My friend and soul sister Michelle Meeks, a woman that has had an incredible impact on my life for the past 18 years, is my guest on the Tales of Recovery this week. Michelle and I met a long time ago at Eastlake Church and I have been lucky to have her as a friend, guide and support all through out the arduous journey of religious deconstruction until finally heading out the door of the xitian religion and its restrictive belief systems. Michelle later coached me in both in her live detox and nutrition and wellness program that was BEYOND any body based healing I had ever done. Besides feeling physically amazing, I learned to love myself and my body like I never had before. She oozes love and is one of my biggest gifts in this journey of self love, liberation and re-discovery. We have grown in a friendship of remembering our magic, witchey woo woo fun and continued healing through psychedelics and ongoing evolution. May you be inspired by the possibility of change, freedom and EXPANSION in this life of love that is a GIFT as you listen in on our conversation. You can follow Michelle on IG @revolve.fit Her next liver detox group starts this weekend, reach out to her if you want to join the wellness fun :)

Pastor Josh Edwards from Eastlake Church delivered a powerful word on building a healthy church. If we strive for generosity, neediness will not be a part of our community. We should be building the church on Jesus. Generosity, unity and Jesus at the center of it all is what a healthy church looks like. Josh Edwards 3rd July 2022
In this intimate conversation, author, Bible teacher, and spoken-word artist Hosanna Wong offers reflections on the global pandemic as it relates to faith, loss, leadership, and where we go from here. The daughter of a heroin addict and Chinese gang member in San Francisco, she recounts her father’s transformation through faith, the impact of his loss, and how she met that loss with “the only thing I knew how to do,” which was poetry. She also speaks bravely about finding and embracing her identity as a Chinese American and as a Chinese American woman, and her passion to empower others – especially young people – to lean into their own unique identity and God-given worth in order to live out their purpose in a changing world Hosanna is the teaching pastor at EastLake Church in the San Diego area and the executive director of Calvary Street Ministries, an outreach bringing hope to the homeless and low-income families in San Francisco. Under the name Hosanna Poetry, she has released two spoken-word albums—Maps, Boots, & Other Ways We Get There (2013) and Figless (2015)—and authored three books, I Have a New Name (2017), Superadded (2018), and her new best-selling book, How (Not) to Save the World, available now.

“I’m in no hurry to exit this world. I love this world, I love life, I love people, I love community, I love humanity, I love conversations, I love sex, I love all the things that make life good. I love a good cigar, I love to have my bourbon, I love a good meal, I love seeing a sunset at the ocean.” - Dave Warnock on Humanize MeDave Warnock is a former pastor turned humanist who earlier this year was diagnosed with ALS. In response to his diagnosis, a community of secular people rallied around Dave, and they believe his story and attitude is an inspiration. We agree!In this conversation with Bart Campolo, Dave talks about his life in the evangelical subculture, his deconversion from faith at 55 years old, the end of his marriage, discovering himself independently for the first time, finding a new community, getting a terminal diagnosis, death with dignity and the 'final exit', and how his illness has focused his mind on what's truly important.A website about Dave can be found at EveryonesAgnostic.com/Dave.html (and check out the rest of the Everyone's Agnostic site too!).On Patreon this week: The final of 8 sessions of long-form conversation between Bart and his famous evangelical father, Tony Campolo, recorded for the film Leaving My Father’s Faith (available on Amazon).

Bart Campolo is a materialist, which means that he thinks that the physical universe and its movements are the basis of all reality, and that human consciousness, morality, meaning and everything else comes from physical nature.So you may consider it odd that Bart would have Mark Gober on his podcast, whose book argues that science has proven the existence of consciousness beyond the human body. Gober says that there is evidence for the existence of phenomena like telepathy, precognition, remote viewing and psychokinesis, and that this evidence has convinced him that consciousness transcends the human brain.Needless to say, Bart disagrees with this, but these kinds of views are common in our society, especially among people who are not part of 'organized religion'. So, while this conversation is not a debate, it's a lively discussion of why Mark thinks these claims are valid, particularly as someone who was once a materialist like Bart.They hit on: What scientific evidence Marks thinks show that consciousness can happen outside the brain, that it predates matter and energy; Is creating your own meaning just rationalizing?; Is consciousness fundamental to the universe, expressing itself in different forms?Here's the article Mark cites in the American Psychologist journal by Etzel Cardeña:https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Famp0000236A summary of CIA experiments (noting ‘methodological problems’) on remote viewing:https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00787R000500250015-6.pdfMore on 'cellular memory', the idea that some aspects of consciousness can be influenced by cells in the rest of the body:https://www.medicaldaily.com/can-organ-transplant-change-recipients-personality-cell-memory-theory-affirms-yes-247498The coincidences between Lincoln and Kennedy’s assassinations:https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/linkin-kennedy/--Bonus episode!I had a very interesting conversation with my friend Ryan Meeks recently, who is the founder of Eastlake Church near Seattle.

In episode #9 of Misfit Faith I address the topic of a supposedly all-powerful God and the existence of suffering and evil in the world. I chat with the infamous pastor of Eastlake Church, Ryan Meeks, about this issue (and what he has to say may surprise you). I answer a listener's call about Pope Francis's recent remarks about the victims of sexual abuse, and our "Jason Needs a Minute" segment laments how damn old I am getting.
In episode 21, we continue with part 2 of our conversation with Ryan Meeks of Eastlake Church in Seattle, WA. We pick up where we left off and continue talking about an interfaith posture, not having the exclusive truth and Ryan's motto — life is a gift and love is the point. This episode is bound to provoke you, introduce you to new ways of thinking and ultimately open you up to a more loving and inclusive posture. Learn more about Ryan at: www.eastlakecc.com
In episode 20, we sit down with Ryan Meeks who is the founder of Eastlake Church near Seattle, WA. Eastlake has always been known as an innovative community approaching church and spirituality in new ways. Ryan is most well known for being featured in TIME when Eastlake was one of the first evangelical megachurches to move to an open & affirming stance for the LGBTQ community. Ryan's story is one of continually being open to wherever your spiritual journey might take you even if that means you have to experience great loss and let go of everything you've once known. You can keep up with Ryan at his blog titled "things I'll disagree with in 3yrs or less": http://vwmeeks.tumblr.com.
