My new book - Inner Discipling
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
In this excerpt we are entering the main idea of the book and its method. Inner Discipling is the idea of taking Jesus' work with the Disciples and reproducing this teaching internally.
I am also touching on the therapy method of growth. It's a process I have used for many years and helps us make a good start on the progress we want to make.

My new book - working with your parts
Monday Feb 13, 2023
Monday Feb 13, 2023
So here we are at the heart of this approach! It is at this stage that we begin the real journey! I am reading from another section of the book and offer an exercise that I often use with my clients. Remember to be patient with yourself as you try this. It is very typical for people to revert back to the medical model when they start.
This is because we are saturated in this iew of ourselves and it is often the only way we can think of making sense of ourselves. Don't worry! This is a journey and you ahave made a start.

My new book - Your relationship with yourself
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Friday Jan 20, 2023
In this section I am reading from the last part of the book before we get into the main method. So there is a lot of emphasis on the relationship with yourself. Unless we get the relationship with ourselves right, we cannot hope to create the type of inner harmony needed to make spiritual progress.
Whatever your issues, making progress in your inner life will help you to outgrow them.

My New Book - The medical Model
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
In this section of the book, I am looking at the contrast between how the medical model defimes us, and who the Bible says we are. You may be shocked to find, not only how much of your thinking about yourself is based on mans wisdom, but how much of these ideas have got into the Churches teaching.
Never before have we had the tools that neuroscience offers us. It is clear to me that in this way science is now catching up with the Bible by proving what the Bible says about us. That we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that we are Gods masterpiece.

My New Book - The Prodigal
Friday Dec 30, 2022
Friday Dec 30, 2022
In this third session, I am reading from the main body of the book which covers the dysfunctional pattern that I see every day in my work. The same pattern that Jesus was talking about in Luke 15, the famous Parable of the Lost Son.
It's a long episode so I don't add much to the reading, except to underline things from my own experience and to highlight the difference between the Biblical approach and the Medical approach.
Hope you get something from it. You will be able to preorder the Book early in the New Year.

In this eposode we are looking at making a clear distinction between healing - which comes from God, and recovering or growing - which comes from you! There are also a few things that might just challenge you as a Christian and what you have been taught. Enjoy!

Monday Nov 28, 2022
Monday Nov 28, 2022
In this new series I am reading from a copy of my new book. The working title is 'I'm a Christian, so why am i still...'. I want you to add your own ending to this title. If there are still things that irritate you about yourself, and this doesn't have to be outright addiction or dependence! Then this book will be for you. We hope to make this book available in the Spring of 2023 but, until then, I wll be reading from it and speaking to some of the ideas. Enjoy!

Consciousness and the observer position
Monday Aug 22, 2022
Monday Aug 22, 2022
I've written a post on this but thought that some would prefer the audio! So here is a podcast based on some of the findings of neuroscientists recently. Namely that your consciouseness could not have come from your brain! Of course our main interest is in how can we use the observer position and consciousness to make progress.
Here is a link to the article.

Awareness Acceptance Action - Our main method revisited
Wednesday Aug 10, 2022
Wednesday Aug 10, 2022
There are other episodes which offer a more basic description of this method but, in revisiting the idea I am taking a deeper dive into the ideas around this method and what makes it so effective.
I looking at awareness and how precious a gift it is I want to go beyond the basic ideas of self awareness of what we are thinking and feeling to include the idea of relational self awareness, encouraging you to ask the question "what is it like to be around me"?

Sunday Apr 03, 2022
In this episode I interview Dave A who has been using the A2R method for about a year now. We look at this background and upbringing as well as the things he tried before discovering the A2R approach.
We then look at the difference he has found in using this approach and why he believes it has worked for him.
