We conclude our latest relapse by watching the remaining three episodes of this 3rd Doctor serial “The Sea Devils” featuring... well, you know... the Sea Devils! Whilst the said titular Sea Devils finally start to wreak havoc, it turns out (surprise?) the Master is just using them to achieve his nefarious ends. Until the Sea Devils flip the script (surprise!) on the Master and use him to achieve their nefarious ends! Plus the Doctor and Jo are there too until the story ends abruptly! Like this description. Just like that. Damn... why can't I just stop? Just ask Steve. Cuz he'll enable me. Thanks Steve!

In this deeply meaningful episode of Joyful Journey Podcast, I sit down with someone whose work has profoundly shaped my spiritual path — Neale Donald Walsch. Author of Conversations with God and more than 40 books on contemporary spirituality, Neale joins me to explore his newest book, GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connection with a Higher Power. This conversation felt less like an interview and more like a sacred exchange — one that reminded me, again and again, that we are never as alone or disconnected as we sometimes believe.Together, we explore the powerful idea that we are all already in conversation with God — we're simply calling it something else. Neale shares why it was so important to include real-life stories from people around the world in GodTalk, and how divine guidance often shows up in unexpected, even seemingly trivial ways. We dive into his six-step process for experiencing a two-way relationship with the Divine, unpacking themes of possibility, worthiness, willingness, wakefulness, acceptance, and discernment — and how fear versus love is the ultimate compass.This episode is filled with wisdom, humour, and heart. From listening to the “tummy test,” to trusting feelings as the language of the soul, to Neale's unforgettable moment on the Today Show when he distilled God's message to humanity into five words — “You've got me all wrong” — this conversation invites us to soften, open, and listen more deeply. If you've ever wondered whether a personal, direct connection with the Divine is possible for you, this episode is a gentle (and joyful) reminder: the conversation is already happening.About Neale Donald WalschNeale Donald Walsch has written 40 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including his new book GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connections with a Higher Power, a book in the Common Sentience book series. Neale is the bestselling author of the Conversations with God series, which seven of the nine books made the New York Times bestseller list. Book One remained on that list for 134 weeks.

Reiki, Light Work, Elder Wisdom: Ifetayo White Heal Thyself… Heal the World. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and promoting healing that involves the transfer of “life force energy” through the practitioner's hands onto or near the client's body. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words: “Rei” meaning “God's Wisdom or the Higher Power” and “Ki” meaning “life force energy,” so Reiki translates to “spiritually guided life force energy.” During a session, a practitioner places their hands on or just above the recipient, aiming to balance energy flows, which is believed to help with physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Reiki is considered a simple, natural, and safe method of energy healing that is often used alongside other medical treatments for relaxation and wellbeing, though scientific evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. Order the book >>> Reiki Heart and Soul Ifetayo White (Ifetayo means Love that brings Joy) is a Usui Shinpiden Reiki Teacher and Practitioner and community elder who is a grandmother and mother to two daughters, a son-in-law, and many more. She followed her heart from Washington D.C. to coastal Beaufort SC where she was the first Reiki teacher in 2000. Ifetayo also serves as an elder birth/postpartum doula and has created a Reiki certification class for birth workers and parents.

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Trudge Report. Join us this week as we recap our weekends and do a little favorite and least favorite Christmas movie around the horn. Greg has a new house guest and let us not forget that Corey almost became a national hero at a Christmas parade. The recovery segment surrounds the idea of what can or cannot define our Higher Powers? We share some of our personal experiences and anecdotes as we were new in recovery and were given counsel by those who came before us. Does a person have to believe in a traditional deity or type of theology? Can nature or the Recovery Group itself be an adequate Higher Power? We discuss how our ideas of what we believe has been influenced by our upbringing and both negative and positive experiences. We finished the show with a personal segment of how each of us came to believe."Let God have your life; He can do more with it than you can." - Dwight L. MoodyDon't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

Part 2: Forgiveness as the Foundation of RecoveryKeton Douglass rejoins Mike and Glenn for the conclusion of their two-part discussion, focusing on the core themes of forgiveness, healing, and addiction through her work with the iTHIRST initiative.As a theologian, Douglass asserts that a lack of forgiveness is a destructive venom that actively threatens recovery, noting that the emotional weight of resentment primarily harms oneself.Key insights from the conversation:The Power of Forgiveness: By unlearning childhood wounds and embracing the concept of a loving, forgiving Higher Power, deep healing becomes possible. The message is simple: if God can forgive, so can we.Clearing Resentments: Turning toward a Higher Power helps clear away resentments and resists the temptation of idolatry, leading to a path of righteousness.The Tripod of Wellness: True freedom requires surrender and work, balancing the three pillars of wellness: Spirituality, Mental, and Physical health.Prayer and Work: The solution for the hurting lies in combining spiritual work, specifically prayer, with concrete effort.Finally, Douglass shares her involvement in the upcoming TV show, Unshackled, on the Shalom World Network.

Listener Discretion: This conversation includes a brief mention of suicidal thoughts as part of one guest's journey toward healing and awakening. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series, for a deeply moving conversation about awakening, consciousness, and remembering who we truly are. Neale shares how a single moment of despair led to a life-changing dialogue with God - one that continues to inspire millions around the world. Our conversation dives into love, unity, and how to live from awareness instead of fear. Together, we explore how to: See challenges as opportunities for soul growth and remembrance Shift from separation to connection and from fear to love Move beyond "doing" spirituality to being it Recognize your soul's purpose in everyday moments Build your own personal, authentic relationship with the Divine This conversation is a beautiful reminder that life isn't happening to us — it's happening through us. Every experience, even the difficult ones, is guiding us back home to love.
