S4 EP5: "...A Deeper Love"

Hilary and Rev. Rob are back with a passionate and compassionate discussion about experiencing this year's LGBTQ Pride parade together, and how this joyous event is really a metaphor for how we could be celebrating ALL of as unique and precious expressions of of All That Is, or however you experience a "higher power" or "greater energy."

S4 EP4: (Non) Judgment Day

"Judge not, lest ye be judged..." seems like such an accessible concept. In other words, its probably not a good idea to judge someone for a behavior they display or for a choice that they have made, because that leaves us open to be judged with the same kind of scrutiny. So I'll get out of your business (which is none of my business anyway), and (hopefully) you'll stay out of mine. Easy peasy, right? Anyone who has struggled with being a "judgy" person knows that this can be much easier said than done. Born out of our survival instinct, we have been conditioned since the beginning of humanity to judge situations, people, ourselves, so we can make choices that most effectively cultivate or advance our well-being. And even though our primitive survival threats have long been extinguished, our instinct to judge has become a distorted lens of perspective: we judge to feel better about ourselves at others' expense OR we judge ourselves mercilessly because we think others are better than us. Either way, focusing on someone else's life, choices, situation, experiences means that we are taking our eye off the ball of our own life's relationships, behaviors, and choices. Hilary and Rev. Rob spill their "spiritual -TEA" about their personal experiences and relationship with judgment in their own lives.

Rob share their personal experiences with seeing and following signs, and encourage listeners to begin to pay attention to how they might be receiving signs or guideposts in their own lives.
