Pastoral and Spiritual Counseling and Coaching Seattle

First I want to keep it simple and tell you exactly what services we have. I offer pastoral counseling by live chat or phone. Save money and time. You can talk to me right from the convenience of your home or office.



I officially retired, but I'm still here! Now that I am retired I have more time, so I will continue to be here if you need me and if people respond with questions, feedback and support.  

Free chat is to ask a question for educational purposes. Free chat is also for good people around the world who can't afford anything. Remember, free chat is for a quick answer or tweet type answer or a link to a resource. 

Free chat is NOT for counseling.  No emergencies and no abuse, violence, or domestic abuse issues. Just a question for educational purposes. Scroll down for more information about free chat or look in the right sidebar for the link.

I also have podcasts of radio lectures and sermons.

Listen to Roland on the radio every Sunday afternoon at 2 PM on KKNW 1150 AM 

For those who have an issue they want to find out about spiritual coaching or mentoring, I have some limited availability at my virtual office at Liveperson.

For most issues, you might find answers and insights by listening to my radio programs or reading some of my books. In fact,why not listen to some free audio of my radio program and look inside some of my books first. That's why I have self help resources at www.commonsensecounseling.org


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 less upset. 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 16 books on stress management, finding your true purpose in life, overcoming mental health issues, and healing relationships available online at  Amazon and other places. 

So here I am, a volunteer to the world.

My avatar is a great guy and he means well but he is a bit long winded and doesn't always get right to the point. So before he takes over, I would like to get a word in edgewise.

Here's what we've got

Free chat (and now Customer Service too!)

Okay, just what is free chat?

Free chat is click on the icon in the right sidebar (Pastor is in!  or Got a Question Instant Answers!). Ask a quick question. Find out our hours or services. Ask a life question. Ask a Bible question.

If I am here, you can ask me a question and have a dialogue with texting.  Cool!

But remember, it is just for educational purposes, not for coaching or counseling. 

 (you must be 18. No emergencies and no abuse or domestic abuse issues)

Free podcasts of my weekly radio program.  Good info and nice bumper music too! 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 24 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.

If you are stressed out and would like to try a short 5 minute Meditation Stress Fix
right now I have made it FREE

Relationship issues, marriage issues, courtship issues?   I've got a site just for you and books too.



 (When you send a donation to get a free eBook, 25 cents out of every dollar I donate to animal shelters for dogs and cats without a home)


 Blessings!
Pastor Roland
