    Living Loveward Ch. 2 – Certainty Kills Relationships

    Most of us imagine that if we just had certainty, all of our relationships would run more smoothly. Like most love myths, it’s probably not true. In this video, I challenge hearers to ask ourselves if we really want what we say we want from our relationships.

    Zoe and Sophia: The Feminine Was There in the Beginning

    What if healing the fundamental division in our society enabled us to heal all others? Would you put in the work to be a part of the solution? In my recent meditations, study of Family Systems Theory, the way the brain tends to function, and working to practice non-anxious presence, I have come to see…

    So Help Me Dog

    A little more than two weeks ago, our family dog of 15 years, Journey, whose painting is on the above video, died. Since that time, our family has shed our fair share of tears. Yes, some of them have been tears of sadness. But most of them have been tears of joy that we were…

    Expressing the Invisible God

    I’ll never forget what my instructor said to the class on my first day of military tech school for satellite communications. “In order to do this job well, you have to be able to see the invisible.” He went on to introduce us to the world of frequencies and throughout the course explain the nature…

    Strong Too Long

    …Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but God said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,…

    Transformed by Thank You

    The Spirit of Aloha: A Silva Linings Conversation

    We met under the most auspicious of circumstances when, unbeknownst to us, an earthquake was on the horizon and threat of a tsunami was looming. But, God saw it coming before any of the world’s most sensitive instruments and prepared us to meet just about 8 hours prior to the earthquake in Chile and subsequent…

    Strength Through Being a Non-Anxious Presence (#BoulderStrong)

    In the wake of tragedies that expose our vulnerabilities and limitations, as what we witnessed here in Boulder after the shooting at King Soopers, we often find ourselves looking back and wishing we were stronger. With this message, we explore transforming our pain and past weaknesses through the decision to consciously become a non-anxious presence.…

  • The DMX Files

    The DMX Files

    As I took off the Silence spoke to me and I truly listened.  It was like Elihu speaking to Job  about God’s goodness and majesty in Job 36 and God breaking it down in Job 38-41.  I had nothing to add.   When it was all said and done, I had to admit as Job did in…

    “I” Does Not Exist – The Power and Peril of Family Systems (Boulder, CO)

    When One Suffers, We All Suffer I have been trying to do soul surgery on myself ever since learning about the shooting at the King Soopers in Boulder, CO where I have shopped countless times and sometimes drop my daughter off for her gymnastics carpool. I am doing this because in my heart of hearts,…
