24/7 Christian Online Resources for England
You don't have to be a Christian to benefit from my informative audio or solution oriented books. Just someone looking for real answers.
I have been doing this as a volunteer for 23 years.
How it all started.
It all started with my radio program. One day I walked into the offices of KEST Radio in San Francisco and inquired about buying air time. I don't know why I did, just intuition or inspiration, I guess. I never had been on the radio before. The people at the station were helpful and I went ahead and bought some air time and before you know it, I was behind a microphone for the first time in my life.
I've been on the air ever since. I talked to people about being more forgiving, about being patient with their kids, about how to start letting go of anger.
I saw that people need help calming down and becoming objective and unemotional. People need to be able to stand back and look calmly at what is bothering them. But most people can't. They are lost in thinking, constantly pulled on by distractions, and generally lost in a drug induced or emotional fog.
This makes them confused and anxious when they see how out of control they are. Unfortunately medication and self medication only increase the fog and lead to other issues too. They try anything from yoga to exercise to various groups, but mostly these are palliative care.
These things help help a little, even a lot, but are they not THE answer. These external remedies relieve symptoms but don't solve the cause. And, unfortunately, these things also tend to be distractions from the heart of the matter.
Like i said, I saw that people need help calming down and looking at issues objectively. So I took the kind of Christian mindfulness meditation that helped me, put it in my own words, and began to send it to people for free or a small donation (back then people did not download from the computer like we do now - I sent an audio cassette tape).
Next I saw that people wanted some supplemental reading material - so I began to write. Now I have 14 books on stress management, finding your true purpose in life, overcoming mental health issues, and healing relationships available online at Amazon and other places.
Here's what we've got
Free podcasts of my weekly radio program. There is a lot of noise out there. Lots of words and lots of palliative care. I tell you the truth. If I do say so myself, it is very refreshing.
Meditations, meditation, meditations. Stressed? Confused? Nervous? Lost touch with your intuition and creativity? Got baggage from the past? I've been developing these meditations for over 22 years.
"Pray for me." I answer prayer requests free. In fact, I LOVE pray requests. I personally read prayer requests and pray for you.
I'll send you a blessing if you need one and ask for one. Just tell me what you want to have blessed.
Angry or upset all the time. I've got resources and meditations and books too If you have issues with emotions (like anger, unhappiness, resentment, fears, anxiety), helping people cope and conquer negative emotions is what I've been doing for over two decades.
