There is a season for all things, and the season for my Church is Broken podcast has come to an end as I have faithfully delivered that specific message that was in my heart. In this final episode of the podcast, I describe the shattering of the frame by which I have lived my life for over 40 years and the process of stepping into a new, expanded frame – one that feels more uncertain than I have ever experienced. Through this journey I’ve realized that my calling is to a broader audience – any man or woman who is seeking to grow, to become more than they are today. As human beings created in the image of God, we all have an innate desire and drive to grow. But growth is not easy. In fact, growth is often painful because it requires that we break through barriers, obstacles, habits, thought patterns, bondage, ways of operating, ways of seeing the world, darkness, etc. that keep us from becoming the person we desire to be. All these things that hold us back are the “PIT” and the only way for us to become the person we’re created to be is by walking through our pit. There is simply no other way. Over the past 20 years of my life I have experienced walking through my pit 100’s of times and my engineering brain coupled with my healer’s heart has developed a process for pit walking, based on universal truths, that leads to liberation, transformation, and spontaneous growth for anyone who is willing. If you are a seeker and desire to become more than who you are today, then join me for THE PITWALKER PODCAST that launches on April 15, 2019.  

On my family trip to Disneyland I  saw this sign at the gate: “HERE YOU LEAVE TODAY AND ENTER THE LAND OF TOMORROW YESTERDAY AND FANTASY.” As humans we have been conditioned to spend so much time in the past, in the future, and in fiction that we remain in a cycle that leads to nowhere. To get where we want to go our starting point must be rooted in the reality of now. _____________________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast.

The pain, the darkness, the process... This week I entered into one of the most profound experiences of my life to date. Walk with me through my pit, all the way into the darkness, to a taproot of pain, and witness the power and beauty that I found as my son freed me from a generational cycle in my family as he showed me what it is to love. To know that I am loved. To know that I AM LOVE. _____________________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast.

The process of growth and becoming is painful. Think about a seed cracking open to grow, or a baby being born. Nothing about the process is warm and fuzzy. In this episode I’m going to bring you into my pain and darkness – not after I have passed through it and have a great story to tell – but right in the middle of it, as I am in the darkness of another cavern of my pit. Here’s the good news: I know the way to find the light and truth. I know that liberation and power awaits me. So listen in and stay tuned as this unfolds real time… _____________________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast.

DIVINITY is within us all, but many people wander through life and never access this POWER inside.  When we’re truly in tune with GOD in our HEART, we enter into a state of FLOW - a state where things seem effortless and CREATION ushers forth from us without struggle. In this state of FLOW we discover what it means to become an INSTRUMENT of GOD, wielded by Him to bring heaven to earth.  In this episode, I discuss my process to access FLOW as an INSTRUMENT OF GOD by doing WORK to make myself PRESENT and CONNECTED in a posture of SUBMISSION, and then making the CHOICE to do His will and not mine.   _____________________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast.

As a man there is no greater source of POWER than when your relationship with your wife is aligned and in harmony.  And there is also no greater source of PARALYSIS when it is not.  This is because we are ONE with our spouse - a SPIRITUAL UNION created through the physical act of being "joined" to one another.  The mystery of marriage is profound and deep.  When it is on fire it activates our SUPERPOWER.  When it is floundering, it acts as KRYPTONITE.  Find out how I screwed up in my marriage in a major way by forgetting to take care of something so BASIC. _____________________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast.

We all have FEARS.  Many of them reside in our subconscious based on past experiences that we may be completely unaware of.  In order to conquer our fears and move into a new POSSIBILITY, we must first NAME them.  Once we name them and begin to FACE them, we begin a deep dive into the PIT of our soul.  It is in the PIT that we come FACE to FACE with our greatest FEARS and PAIN.  Listen today as I walk you through my pit and conquering on of my most deep seeded FEARS, and learn how you can do the same. _____________________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast.
