About this episode
Oh you know how we are. Those people that live by the power of a written word. I've always been connected to the book. I just didn't make it as public as I do today. It became my calling to stop hiding. My preacher friends or those extremely close to the message warned me of the changes and how those around us will have opinion. On this podcast I step through that learning hoop by opening a conversation based not on religion but rather spirituality. I love Jim Carey's quote, "I'm a Jesus freak. I'm Buddhist. I'm Hindu. I'm everything!" The quote I laid into the veins of a living tree this past summer paints the image of my journey as being a spiritual man that doesn't where religion on his sleeve. Try that line out with the Sunday teachers. You know whats funny? The thought is supported. I expected friction. I was letting down the calling. Nope not really. Turning your gifts of life into a conversation that can help free someone from depression is your community. You don't know it all but you do know something. The joy you feel in your walk and way through creating things is actually a brilliant word to be heard. Don't hide your love for what you do. Being a cat lover helps heal others. Running at five in the morning will bring peace to those that would like to do it better. Your language on the street is yours to keep. Grow forward and outward. Remove the labels from your sleeves.
