Peace in the Midst of Pandemonium In Our World
Our world is experiencing pandemonium as it tries to navigate all things related to the COVID pandemic.

Have We Treated Our Sexuality Too Lightly?
What are the effects of allowing human sexuality to be treated lightly in our American society and in our broader world? I address this question while considering how we can challenge ourselves and others to be different, namely in terms of choosing to avoid objectifying others and becoming selfish or soulless people.
Mom's, Children, and Needed Conversations About Pornography
Parent's are the primary rampart for their children against the onslaught of pornography and the sexual exploitation so prevalent in our culture. However, they may have questions as to how to engage their children in conversation about these topics or be uncertain as to when they should begin. For example, they may ask: "What should I say? Is my child too young?" These are legitimate questions I address in a recent presentation I gave at the Restoring Hearts Conference earlier this year in Bellevue, WA called Mom's, Children and Needed Conversations About Pornography. Restoring hearts is an incredible conference for women geared for women who have been impacted by sexual betrayal. I highly recommend checking out their website: www.restoringheartsconference.org.
The recent shootings of multiple black men and police officers in America have given rise to increased racial tensions in our society. These events, along with notions of racial reconciliation and restoration, are addressed in this rich and thought provoking discussion with Shirley Lytle, founder of Living With Purpose Counseling in Bellevue, WA.

The Intersection of Masculinity, Fatherhood, and Pornography
This is my interview with pastor John Hammer from Sonrise Christian Center in Everett, WA. We took the bold leap into discussing the complex issues of masculinity, fatherhood and pornography. John candidly shares his experiences in dealing with pornography and talks about how he was able to overcome his usage through the support of his father, key friendships and his Christian faith. He also highlights his most recent book, EXXXIT, which you should definitely add to your must read list. John has an incredible story and I trust you will find his insights to be encouraging, relevant, and thought provoking. (Music by Sergey Cheremisinov / Creative Commons License)
