Funniest Thing!Light a Little Candle Wherever You Go with Sally Reed SnyderEvery kind deed, every noble act pays off double. You get your first payoff the instant you do it by the Joy it releases. The second payoff comes later on, for no human action is exempt from repercussions. The world must eventually react to any good act and the bread you cast upon the waters will be returned to you on some later tide. Shed peace, not discord, wherever you go. Try to be part of the cure of every situation, not part of the problem. Always try to build up, never to tear down. Show others by your...2024-12-311h 11Funniest Thing!I Won’t Try Harder with Terry McBrideQuit trying and let God’s grace and Divine order go to work for you. The word grace means favor. Grace flows to us without hindrance or limitation. The most effective method to overcome, prosper, and succeed is to let go and let God work in your affairs. The secret to success is to trust God and simply do the next indicated action. Alan Cohen states, “We do not need to feverishly hustle to make sure everything will turn out right. We attract all that turns out right by being at peace.” On this episode, Darrell and Ed remind listen...2024-08-131h 17Funniest Thing!We’ve Got God’s Private Telephone Number! with Reverend Michael SchoonoverYour inspired thoughts of doing what you would truly desire to be doing are Divine indications of God’s will for you. However, no force of your human will, nor manipulation can make it happen. So you may be wondering, then how do I get there from here? It’s simple. Resist the urge to force your way and start thanking in advance for the good you desire. Whenever we begin our prayers with “Thank you Father!” the phone rings in the throne room of heaven and miracles follow. On this episode Darrell and Ed drive home the truth that wha...2024-07-231h 14Funniest Thing!Life Is For Living with Stephanie & Dodie Stevens | Funniest Thing! with Darrell and EdInspiration and motivation are ours for the asking.

God show me the way!” And even though you may have been too timid to try new things or to call...2024-04-211h 14Funniest Thing!Treat The Treatment with Actor Rod SweitzerCan you imagine a state of mind absolutely free of fear? It can seem hard for us who have had Fear, Worry and Uncertainty as constant companions most of our lives. The good news is that all it takes to break free from these negative influences is to see them for what they are: merely indicators that we’ve temporarily forgotten to join forces with God’s Will. It’s time to remind ourselves of the Truth. The Truth, that to think Harmony, Health, Prosperity, and Divine Order are at work in whatever situation we’re facing is actually cooperat...2024-04-141h 09Funniest Thing!What’s New? with Steven Bruni and Dakota LedfordThe desire for a change for the better is the Divine nudge of progress. “Quench not the spirit.” If you’re not clear what it is that would bring you more fulfillment, ask God for a sign. You will get one and you’ll know it when you see it because it will feel good. Believe beyond any doubt that Spirit is guiding you to your highest and best. Do not be discouraged or dissuaded by the opinions of others or your own limiting ideas. Affirm that you have mountain-moving faith to do whatever you are called to do in the m...2024-04-081h 31Funniest Thing!The Light Touch with Rev. Nancy NormanThe light touch employs the most powerful ingredient in healing body, mind, and circumstances: Childlike Faith. The light touch is the delightful touch. It’s praying with a feather, rather than a pick axe. Choosing to apply the light touch to our seeming problems redirects our mind from worry-fueled self-determination to absolute trust that God is working things out on our behalf. It’s the non-resistant route. With the light touch there is no struggle to overcome as it is surrendering to the power behind all life: Love. On this episode, Darrell and Ed remind listeners that faith plus Love...2024-04-021h 23Funniest Thing!I Know a Shortcut with John Strickland “God makes a way where there is no way”, is an affirmative way of stating that a mustard seed of Faith is all that it takes. It is a confirmation that God will bring our desire about, in spite of our doubts. Our job is to treat the concern and let God take care of the condition. Live in the solution of belief and assume the feeling of relief as though your desired outcome has already occurred. Avoid the temptation of taking the long way of worry, doubt, and outlining obstacles. On this episode, Darrell and Ed get us looki...2024-03-261h 14Funniest Thing!Living The Law Of Increase with Wayne Manning | Funniest Thing! with Darrell and EdGratitude is the law of increase, and complaint is the law of decrease. Keep on the side of thanks giving. Complaint is believing in thoughts that have no foundation in Absolute Truth. They originate out of the intellect. Such thoughts are eliminated by denying their reality and power, and affirming the Truth of Being; then their outer expressions and manifestations disappear also. Thank God for the knowledge of this Truth. Thank God for all the good you have received, and all the good your future holds.
When you change your mind, life has no choice but to...2024-03-181h 27Funniest Thing!Quit Your Day Job with May McCarthyDon’t make life a job! Live it from the inside out. Live intuitively and prosper. Trust your intuition. Every goal, desire, and dream is easier than we tend to believe, simply because it is beyond what we’ve known. It is outside of the familiar box we’ve kept ourselves in. On this episode, Darrell and Ed remind the listeners and each other that stepping out boldly is really just being willing to discover we’ve been wrong about what we thought were our limits. And, during the second segment, Miracle Madam May McCarthy encourages us to trust our intu...2024-03-171h 26Funniest Thing!Actually, You Can with Chellie Campbell Life is easier than we think. The only difficulties are of our own making. They are only old worn-out beliefs, which are nothing more than repetitive ideas that we’ve accepted as true. Charles Fillmore suggests “Turn the great energy of your thinking upon ideas of plenty and you will have plenty regardless of what others about you are saying or doing.” On this episode, Darrell and Ed share how nothing can stop us from our desires when we simply think affirmatively and ask divine intelligence what next steps we are to take. And, during the second segment, Cheerful Chellie...2024-03-111h 40Funniest Thing!Enjoy a Fear-Free Diet with Reverend Anna ShouseLet’s give up our obsessive fears and feast on Faith. Some of us have been running scared for so long that it has become a habit. What great news to discover it’s only a habit and not a reality. So let’s give up snacking on worry and start filling-up on Faith. This means we will no longer give into the luxury of “pre-worrying”. Instead we commit to believing that blessings are everywhere, and good can come out of all things. On this episode, Darrell and Ed remind listeners that each time we say “NO!” we weaken the old habit...2024-03-041h 22Funniest Thing!If Not Now, When? with Actor Will RubioIf you have a song to sing, sing it now. If you have a smile to show, show it now. If you have kind words to say, say them now. And most importantly, if you are inspired to act, follow that hunch. Fear temps us to keep kicking the can down the road and say, “One day I’ll pursue my heart’s desire. Just not today.” On this episode, Darrell and Ed encourage listeners and each other to trust their intuition and follow their inspired hunches. And, during the second segment, Happy-go-lucky Actor Will Rubio reminds us that timing i...2024-02-201h 34Funniest Thing!Let There Be Fun with Marty ThurmanLook above and beyond any limiting thoughts.

This is the law of growth and there's no avoiding it. Whatever is the subject of your thought, be it good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. So if we desire to enjoy more of what we love and less of what we don’t, the secret is to stop complaining and start thanking. Metaphysical teacher Cathy Jean Norman has said, “When you let go... and are grateful... there is an orchestrating power of the universe that can brin...2024-02-061h 27Funniest Thing!The Royal Treatment with Jenna JaeHave you been considering the choices you make? Have you been putting them to the test, by considering if the answer you choose is worthy of a King? Most of us rarely, if ever, consider if what we choose is worthy of a King. Why not? The only thing that prevents us from enjoying our divine inheritance is the lack of love and appreciation we express toward ourselves. And it begins with our thinking. Are the thoughts we choose to entertain about ourselves and our circumstances worthy of a King? Or do we condemn, complain, and curse? On this...2024-02-021h 22Funniest Thing!Out of the Bleachers and Into the Arena with Reverend Richard MarajWhat is courage? It is the simply discipline to remain hopeful. We always have a choice to either trust in the overwhelming Grace of God working on our behalf or give our faith over to doubt, worry and scheme. On it’s face value the Biblical saying, “Faith without works is dead” can be taken literally; in order to get a demonstration it will take a combination of trust in God along with outer physical effort. However, there is a more powerful interpretation and application: it is the realization that “the works” means practicing the discipline of right thought. On this epi...2024-01-2451 minFunniest Thing!Ain’t Too Proud To Sparkle with Rod SweitzerSince giving is the first step in receiving your giving makes you rich.

A smiling man is an indication of a confident man, confident that all things are working together for good. A generous attitude makes us divinely irresistible to our unlimited inheritance. If up until now you have hesitated to share your gifts, today is the day to trust those gifts and share them generously. On this episode, Darrell and Ed inspire listeners...2024-01-151h 29Funniest Thing!Ghost Bustin’ with Reverend Nancy NormanTrust your crazy ideas! Do not allow ghosts of the past to divert you from your true calling. Inspired ideas seem crazy only because they do not conform to the old worn-out beliefs we have had about ourselves. These old beliefs and ideas are simply worn-out old ghosts of the past. Old ghosts of “You’re not qualified,” “You’ll never earn enough doing that,” “That’s too good to be true,” etc… Now is the time to ignore the ghosts and take a bold step out of the old and into the new. On this episode, Darrell and Ed encourage listene...2024-01-071h 23Funniest Thing!What’s Your Story? with Reverend Cathy NormanWe have all told lots of stories, some of which empower us and others that disempower us. Many people have been stuck on a self-defeating story for so long that their lives stay in a rut, and they wonder why. Others have latched onto life-giving stories that keep making their world better. Any story that portrays you as a creative, whole, and blessed being living in an abundant universe with infinite potential is a worthwhile one to tell. On this episode, Darrell and Ed remind listeners that we have a choice about our story, so let’s tell the on...2024-01-011h 24Funniest Thing!Awe-full Big, Awe-full Good with Terry McBrideWhatever one feels deeply or images clearly is impressed upon the subconscious mind and carried out in minute detail. When you believe something is impossible, your mind goes to work for you to prove why. But, when you believe, really believe, something can be done, your mind goes to work for you and helps you to find the ways to do it. Think in the direction you really want to go with faith and love and the Universe will oblige. On this episode, Darrell and Ed motivate listeners to think awe-fully big and awe-fully good about themselves and desires...2023-12-261h 38Funniest Thing!I’m a Big Kid Now with Reverend Kathy BeasleyA big kid maintains their childlike sense of awe and appreciation throughout their lifetime.

There is no power in this universe that opposes your good. There is no force outside of you that can determine what happens to you. But there is a very potent force inside you that sets the stage for every event you experience.

Today we get out of the mental habit of using our age to justify why we’re not trying new things. Discouraging yourself is not God’s will. The young at heart are always looking forward to new experiences, opportunities, and adventures. Let’s join them. On this episode, Darrell and Ed drive home the fact that the future is friendly, and God is cheering us on when we step beyond the limits we made up for ourselves. And, during the second...2023-11-201h 14Funniest Thing!Joy First and Good Fortune Follows with Paulette PipeA close relation exists between joy and prosperity. Observing this relation, we have erroneously concluded that prosperity is the cause of joy. The truth is that joy is the open door to prosperity. It is also a universally accepted truth that joy is conducive to health. If this be true, and we all instinctively know that it is true, we should cultivate joy as a good medicine and secure investment. On this episode, Darrell and Ed motivate us to think of happy things, sing joyous songs, and radiate the buoyant health and accept the lavish prosperity which is divinely o...2023-11-141h 35Funniest Thing!Embrace Your Good Luck Consciousness with Ginny Roll and Janet PrincePeople who we call lucky are those who have stumbled upon the working of the law of good fortune.

The moment we take God as our partner, we discover we are inches from our goal, not the miles we’ve believed. The key is to let go of our efforts to make something happen, and entrust the entire process to the hands of a loving God. When we do we find we are guided by joy and joyful, nudges. Our only responsibility is to heed them. On this episode, Darrell and Ed, encourage everyone to decide to be the great men and women we are, not the struggling person we sometimes mistakenly think we are...2023-10-301h 23Funniest Thing!Bringing It About From The Inside Out with Siri GopalAll reform is from within outward, you will always find that the outward is improved as the inward is improved.

Or as Florence Scovel Shinn puts it, “Life is not a battle, it’s a game; a game of giving and receiving.” Whatever we are believing we are giving and we always receive according to this belief. On this episode, Darrell and Ed share the benefits of taking a pronoid approach to life. Pronoia describes a state of mind that is the opposite of paranoia. A person experiencing pronoia believes that the world around them conspires to do them good. And, during the second se...2023-10-021h 13Funniest Thing!Make All Things New with Sammy SmithThe statement, “Behold I make all things new”, implies that we have the power within to transform any situation for the better.

And, during the second segment, Soulful Samm...2023-09-251h 22Funniest Thing!Love the One You’re With with Lisa SchmidtCriticizing yourself is not loving yourself because our inner belief becomes our outer experience and people take us at our own valuation. So let’s join in fasting from self-criticism and start feasting on prosperous thinking. Stop making excessive demands upon yourself. Spend your time appreciating the good in your life. Success begins when we say kind things to ourselves. We honor God by loving ourselves. On this episode, Darrell and Ed point to the one infinite principle: the law of cause and effect.

Believe it or not, whatever scenario you are rehearsing in mind, whether negative or positive, is a prayer. Keep steering your imaginings to what you truly desire in each circumstance because “you will receive as you have asked“, aka imagined and rehearsed. What are you rehearsing in the shower, while driving, or while out and about? Are you rehearsing with the expectation of positive outcomes? Keeping in mind that whatever we are rehearsing, we are nursing. Cursing is nursing and so is blessing. On this episode, Darrell and Ed highlight the spiritual and scientific truth that...2023-09-111h 11Funniest Thing!Thank Your Way Out with Glenn & Sarah BrewsterIf you want to start turning your life around just start proclaiming, “Thank You”.

We’ve made up laws of limitation for ourselves, and we unfortunately adhere to them. What are these laws? “I’m too old,” is one. “I’m too young,” is another. The list goes on and on, “I am not ready,” “I don’t have enough experience,” “I don’t have the connections,” “It’s too late,” etc… The good news is that since we created these laws, we can also break free of them with faith in the Eternal Law of Good.

2023-07-031h 18Funniest Thing!A Tank Full of Thankful with Actor Will RubioIt is odd, that when the Bible is so full of the value of praise and thanksgiving, that we complain and are sorrowful. Much of the joy of living is lost because of ingratitude. - Charles FIllmore

As you learn how to change the basic thoughts in your mind, you know how to change everything in your life and are well on the way to something better and more productive of good. On this episode, Darrell and Ed highlight just how simple it is to turn on...2023-06-191h 16Funniest Thing!Be All You Can Be with Jennifer MeloniEvery moment we have the choice to either free ourselves or stifle ourselves. We stifle ourselves every time we let fear motivate us. “I better do what makes me look good.“ “I better give them what they expect.” “I better play nice to get what I want.” Rather than being motivated by fear, we can choose to trust in God and confidently take steps in the direction we are inspired and enthused to go. On this episode, Darrell and Ed inspire us to be all we can be by living with a sense of faith instead of self-protection.

And, during the second...2023-05-281h 20Funniest Thing!Forgiveness Is The Ultimate Self-Care with Miranda AriehLet miracles replace grievances!

This includes meeting our every need. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” It, therefore, should be our good pleasure to receive it. And by expecting it, we are demonstrating our gratitude (good pleasure) for the kingdom in advance.

These things are but phantoms. The "devil" is a state of consciousness adverse to the Divine good.
