Afraid of Bible Prophecy

5/7/2024
Send us a text Remember that crazy guy with the "End Times" warning blasted from a bullhorn on college campuses? I do. At Indiana University we called him Mad Max. Well, after all this time -- geez, maybe the guy was legit. It's a crazy world out there and no matter what side of the fence you sit on -- liberal/conservative, religious/spiritual, believer/skeptic ... you can't deny we are undergoing either pure chaos or a predetermined destiny. On this episode we talk solar eclipse, CERN, cicadas, and how/if it all ties into biblical prophecy. Take a listen and decide for yourself. After all, we all have free will. BISHOP LARRY RAGLAND Larry Ragland has been serving in pastoral and church ministry for more than 30 years. He is an author and public speaker. Alongside his wife Sandy and their two daughters, he planted Solid Rock Church in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1994. Together they have pastored the same church since its founding.

Afraid of Shared Death

4/30/2024
Send us a text "I am not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens." Woody Allen Tonight's episode is literally a trip. You may have heard about Near Death Experiences (NDEs), but what about Shared Death Experiences (SDEs)? Dr. Scott Taylor has not only had an SDE (a surreal experience of sharing a loved one's death with them, without actually dying); after decades of research Scott has also found a method to visit the Afterlife while we are still breathing. Turns out it is easier than astral projection and less final than death itself. You won't want to miss this episode! ABOUT DR. SCOTT TAYLOR Dr. Scott Taylor is the President of the Expanded Awareness Institute (EAI). EAI helps people interested in near-death and shared death experiences explore what that experience means to them and to our culture as a whole. Scott’s gift is the ability to make the exploration of the nonphysical universe accessible to the curious. Scott is also author and voice of six best-selling CDs of guided meditations on near-death experiences in his Into the Light series (which can be purchased on his website). He is a spiritual teacher, speaker and researcher on near-death experiences.

Afraid of Love in the Afterlife

12/3/2023
Send us a text True love means sticking with a person "till death do us part". But what happens when the human bond of love extends beyond death into the afterlife? The Love Story When Robert (Bob) Possiel scrolled to Jen’s profile on a social media platform, he was just looking for a trainer for his overeager new puppy. A business owner with a great life and two marriages behind him, he wasn’t seeking anything more. But events would soon show Bob that the seemingly chance meeting was not so coincidental after all... and that the bond he and Jen would come to share would transcend struggles, separations, and even themselves in a breathtaking tale of the power of love in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including death. Ruthie Larkin (Beantown Medium) - the psychic medium that Bob consulted - joins us to help tell the story, and unveils how amazing events unfolded in one of her most memorable client cases. About Robert Possiel Robert is a successful entrepreneur, lifelong race car aficionado, and proud Great Dane Dad who never expected to become an author. He also never expected the outcome of an improbable relationship that blossomed into finding his soulmate.

He’s sharing his story to help others find inspiration during their own life challenges. He especially hopes to lighten the grief for those who have had a similar experience in losing the love of their lives. hardcoverpaperbackebookloveisalwaystheanswerbook.comAbout Ruthie Larkin (Beantown Medium) Ruthie Larkin has had psychic and healing abilities since childhood.
