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.

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.

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

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 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? And how can we even become aware of it? Simone Wei...2018-11-2622 min
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".

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.

This script forms and informs how we live. It's how we make our way in the world as humans.

B-RAD with Brad ToewsThe Sum when Some GivesomeHave you ever had an idea to create something great that had the potential to make a significant change in people's lives? 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?

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.
