Seth and David discuss how manifestation has worked in their lives and try and explain, as best as they can, how to use the Spiritual OS that makes manifestation possible.

This episode is a discussion between Seth, David and a good friend of the program, Dan Redwine. Seth and Dan have been close friends for many years and have watched each other go through their faith journeys. We discuss the nature of faith, belief, religion and spirituality. Enjoy!

There's a lot of scientific data out there regarding porn addiction and its effect on a person's sexual experiences. But there's also a lot of other information that is not so scientific. Today, we discuss some of the programming that's out there, where it came from and what we can do to counter it.

Most of us have a story to tell about church. For some of us, it's an ongoing story. For some, it's a horrible story. And for some, the story has evolved into something beautiful and helpful.

Today we're continuing out little mini-series about the joys and anguish of marriage. On this episode, we're talking KIDS. How do they challenge us? How do they change us? Why in the world would you ever agree to having one? Sam, Seth and I get into it.

Perhaps the most common myth in modern Western culture is that of Redemptive Violence: the idea that by taking holy revenge, we once and for all put an end to the cycle of violence. This myth is getting HEAVY play in today's political discourse and in our own facebook circles. Garret Ringlever joined Seth and I to discuss this idea and it's applications in our spiritual lives.

What if your sexuality is more than just the physical beast that the world has come to know it as? What if it was meant for more than just orgasm? What if it actually connects you to EVERYTHING, starting with yourself? This week, we dig deep into the mystery of our sexuality and how it is the GREATEST tool you've been given for intimacy and beyond.

Conversations is a series we'll be doing periodically as bonus episodes. We'll be sitting down with people that have been down the path for a while and listening to their honest stories of awakening. 

We all have a sense of what authority is: what it's made of, who has it, who doesn't. But what is spiritual authority? And how do we know if we have it? And where did all the demons go? If you are a porn addict, this episode is the most important so far in helping equip you with the tools you need to heal.

In John 10:34, Jesus quotes Psalm 82:"Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”'? 35 If he called them ‘gods,' to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God's Son'?"

In episode 3, Seth and Adam get into the deep waters with a discussion on WHAT and WHY we believe what we believe and how our beliefs MUST be examined and confronted when we begin to seek healing from addiction. The discussion between Seth and David asks one particular question: are you trying to change my religion?

In episode 2, we discuss Language. Adam and Jason discuss the ways that our Language, the words we assign to our pain, our beliefs and our emotions, can help or hinder the process of healing. After that, Seth and David have an in-depth discussion regarding the words we use and why we use them.

In our first episode, we go back to the beginning. The original My Pilgrimage Video Series 1 was shot in the Superstition Wilderness in Arizona. A group of guys hiked back there and spent 3 days having serious conversations around issues of addiction, specifically to pornography, and their beliefs about God, about themselves and about the nature of our humanity and sexuality. This first episode asks, "What am I medicating?" Co-author of Feels Like Redemption, David Glenn Taylor, tells his story which started him and his brother Seth down the path of Pilgrimage, to healing and peace.
