Guest: Reverend Britt Skarda, M.Div.

I am joined by Reverend Britt Skarda, a retired United Methodist pastor of thirty-four years who lives in Little Rock, Arkansas. We discuss how Jesus would encourage conversation about the need for many Christians, and the Christian Church overall, to return to the essence of his teachings: to love God and love our neighbors. We discuss the importance of expanding the conversation around issues such as abortion, women's rights, the idea of a male God, and political narratives that are being used to divide in the name of Jesus.

Guest: Reverend Kirby Ingram

Reverend Kirby and I discuss: The concept of spiritual consciousness, or knowing ourselves as spiritual beings on great human adventures, has been around for centuries. Expressing as our divine self in everyday life is the fundamental goal of all world religions. We know we are living as our conscious/awake self each time we live the Golden Rule and treat others and all life as we want to be treated. The result is a life of joy.

Guest: Lauren Haze, Professional Dancer and Wellness Expert

We discuss the important ways breathing deeply adds to the quality of our life. We talk about being mindful and connected with both the present and our bodies, to help eliminate stress and anxiety. How the simple act of calling in light energy and love frequency with our breath reminds us that our bodies are home to our eternal soul. And that we can, with mindfulness, be our best selves in every moment.
