Brief Episode Summary:

 Early every morning I affirm that I’m an Agent of LOVE. So, when do I LOVE? When it’s convenient? When the opportunity presents itself? When I think about it? Hit and miss? It all comes down to what I entertain in my heart and mind. Whatever we focus on gets larger, whether positive or negative. LOVE and LIGHT has a prominent role it wants to play in each of our lives and in the lives of those who cross our path. For you, the light is about to turn on! #LOVE #emotions #decisions #heart #LIGHT #fathers #despair #emptiness #eyesthatsee #earsthathear #heartthatunderstands #beingpresent #visualizing #Divine #RoleofLOVE #LOVELANGUAGE #confidence #beingauthentic #relationships #impostersyndrome #control  

Key Topics:

• Despite the pain we may have experienced from our parent/parents or others on multiple levels as we were growing up, how can we position ourself going forward so in hindsight, they become teaching moments?  
• Why is it important to focus on the strengths of others versus their shortcomings and how does one go about changing that negative momentum to a positive one?
• How does one develop eyes that see, ears that hear and a heart that understands?
• TOUCH is one extremely powerful LOVE LANGUAGE but it's not always nor should it always be physical! What's an effective option?
• How does the Role of LOVE help one to become more authentic regarding relationships?
• The only LOVE we're in control of is the LOVE we give away. We have no control over the LOVE we receive. How do we keep our LOVE TANK from getting overly depleted and always, sufficiently cared for?

Brief Episode Summary: 

I begin reading my guest’s book, “Toxic Family, transforming childhood trauma into adult freedom.” Suddenly, I become aware that my heart rate has accelerated as I begin to reflect on my own dysfunctional, abusive upbringing and the parts of me that need healing. Susan promised that this would be the reader’s experience...that I would not be the same person from the beginning of the book as I am at the end. She didn’t disappoint me!

Key Topics:

• With a past rooted in dysfunction, abuse, negativity and fear, and with no one she could trust and confide in, what empowered Susan to get to the next day?  
• Like you, I would have done anything to win the approval of my dad. How were you eventually able to free yourself from the traumas that had consumed you?
• Despite the brutal inner messaging you were subjected to from an early age, over time, you would learn to love and respect that frightened, poor lost, little girl who had been battered, discovering your road of transformation and find true happiness, internal contentment and love. How were you able to turn the corner from the incessant emotional nuclear fallout?  
• With all the challenges and heartaches Susan experienced during her turbulent formative years, she had the choice of adopting an attitude of "oh woe is me" or how they could be used to become victorious teaching moments, used to her advantage. Discover the road Susan took.
• Discover how one becomes adept at getting what their worth and not simply making a lot of money for others. Lack of self-worth and self-sabotaging traits have a lot to do with it. 
• Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy. - Robert Tew. How does one know when they've reached the end of a relationship and not just in a marriage?
• Discover when Susan feels most free.

Brief Episode Summary:

When my guest’s book arrived in the mail, it being the primary research tool I’d be using to develop this podcast interview, one extremely important matter became obvious to me, and it was going to demand that both of us call upon all the grace, open-mindedness, courage and dignity we could muster, having no desire to change the truths the other holds so dear! I thought the underlying theme of the episode was going to focus on my guest’s experience with and healing from sexual trauma, not how GOD views same sex relationships, but that’s okay. At the core is the question, is GOD who HE says HE is as interpreted by most conservative theologians, or can there be a different interpretation when historical language and culture of days gone by are considered? Whatever one decides, this is clear…the DIVINE can do nothing but love with an everlasting love, all of creation!

Key Topics:

•  How could a loving GOD allow a nine year old to be raped by a relative and how does the child eventually recover and get over their anger towards a GOD who allowed it to happen?
• Is eternal fellowship with the Divine an act of Grace by Faith or does one's works play a role?
• Years ago, my wife Fran and I were invited by a gay man friend of ours to attend a church service years ago. The Pastor, a gay man, asked for a show of raised hands if you were gay and wished they could make it otherwise. A sea of hands went up. What should we say to them?
• When it comes to scriptural interpretation, what are we afraid of? Is GOD who HE says HE is or is HE who we say HE is?
• When a creative piece is crafted by one who is out of the religious mainstream, does that alone make it undesirable in the heart of the Divine?  
• The mission of all things spiritual can be summed up in 1 word...LOVE!
• Since coming out into the light, Ron, by GOD's Grace, has made a significant positive impact on the lives of many! Discover what his primary goal was in writing his book, Is GOD Who He Says He Is?

Brief Episode Summary:
Very early on in his book “When Do You Feel Free,
VOICES ACROSS AMERICA”, this week’s podcast guest
Ryland Hormel boldly asserts that “No One Is Free Until
Everyone Is Free!” I couldn’t agree more! Yet, he doesn’t
view freedom as something abstract or as a moral absolute
but rather, as a lived experience in time, something felt,
something everyone can experience! I invite you my dear
listeners to ask that question of yourself, letting it germinate
before answering…when do you feel free?

Key Topics:

• What makes you feel free? That question, when intentionally and quietly reflected on, may open your heart to an experience of a lifetime! Ryland will be your guide on this  adventure. 
• "True freedom is a state of mind. Therefore, I feel the freest when I choose to feel free" said Allyn Tuchs, a contributor to Ryland's book. What was Allyn wanting to convey to the reader?  
• If the question, when do you feel free, were posed to the Divine's 4-legged angels, how would they answer and what might we learn?
• Readers of Ryland's book will discover important aspects of themselves embedded within the work. Knowing them will make all the difference in the world! 
• Why is it so important to exercise the courage to question...everything? 
• Why does true independence and adventure arouse feelings of fear and what's the antidote?

Brief Episode Summary:

I’m aging myself when I confess that one of my favorite television shows that I watched as a child, featured Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and of course Roy’s famous horse, Trigger. On that note, each of us has our own Trigger or Triggers and not the 4-legged angel type, that oftentimes are born out of various traumas, our trauma responses, including those from sexual assault, that we can choose to entertain, or not, when we receive its invitation. Thankfully, where it exists, there’s also trauma growth and of course, delicious life-changing and healing gluten-free slices, stories forged from our guest Charissa Brim and her personal life story.

• We love to be loved but we hate to love ourselves. Charissa offers a different approach to experiencing self-love.
• Being misunderstood is what Charissa hates the most. Whose responsibility is it to be properly understood? Where can one go to begin equipping themself to disempower the control hate through misunderstanding has over them?
• What were some of the experiences Charissa had that taught her how to accept saying no to no?
• EMOTIONS! We can attempt to resist them and fight a losing battle or accept and overcome them. Discover Charissa's four strategies for making progress...her Four Loco Tips.
• Discover some of Charissa's favorite "I wish someone would've told me" desires as she reflects back.

Brief Episode Summary:

In the introduction to the book MACH2, it says when it comes to motivation, the rebels get it done. They are highly motivated to achieve, and they don’t mind causing a ruckus to do so, perfectly portraying the younger version of me. After all, they are winners. Or are they? How can it be true that I was a winner if I was always driven to prove that I was? Regarding what I was yet to discover in MACH2 and the powerful impact it was going to have on my life going forward, I was hooked! If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll be also!

Brief Episode Summary: 

Let’s be honest! Fear Sells…Though “We Have Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself” as expressed by former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. With it, many populations can be moved to dutifully carry out its bidding, resulting in the emotional imprisonment of its victims, exacting a sentence which can span a lifetime. The successful selling of “the great lie”, that victims of sexual abuse stand to lose more, perhaps everything, by bringing their sexual traumas into the light, is the singularly most potent weapon sexual predators possess! It’s the breaking of the silence, they fear the most!  #fearsells #darkness #lie #emotionalimprisonment #victims #sentence #greatlie #sexualabuse #sexualtraumas #predators #silence #ECHOES #preservation #GraceofGod #survivors #healing #pain #internaldestruction #womensurvivors #psychologicalimplications #physical #emotionalabuse #NEVERAGAIN #NOMORE #isolation #sexualfunctioning #predator #victim #sexualassault #purpose #lifepurpose #wholeman 

Key Topics:

• As the contributors to Robert Maxwell's book ECHOES recounted the real life sexual abuse they encountered, they could have "cleaned it up" OR tell it like it was (and still is). The contributors are "real" and so are their accounts! 
• Women survivors of sexual abuse are more likely to share their pain with support groups, enhancing the path to healing while males internalize their pain, becoming the perpetrators of their own internal destruction. Why is this?
• How pervasive is sexual abuse between young men and boys and a loving mother figure who is alternately their lover. What is the long term psychological implication for these young men and boys?
• What are some of the impacts of childhood physical and emotional abuse on boys and why is it that women tend to dominate the messaging? 
• The phrase “NEVER AGAIN” when associated with the holocaust means just that…NEVER AGAIN regarding the atrocities that were committed against the Jewish people in WW2. One of the contributors to the book “ECHOES” has his own way of stating never again as he recounts what he experienced…”NO MORE!” What’s his story?  
• Sexual trauma doesn’t occur in isolation. It has a significant influence on the sexual functioning of many, whether predator or victim and it can carry on for years. What are some of the ways it affects those who were touched by sexual assault 
• Everyone on the planet should have a purpose…their life purpose. Notwithstanding that everyone’s purpose is unique, in one area of crucial importance, all men should aspire to living the purpose of the whole man!

Brief Episode Summary:

For years I had an estranged relationship with my mother.
As to why that was, is not nearly as important as the source
of my and her eventual healings and how I wish she were
still with me so that I would be able to share it with her in
the flesh. I am so grateful to her that a deep love for the
Divine’s 4-legged angels that coursed through her veins, also
defines my DNA and the best version of me! Thank you,
mom. I’m so blessed to be your son! I love you!
#SavingGigy #trust #angels #trusting #animalsanctuary #trusting #adoptions #moment #present #happiness #heart

Key Topics:

• When things don't go as we planned or as we think they should, if we allow it, what role can faith play?
• Trust is central to a healthy relationship, as is forgiveness!  
• Animals can and will teach us much about ourself. What did Gigy teach Author ILuta about herself?
• What can our 4-legged angels teach us about genuine happiness and the importance of living in the present?
• How healing can a love letter be, whether we ever see its intended recipient again, or not?
• What's the moral of this emotional roller coaster? Is life fair?
