Sometimes, our opinions can blind us. There was a time, when I was very angry with the Christian church, and very judgmental of most Christians, and when I had a list of objections to Christianity a mile long. But even when I was there, God still reached out to call me home. I spent 10 years trying to get home to that God, but not knowing the way. In this episode today, I want to talk about how,…
I'm recording this episode, and putting it out, on Christmas Eve, because I really felt compelled to do so. Today I needed to spend a few minutes talking about the holidays, and how the expectations the media puts on us don't necessarily reflect reality, and how that can sometimes lead to depression when our lives don't live up to them. The post BYC #62 – Let’s Talk About the Holidays appeared…
It’s been five years since Pam and I first moved to Tampa, Florida, so I asked her if she’d come on the show with me to talk about living here. We discuss both the pros and cons of living in Tampa, if Tampa is the best part of the state, and then we compare Florida with both California and Hawaii. Then my "hater" friend John had to come on the show to share his hysterical point of view on why…
Last episode, I brought on a couple of my friends, April Hunter and Wade Williams, and we started a conversation around the seven deadly sins. Today is part two, and we’ll finish the conversation by covering some big ones… greed, lust, and pride. But wait, there’s more! After relistening to it, I found myself going into a deep dive on certain aspects of lust that I wanted to try and understand…
Today I’m gonna bring you a fun conversation around the Seven Deadly Sins… and how learning to avoid them can make your life better. In order to do this, I’m bringing on two guests, April Hunter and Wade Williams. (April, you might remember from Episode 51 about Online Dating.) We don't claim to have all the answers. The goal with today’s show is just to make you think, because I think the danger…
Today I'm gonna talk about my journey into church, and how I went from so angry with the church, to really feeling compelled to go. I’ll share the nervousness of that first time, and how it feels now, four months in. I’ll also discuss some questions I’ve had and challenges I’ve faced, as well as what I learned from them. I realize “church” can be a very polarizing topic, but I think this podcast…
We constantly hear about the importance of watching what we put into our body, but nobody ever talks about the importance of guarding what we consume with our minds. Today, we’re going to talk on that. We’ll discuss the science of how our thoughts and behavior can be molded, without our conscious awareness. We’ll tell a story about our major media companies doing just that. And, we’ll talk about…
After the divisiveness of the last election, I wanted to look into the science and psychology of how that happens, in hopes that some understanding could better help me to “break the spell” of the negativity. What I didn’t expect to find, was that, MOST of the time, when it comes to our opinions on things like politics… we’re not really all that knowledgeable about the things we believe. We’re all…
Language is so useful to society, that the negative side of it is often totally ignored… and that’s that simple words can really shape our perception, and the framework of our language, can really cage our minds. Today, we’ll discuss the many ways that words and language can do that, while sharing a ton of examples and scientific studies. We’ll also talk priming, hypnosis power words,…
This episode is more of a thought experiment: It began at a meetup group, when I mentioned how weird it was that we have these ancient pyramids, similar in age, construction, and use, all over the world, but from a time when the world was not connected at all. A reply, with a possible link between the ancient pyramids and the Tower of Babel, led me on a journey, questioning the possibility of that…
