Even Celebrities Deserve Christian Compassion
We seem to only reserve charity in speech to those in our direct circle or community... well when we are trying to be charitable. Here's some thoughts about including everyone--even celebrities--in our circle and not gossip/detract about them.

When God Takes Over Technology on Sundays (and other days)
I usually think God only controls things like the weather or relationships or jobs or health... when it came to technology stuff, I was pretty surprised at the stuff He has done with me.

The Effect You Can Make Preventing Suicide

Saying No without Saying No (under 5 min)
What I do to say no that doesn't have to be a direct, "No." I know other people may struggle with this. So, here's my thoughts.

"Yes" Does Not Mean "I do" (Getting Engaged)
Just a reminder that the engagement process is still a discernment process as to if you should marry your fiancé. Don't allow there to be too much external pressure to be locked in. I was engaged and I know it was not God's will for us to be married. Remember: It's a lot easier to end an engagement than a marriage.

Gossiping in the Form of a Prayer Request
There are times we share a little too much when we ask for prayer. This is a reminder to guard your tongue to protect other people's reputation.

Raising Awareness through My Child Abuse Story
As my book, Joyous Hell | A Life of Finding Joy in Suffering, is approaching completion, I felt called to share a bit of the story as it is Child Abuse Awareness month. I know God has given me this cross so as to help others who have been carrying their own form of it. After rewatching the recording, there are little comments I wished I had made. I think I will just create other videos. My vulnerability has opened many spaces for others to step into. As I share my story in person, countless people share their own and many follow it with, “I’ve never told anyone before.” Following these conversations, I have led many wounded souls to a place of healing through forgiveness.

Finding Inner Wounds & Healing the Shame w/ Dann Aungst
We all need to recognize our inner wounds, forgive, be healed of the shame we've been carrying, and be drowned in God's Love. This beautiful exercise is for addiction, but the power of it can be applied to any life. It brought me to tears.
This clip was taken from the full length conversation I had with Dann Aungst the Founder of Road to Purity.

Ep. 023 | Is a Lie Ok If Everyone Says It Is? I Thought It Was.
To tell the truth or not to tell the truth...that is the question. This episode I share times in my life where I flat out lied to people, because everyone said I should. In 2019, I was convicted of how wrong it had been and I have worked to changes my ways.

Overcoming Sexual Addiction w/ Dann Aungst Founder of Road to Purity - Inner Healing
This was a very powerful interview that I'm so happy I can share with my viewers. Part of my story is added within this long form discussion.Dann Aungst is the founder of Road to Purity, an organization helping those who struggle with sexual addiction. It digs deep into the lives of the addicts to attack the root of the issue--not just cut off the dead parts due to the sins. Road to Purity has resources and programs for people struggling with the addiction. There is material for churches to form small groups. Also, it was very important to Dann for priests to also have material for the confessional, because that is commonly where the issue is first shared. (see link below)We also talk about the spiritual warfare that is also found within this addiction, as in most addictions.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. It was very beautiful and I found it profound, as well!Website:https://roadtopurity.com/"When Priests are Prepared to Help Their Flock, Parishioners Find Freedom"https://roadtopurity.com/clergy/Podcast:https://roadtopurity.com/podcast/Dann's Book:http://road-to-purity-store.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/copy-of-40-days-to-freedom-winning-the-battle-for-sexual-purity-280pgs-by-dann-aungstPlease Like!Please Share!Please Subscribe!

Ep. 022 | Flame of Love Devotion with Deacon Norm Alexander Coordinator for South Central USA
Have you heard of the Flame of Love? Yes or No? Please join me in this long form conversation with Deacon Norm Alexander who is the coordinator for the South Central region in the United States."The effect of devotion to the Flame of Love is to make our parishes, families, and lives so full of Jesus by the power of grace, that Satan’s influence on our families and surrounding communities is broken. Once freed from the blinding influence of Satan, our families and communities are much more open the gospel and the way of salvation. Thus we ask our Blessed Mother to: 'Spread the effect of grace of your Flame of Love over all of humanity.'" - https://flameoflove.us/the-effects-of-the-flame-of-love/https://flameoflove.us/
