hear Me? Tuning in to the God who speaks trains readers in the ways of “Listening Prayer.” This book provides biblical teaching and 33 practical exercises for discerning God’s voice.

He has a new Book A more Christlike God.
Now, before we go on here. I want to make something clear. I understand that many of you are not comfortable with the idea of prayer. I respect that. I thank you for that. If this is not for you, I respect you not wanting to listen to this.

Topics we cover include;

-The damage the term Thoughts and Prayers has done.
-Our own personal, and perhaps unhealthy approach's to prayer.
-Jesus and prayer
-What specifically to pray for.

February is Love Month.

Now some of you have the amazing and natural ability to express love. It comes naturally to you. They write songs, poems, and reflections. Some of you would like to be better at it. Not only with their partner. But with their family. Their friends. You want to say how much someone significant mans to you, but you can’t find the words. And maybe some, like me, have missed the opportunity to say that important thing. But, it was too late.

Or, some maybe have been in a relationship a really long time. Through time, circumstances, and real life, that sparky feeling of love has gone. It’s not that you don’t LOVE them, you don’t know HOW to express it.

Today, we have the opportunity to Learn to Fall In Love All Over Again

Well, today we have an opportunity to learn something different. It’s called Love Journaling.

Our guest today is my friend Sarah Golby. On her own profile, Blogger, speaker, and unabashed journal nerd. My mission is to be the adult 5yo me would be proud of.

Topics we cover include;

Tell us how you got into the idea of love journaling?

Is there a difference between journaling and love journaling?

How has this improved your relationship?

What about the single folk like me out there? How can it help?

How about those getting out of a tough relationship?

For families and children.

Success stories.

The webinars.

I'm not talking about the Colten Bushie trial.

I explain why.

Online Debate.

It’s something we all have seen.

We see it everywhere. Facebook. Twitter. News Agencies. Radio Stations. Magazines.

There are things that get us angry. There are people that poke the bear and stir the pot.

Sometimes it connects us. Friends make friends.

However,sometimes it divides us.

The intention of intelligent discussion has led to insults. Friends have ended Friends. Family members have cut off family members because of opinions. There have been death threats, stalking and flat out insults.

There seems to be a rise in anger and division. Some are willing to dig in. Some have backed off.

Joining us to help us with that is Martin Godwyn.

Martin received his Ph.D. from UBC in 2005 having acquired his M.Phil. from Cambridge University and a BA (Hons.) from Southampton University. His main philosophical interests lie in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, epistemology, and the philosophy of Wittgenstein. He has taught at a number of post-secondary institutions in the Vancouver area including UBC, SFU, Kwantlen University, and BCIT.
When not engaging in philosophical pursuits he is often to be found hiking/snow-shoeing the trails, or climbing the mountains, of Western Canada.

Topics we cover include;
-Using Facts
-Emotions
-Listening
-Skill and Persuasion.
-Good moderation..

We also look at some of the discussions we have had on my Facebook page and see where things went right and things need to improve.
