“Avoid talking about politics and religion” is such a boring cliche. It's not helpful. Obviously, it's prudent to know when to give in to that rule, because meaningless fighting is the real problem with a discussion about politics or religion. When it comes to politics and religion, differentiation should be the goal. In this episode of Factory Settings, Bridget and Jeren dive into religion, God, moderation, Catholicism, a Higher Power, and how to manage —all of the stuff, and more. We're living through an era of infernal Discourse. This episode is an example of how to escape it.QUESTIONSBridget* If you're celebrating Lent, what are you giving up? And if you're not celebrating Lent, or religion at all—whatever you need to access your higher self: What are some distractions in your life? What's distracting you?Jeren* What's one thing in your life that you would better for, if you gave up? Is there something you're doing that you shouldn't be doing? Or if you did less of it, or gave it up, it would allow you to access some other part of yourself or achieve something—what would that be?MENTIONED“The Lord's Prayer” from The Sermon On The Mount by Emmet FoxThe War of Art by Steven Pressfield“Bill's Story” from The Big Book - Audio VersionHumbuggery Substack by Father Tom MillerBeyond Parody with Bridget Phetasy is a reader-supported publication.

This episode I am reading from Lynne McGinnis's book 'Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths: One Woman's Journey to Spiritual Awakening'.Lynne McGinnis grew up feeling defective—bombarded by parental atheism, messages that there was "something wrong" with her, relentless bullying, and a deep-seated panic over death. She sought refuge in compulsive achievements, excelling as a top-ranked law student and later as an attorney. Yet, her prestigious career only masked her chronic anxiety, struggles with body image, and ingrained belief that she was worthless. In the early 1990's, at one particularly low point, spiritual nudges led Lynne to participate in a 12-Step recovery program and study the liberating doctrines of the New Thought movement.This path led her to confront the ultimate fear—death—by discovering the transformative truths of Near Death Experiences and reincarnation, compelling her to seek out the world's foremost authority, Dr. Michael Newton, Ph.D., for a Life Between Lives spiritual regression session.But Lynne learned the hard way that true spiritual awakening requires changing negative thought patterns and embracing not only unconditional love of others but also, unconditional love of oneself. Thus, she continued her relentless attempt to gain self-esteem by overachieving and seeking the approval of others. This ultimately drove her to a mental and emotional collapse - a true dark night of the soul. Only then was she ready to let go of the false messages she had been giving herself for so many years and embrace the Higher Truths.Follow Lynne into the spiritual realm during her life-changing Life Between Lives (LBL) sessions with Dr. Michael Newton (author of Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls) and one of his successors, Scott. Here, her Spirit Guide and Council unlock profound memories and universal insights:   Her Pre-Birth Planning: Confirmation of her soul purpose as a Teacher of Souls and her choice of a challenging family life to master the lesson of unconditional self-love.   Soul Connections: The identity of her own Soul Group.   The Universal View: A deep discourse on the "Watchers of the Planets," revealing why they intervened during the Cuban Missile Crisis and their current dilemma regarding the Earth's environmental crisis.   The Path Forward: The ultimate realization that her fear, rage, and competitive drive were merely distractions from her true lesson: unconditional self-love—a love already bestowed by her Creator.Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths is more than a memoir; it is a roadmap to self-acceptance and a powerful confirmation of the soul's enduring journey. Lynne shares how embracing the timeless truth—"We are Eternal Souls human experiences who our Creator loves unconditionally"—finally dissolved decades of fear, rage, and self-sabotage, leading her to hope, purpose, and Divine alignment.Read this book if you are ready to:   Heal from decades of negative self-talk and feeling "not good enough."   Understand the soul-level purpose behind your deepest struggles.   Find comfort in the existence of an unconditionally loving Higher Power.   Embrace your true, Eternal Self and step into your highest purpose.BioLynne. I was an attorney who was employed by a large organization for over 21 years. Due to self-imposed pressure and the pressure of meeting seemingly never-ending deadlines, over the years, I felt increasingly anxious and depressed.One day, I had a stress-related breakdown. To recover from the breakdown, I followed a three-step process where I focused on all aspects of myself: my body, my mind, and my soul. This process ultimately led to what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. My life is now filled with joy and wonder.I now feel called to help those of you who are facing work stress challenges similar to my own.

Dennis T from Alaska joined SA on July 29th 2014. After 40 years of searching for a solution, he was finally introduced to SA at age 52. He asked for a sponsor on day 1 and has worked his program every day since. He states that helping another sexaholic through the steps brings about the greatest connection to his Higher Power than anything else. Being used by God, on a daily basis, has changed his life and his relationships. Living free one day at a time by utterly abandoning himself to his Higher Power has given him a new way of living.  Today, Dennis speaks to us on Step 2.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

What if your addiction is your ultimate calling?In this episode of SOBER.COFFEE, Glenn and Mike dive into the raw, authentic reality of the recovery journey.

Let's Keep It Simple AA is growing fast. Meetings are multiplying. The message is spreading beyond anything they imagined. And Bill voices a concern that growth might dilute the heart of the program — that structure, organization, and popularity could eventually replace the spiritual core that saved their lives. Bob listens, then responds calmly. Bob reminds Bill that AA was never meant to be protected by control. It was meant to be protected by principles. If AA stayed grounded in humility, service, and reliance on a Higher Power, it would survive mistakes, disagreements, and even misuse. Bill pushes back — what if people twist it? What if ego takes over? What if the message gets watered down? Bob's answer is simple and steady: AA doesn't belong to them. It belongs to the alcoholics who need it. And those alcoholics will ultimately decide what works and what doesn't. The job isn't to manage outcomes — it's to keep the doors open and the message available. Bill begins to see it. AA doesn't need perfect leadership. It needs faith, responsibility, and simplicity. If the core stays intact — one alcoholic helping another, guided by spiritual principles — the fellowship will correct itself over time. The future of AA, Bob suggests, isn't secured by rules or fear. It's secured by trust — trust in God, trust in the principles, and trust that alcoholics helping alcoholics will find their way.

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. His titles have been translated into 37 languages and have been read by millions of people around the world. https://nealedonaldwalsch.com Book Links to Buy GodTalkAmazon: https://amzn.to/3O0ud1cBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3KjN9pzAbout Anita AdamsI'm Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Journey, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.
