Owen is joined by Craig McPherson, owner of CNC Wood Cutters. Job and career hopping aren't always seen as a good thing, something Craig acknowledges in this interview.

What is it like to experience the presence of God? Drawing from the Contemplative Prayer tradition there are three general ways Gods presence has been described: an intellectual vision or grasp God, an intuitive sense of God, and a social interactive sense of God's presence. The intellectual vision first requires that our emotions are quieted and mistaken images of God are removed from the intellect. With the intuitve sensing of God's presence, the intellect is stilled since God is beyond our full understadning. After the emotions have been cleared of old hurts, resentments and angers, we can begin to sens...

What is hope? We look at some different aspects of what it is. Hope involves resiliency when our plans do not happen as we had imagined. Humility helps us to sort out realistic hope from too high expectations. 'Sometimes we must lose what we wanted before we can find it' is an important lesson for holding onto hope. Hope is a choice, but on what basis do we choose hope? It becomes clear that hope is connected to several things- humility, happiness, healthy spirituality.

Righteous anger raises our awareness, but should lead to compassionate confidence. Compassionate confidence is more durable over time since it involves attitude an beliefs, not just an emotional reaction. To see more of Craig's books and music go to www.craigowen.net

Book of Revelation: Endtimes or Something Else? pt 9
In the last episode I suggested what was the real message and spirituality of the book of Revelation. It is NOT telling us to be passive, waiting for God to intervene in history as all kinds of horrible things happen to the earth. The author of Revelation copied heavily from the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. Both Daniel and Revelation were written to religious groups who were being persecuted and oppressed. Both books allegedly predict all kinds of terrible things that will occcur. What actually happened in history after both books were written? We will fin...

These were the questions we left off with last time. In this episode, we look at a story of the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah. The story takes place in the year 587 BCE when Jerusalem was completley surrounded by the huge army of Babylon. We will find answers to these questions in this story.

Someone who is slothful or unmotivated does not want to do much with themselves or their life. But there is more going on here than just laziness.
