Face2Face with David PeckEpisode 461 Ian Toews - Ageless GardensIan Toews and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new TV series Ageless Gardens, citizen science and the environment, hope, fertility, nature and art, eating locally and why you can always find energy in the soil. Trailer Synopsis: Ageless Gardens is a visual celebration of gardens – and the gardeners behind them. Viewers have commented that even just watching the series is therapeutic and gives the viewer the same experience of tranquility and the natural rhythm of life as gardening itself does.

There is a bigger price to pay for living a lie. - Cornell West Sometimes I'm not sure what I was thinking about when I started this podcast. Podcasts about hosted by talkers, right? I'm a quiet, more reserved person by nature. I love to read and write, but generally speaking, I don't have a lot to say.

Something about the shift in season, summer turning to fall and kids back in school, inspires an air of possibility for new habits and making change in your life. In this back-to-school episode I’m diving into 3 metaphors that can help us approach and instigate changes in our lives. 1.

I’m constantly reading, writing, listening, digesting and assimilating things I’m interested in learning. To be engaged with ideas this way is a big part of what makes me feel alive. I have a strong tendency and bias to depend on outside information and inputs, constantly seeking more knowledge to inform my choices. Often this is beneficial. Research can help us make better purchases, for example. Whether that’s the food we eat, the clothes we wear, or the car we buy. But I lean very hea...2019-08-2241 min
Blackhawks BreakawayEp. 157: Why Jonathan Toews is a Top-20 center and answering your mailbag questionsOn the latest Blackhawks Talk Podcast, Pat Boyle, Charlie Roumeliotis and Slavko Bekovic offer their thoughts on Jonathan Toews being left off NHL Network's Top-20 center rankings and make their case for why he should be on the list.

Perhaps nothing stings as much as the disappointments we face in our long-term romantic relationships, especially marriage. Unfortunately our popular culture sets us up for these disappointments and let-downs with happily ever after and other insanity like Tom Cruise’s classic line, “you complete me”, from the movie Jerry McGuire. As if. I’ve dealt with my share of disappointment in my eighteen year marriage. Both giving and receiving. And more than that, I’ve been completely undone and stripped bare, lear...2019-08-0653 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsFind your FrequencyThis spring I attended a meditation retreat hosted and taught by Dr. Joe Dispenza. A fan of his work, it was amazing to experience, in person, the principles of his teaching and research. One of the thing Dispenza teaches is a modern take on chakras, the ancient Indian understanding of energy in the body. My introduction to chakras was through yoga but more recently I’ve been learning about these ideas from Dispenza, specifically in his book Becoming Supernatural, and also at the meditation retreat I attended. I’m no expert, but the seven...2019-07-1649 min

We have a shared history of being involved in contemporary Christian music, or CCM for short. In this interview Drew and I sit down in his kitchen to talk about music and being a musician. We talk about how writing, playing, performing and producing honest music tells the story of our lives and gives expression to shared experiences. Including the experience of a disillusioned and deconstructed Christian faith. What do we do when we no longer experience God the wa...2019-06-2852 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsA Meditation: Fools Rush InFor my previous episode Elvis the Theologian, I recorded my own piano playing as part of the background musical track. A first for the B-RAD Podcast. Today is another first. In this short episode I offer a meditation on Divine Love paired with that piano recording. Inspired by the imagery of the wedding scene from Crazy Rich Asians and the Elvis song Can’t Help Falling in Love, I invite you into this experience of Divine love and awareness; giving ourselves over to the love already rushing, already flowing constantly in our direction. 2019-06-0711 min

Joe Dispenza This is the second half of my two-part interview with personal friend, Enneagram Coach and Facilitator Livingston Lacroix. Listen to Part 1 here. We continue our discussion of the Enneagram and walk through the needs, focus, issues, and fears of types 5 through 9. Join me as we are challenged, regardless of our Enneagram number, to live radically (to the root) within and beyond the limits of our “type”.

B-RAD with Brad ToewsThe Enneagram with Liv Lacroix – Part 1Learning about the Enneagram was a light-bulb moment, or rather many moments for me, in my self-discovery and becoming. The Enneagram, like no other personality assessment I know, challenges a person to face “their stuff”. It’s a brutally honest lens, or mirror really, that allows a person to understand their core needs and fears and how that drives one’s behaviour. It’s not all bad news however, the Enneagram also provides a hopeful pathway, marking the trail to growth and transformation for your particular “type”. Want to know how to be a better partner and pa...2019-04-1540 min

B-RAD with Brad ToewsI am Not SorryWith a world population on the cusp of eight billion people (unbelievable!), I sometimes wonder if my single life matters. One person out of eight billion hardly seems significant. Does my presence matter? Do I deserve to exist? I live in Canada, the 14th least densely populated country on earth. We have lots of land and few people. We probably have room for some of those billions, as long as they don’t mind all the rocks and trees and trees and rocks and water… (cue Arrogant Worms song here.) In addit...2019-03-2614 min

Always wanting to make a difference in people’s lives, from the time she started coaching baseball as a teenager, Laura’s leadership and communication skills helped her succeed throughout her career and in her consulting work serving the automotive industry.

B-RAD with Brad ToewsHere, but not HereTime can be a considerable source of stress for us in many ways. I grew up with an antique clock in my home that was wound up, by hand, once a week to keep it going. Time literally had a sound, a tick-tock, one second after another. Often it feels like time is weighing us down. It’s the persistent, subconscious tick-tock soundtrack of our lives. Time is an enemy or an adversary. It’s a limited quantity. We work against its constant decline to get things done, in our days, in our weeks, in our...2019-03-0416 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsAddiction to ApprovalI have an addiction. I'm addicted to approval. I’ve never attended an AA meeting, or had a close friendship with someone in those circles, but my guess is that at the genesis of addiction you find a desire. Without desire, none of us would do anything. It's easy to judge what we see and say “if I could just stop doing this (fill in the blank with the activity or behaviour) then I would conquer this addiction". But simply addressing the behaviour is missing the point. I've been addicted to appr...2019-02-1913 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsOriginality is OverratedThere's a lot of pressure in our culture to be original. And the self-actualization subculture isn't any better. It's probably worse. Do you have to be an original? What if being original is overrated? In the music world artists regularly cover other people's work. Musicians like Jamie Cullum prove that a good cover is a valuable art form, in and of itself. What many other great artists and individuals know is that filtering another person's ideas (their art, music, parenting or leadership style, etc.) through your own lens can be a profound experience...2019-01-1510 min

How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “what the hell is water?” This simple story challenges us to ask, at the very least, what are we really swimming in?

B-RAD with Brad ToewsGoodness MeThe phrase "good enough", which is so ubiquitious in our culture, implies that there is something better than good. Perfection, something without flaws, something pristine and ideal, is better than good. Isn't it? In the beginning creation was declared good. Tov is the original Hebrew word which we translate as "good" in English. But Tov is so much more than just good. It's a word that celebrates life in all its diversity - birth, death, re-birth, seasons, warmth, cold, the messiness and sexiness of it all. In contrast, the Greeks gave us the...2018-11-1619 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsI am HumanLabels aren't bad, they're necessary for making our way through the external world. Imagine navigating city streets or an airport terminal with no labels. Labels are obviously good. Labels are also a necessary part of our internal framework and personal structure. They help us identify where we're from (Toronto, Canada) and who we are (man, husband, dad, friend). But we all know from experience that labelling isn't all good and isn't always helpful. A label reaches the end of its usefulness in our lives when it reinforces, or binds us to something that...2018-11-0923 min

B-RAD with Brad ToewsSmart WaterWater covers 71% of the earth's surface. The average adult body is 60% water. A human can survive for weeks without food, but she'll live mere days without water. Water has no nutrition, per se but we require it, above almost all things, to live. We're not exactly sure how water arrived on the planet but scientists propose it may have arrived as ice in meteors, which means that "the same liquid we drink and that fills the oceans may be millions of years older than the solar system itself".

How do we be a part of the progress of the natural world in healthy, sustainable, and spiritual ways? One of the answers to those questions was the creation of biodynamic farming.

B-RAD with Brad ToewsHome BodyHome - What does it mean? Where is it? There is a sense of safety and security attached to the idea of home. The dictionary definition of the word homebody is a person who likes to stay home, especially one who is perceived as unadventurous. I'd like to challenge that idea. I think a true home body - someone at home in their body - is definitely adventurous. In fact, the biggest adventure you embark on, might just be the adventure of "finding home".

B-RAD with Brad ToewsChew on ThisChewing is an integral part of our experience with food. How we chew has biological and psychological affects on our whole body. After watching the video (link on my episode blog post) by Emily Rosen on the Psychobiology of Chewing I came away with four takeaways: We're designed to chew and crunch. We eat food too fast. When we don't chew properly we put extra stress on our digestive system. Chewing sets in motion a rhythm that affects our entire body. But as much as I'm keenly interested in nutrition and healthy eating, which is...2018-08-0322 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsWhose Line is it AnywayWe have all been given a script in life. We are born into a culture, a community, a family that follows certain rules and norms. This script forms and informs how we live. It's how we make our way in the world as humans. This is how we survive and learn, by starting with what the past teaches us, reading our lines and playing our part. But at some point in our development we decide for ourself. Am I going to keep living my life from this script? What values are important to...2018-07-2521 min

In this podcast I interview someone just like that. Someone with a great idea to revolutionize the charitable giving landscape.

We value comfort and convenience. We idolize the instant success stories, we look for shortcuts.

B-RAD with Brad ToewsDying before you DieWe often think of life as preceding death. First you live and then you die. But death also precedes life. It's a circle, not a line. The rhythm of seasons, sunrise and sunset, waking and sleeping, show us this pattern. Our very cells die and are made new. The food we eat, once living, died to sustain our lives. We see this pattern every day, every hour almost and yet we resist death. Why? If we view our lifetime as a line that starts and stops at discrete points we will fear death...2018-04-2522 min

This becoming is a metaphysical journey, where we explore the fundamental nature of our being, and what it means to both become from this being and to become into this being. We're not static. We're constantly being made. This is our becoming. What is our fundamental nature? Our identity? What are we becoming from? What are we becoming into? For many people it is their own efforts, being self-made, that defines their becoming. In this three-part series, I've...2018-04-1823 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsThe Madness of Being Self-Made, Part 2The scientific field of epigenetics has revolutionized how we understand why organisms are the way they are. Turns out that although a "script" for how our physiological self will develop and grow is written in our genome, we now know that different outcomes are possible because of our epigenome, which modifies how that "script" is expressed. We're not bound to certain life outcomes as the result of our genetic code. The script matters for sure, but epigenetics tells us, at the DNA level of our being, that we participate in who we become.

B-RAD with Brad ToewsThe Madness of Being Self-Made, Part 1Are you familiar with metadata? Metadata sounds high-tech or sciency, but it's simply data that gives information about other data. For example, when you listen to an audio recording of the podcast you're listening to an MP3 file. On that file is metadata about this particular episode. The show title, copyright, etc. encoded right in the file you're listening to. The metadata is the background and foundational information of the file's data.

False humility is actually low self-esteem, low self-worth. Forgetting humility is an exaggeration of self, it's arrogance. Neither are expressions of true self. How do we find true humility? Can we land in the middle of the spectrum? Maybe we find that sweet spot when we admit what we don't know and are willing to let go of what we think we know. True humility is the posture of...2018-03-1520 min
B-RAD with Brad ToewsNo Sex for LentIn the Christian tradition Lent is a period of fasting. Fasting is a way of breaking a pattern, interrupting a loop in our life; it's a tool to help us re-orient and reset our behaviours. Behaviour is rooted in desire, and though we can fast from our behaviour we can't fast from desire, nor should we. Desire can manifest in unhealthy and harmful behaviour, for sure, but desire itself is the deep voice of your heart. Lent, or a time a fasting, can help us identify the desire beneath our behaviours. That thing we truly...2018-03-0720 min

We want to hold them in a higher position, superior to ourselves and others. Why do we seek a pedestal? And can the pedestal deliver what our fragile sense of self is always hungering for - to be seen, known, and recognized? The pedestal cannot provide what we seek. It's too small, too impermanent. It doesn't hold the power we think it does. It's never enough. What pedestal are you seeking? What ladder are...2018-02-2122 min
