• Fr. David Gierlach - Jesus Christ! He Still Matters

  On today's podcast I had the pleasure of the company of Episcopal priest, Fr. David Gierlach speaking from his parish in Honolulu, in Hawaii. Fr. David was encouraged to speak his mind on social media a couple of years' ago when many people were outraged that Transgender Appreciation Day coincidentally fell on the same day as Easter Sunday.  His post blew up! Fr. David realised that he had a powerful platform and his gift for communication could take his voice beyond the congregation in his own parish. Two years later this skilled and passionate priest has amassed a following of over 600,000 people between Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok and he uses this to talk straight regularly about basic human values, and in particular the dangerous MAGA cult of morally absent Donald Trump and the damage he is doing. Fr. David started off life in a Catholic seminary, but he left because it wasn't for him. He worked for an alcohol and drug residential centre, he studied law and had a successful two decade career as a lawyer and then in 2009 he became an Episcopal priest. He has recently written a book, 'Jesus Christ! He Still Matters', to remind people about real faith, and not the version that seems to be brainwashing so many at the moment. We need many more like Fr. David. Enjoy the Show   Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg's blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: [email protected]

• Paul Kearns in Tel Aviv - Peace At Last

  On today's podcast I chat once again with Paul Kearns, urban planner, author and journalist who has been living in Tel Aviv with his young family for the last 8 years. Paul brings us his insights from inside Israel since the Trump brokered cease fire - were there celebrations, who is credited with the ceasefire, what is the general mood like, what is the current standing of Netanyahu and what will happen with his corruption trial? He spoke about the trauma of this war for those in Israel, for those in Gaza and the West Bank, and how he tries his very best to explain the war to his very curious 9 year old girl. This was a difficult conversation, and in all honesty it is impossible to see a peaceful path forward, but yet, life goes on for everyone who will have to do their best to recover from the psychological trauma of this utterly pointless war. This world of ours has to do a better job in making sure this does not happen again. Just a day after our conversation Gaza was attacked again and over 100 people were murdered.

• Facing fear and living with OCD with Renee Zukin, Author of 'Every Day I'm Brave'

  On today's podcast I chatted with the author of the book 'Every Day I'm Brave', Renee Zukin. Renee talks about her life and career and in particular about the struggles of living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder otherwise known as OCD. For some reason she was always fearful in her life, and when this mum of three was unravelling with malnutrition because of the irrational fear of what might be in her food, she realised that she had to seek much needed help. Eventually she was diagnosed of having OCD, and it was only with a deep understanding of this condition did she learn how to recognise and control it and begin to change her life for the better. This avid writer put pen to paper and wrote the book 'Every Day I'm Brave' to help others who suffer from similar conditions or who are gripped by fear, preventing them from living the full lives they deserve.  Renee says the book is part memoir and in part a practical self help book, and in our conversation she talks about the debilitating effect of "fear" and how you can start to face it, one step at a time.

• David Ellis - When the Spirit World meets the Physical World (Part 2)

  Welcome back to the second part of my conversation with author, restaurateur, healer and teacher David Ellis.    In this episode David explains why he could hear the voices that no one else could hear and the changes this brought to his life. He chats about his spiritual journey, his healing work and that of the Atlantis Institute and he also has a very honest conversation about the challenges of living as part of a gay couple in a world where acceptance is often just polite lip service to an inclusive idea.

• David Ellis - from Hatchet Man to Heartfullness

  On today's podcast I chatted with author, restaurateur, healer and teacher David Ellis. David is a former client of ours and after a brief amount of work that we did for him way back in the very dark Celtic tiger crash days, a friendship developed. David's story is extremely interesting, and in the very competitive and demanding hospitality sector he went from being the emotionless hatchet man to being someone that his colleagues could barely recognise. After his father passed away something very strange and quite unbelievable happened to him, which changed the course of his life. Let's hear that story...    Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg's blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: [email protected]
