So true. I resonate with this. Accepting what is happening rather than ignoring the reality of the moment.

Thank you so much for this episode. I will definitely practice them

Thank you for your reaffirming words and honesty. I purchased The Long Night a couple of weeks ago and was crying before I even finished The Invitation. THANK YOU! ❤

I relate so much to this. I was always an outsider. I never belonged. I still don't belong. I have been bullied, demeaned, rejected and harassed. It wasn't until I challenged God did my life turned around.

Amazing and inspiring! Yet another confirmatory exposition from God through Alann and his son, Noah. Many thanks for all your efforts to make this podcast and for allowing the stream from Eden to reach the parts that need it. We're blessed to have Noah teach and stay with us a good few times last year, here in Harrogate, Yorkshire, England. This podcast on threes, sevens and fortys was so helpful and is rekindling thoughts and desires of"times" , kairos, gone by! I'm hooked! With desire I desire to know and Be more. Very helpful to know it's ordained that we 'STOP' to experience prescence. awesome. thank you Steve. David Francis, Harrogate,UK.

love your voices. thank you 😊

I have been struggling with just this recently! Such wonderful advice :)

Soooo tov!

I like the fact that he pointed out that the moment you reduce God to the finite definition of the sense of the world, you lose the magnitude of who God is. Listening to this the second time made me understand where his journey is taking him. In a way, his journey in his faith gave me the reassurance that my daughter will be heading the right path.

This is an incredible show. Thank you for this gift.

Thank you for sharing this podcast. I had to categorize myself as an unorthodox Christian. I'm bisexual and an obnoxious geek. I play with Fantasy and Science Fiction lores that are beyond Christianity dogmas.

It's my first time hearing a Christian in public saying and using vulgar words. So hilarious and off the charts. I love her honesty and vigor. I can totally relate to her experiences with judgemental Church members.

Thank you for sharing this episode. God speaks to me with different people of all colors and ages. I learned a lot from God's ever growing presence in my life. I was also asked to listen. Listening and accepting what is asked of me rather than to want to speak what I have to say.

This episode made me cry so much. The descendants of Ishmael are being forced to life a life of strife like the Samaritans of old. When my husband shared the news of Jerusalem being the capital of Israel, I was really upset. The POTUS has no justification whatsoever on what goes on there. The Palestinians and the Israelis have been at war for centuries. If one nation could make peace between these warring countries, then let be the Vatican city or the City of Mecca. Not the United States.

I believe that the sexual immorality is in the media because women can now share their story without question. It brought a lot more ugliness because there are younger women can now have the power to say "He raped me" without second thoughts about the consequences of their lies just to put a man in jail they do not like. There should be a better justice system where better questions are asked. That heresay can still be considered non-admissible in court.

Thanks for sharing this episode. I can't believe how much I'm benefiting from listening to your podcasts. All these things you mentioned, I had to learn on my own. The thing I would like to add to the list is "pamper" because sometimes we need to treat ourselves with beautiful things. Not necessarily buy stuff. Pampering myself is like taking a bubble bath. I love playing with bubbles. Lavender soothes my anxiety. The warm water relaxes my muscles.

Thank you for sharing this episode. I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one who experienced abuse from the members of the Church. These members were my parents, the Pastor and the youth leader. There were other churches that had the same abuse culture I experienced at home. I stopped going to churches since I left my parents' house. Definitely will put the book on my list to read.

Thank you for confirming the meaning of divine forgiveness for me. For the longest time I was taught that forgiveness was giving the person the right to hurt me again. It wasn't until I left my parents house that they taught me the wrong perspective of the meaning of forgiveness. The book that help me realize this was called "the power of kindness" by Piero Ferruci

This is refreshing. Thank you for this podcast. It has been a long time for me to share my spiritual experience with my family. They get annoyed when I address Jesus as "Jesus, the Christ"

I'm suffering from depression too. I'm glad to hear your honesty. I'm glad my curiosity led to you. I found your blog in my lowest point. My heart was aching from the insults I received from my mother. I had Google searched "How do you discover yourself without judgment?" Your blog, "The Difficulty of being yourself" came up. I was baffled. Who writes this stuff? When I learned you were a pastor, I hesitated. I didn't want to read it. But I was in so much pain. I read it. I read it again. I read the rest of your blog posts. My soul started to sing. I knew I was home. I wanted to learn more. I got excited when you kick started your blog. I was still financially struggling at the time. As soon as your blog aired, I listened. I shared it with my family including my mother. She told me that I was stupid for being gullible to listen to a cult. I was torn to pieces inside. I had to find another way to separate myself from her negativity. I haven't spoken to her in 7 years since my father died. It's still a struggle trying to reconcile the relationship. I have already accepted the fact that she's not worth my health and time. I'm still praying about this burden. Been praying this burden to resolve since I was 14.
