SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS: Reverend Bill McDonald’s Life of Mystical Experiences!

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondReverend Bill McDonald has led a fascinating life. From early childhood, spanning over six decades, he has had spiritual and out of body experiences. He performed heroics in Vietnam. He has traveled the world having spiritual experiences and learning. And, he serves veterans and others in his current very busy life, into his 70s.Sitting in the presence of Reverend Bill McDonald is an honor. I spoke with him once after being introduced to him and we recorded a podcast that had some technical difficulties. In spite of his busy schedule, he graciously agreed to re-record the episode. This re-take might be better than the first.  We talked for an hour and a half, with the recording on. We talked for another half an hour after I stopped the recording. I could talk to Rev Bill all day.  I know a 90-minute commitment of your time is a lot to ask. So, I'd like to suggest taking the episode in chunks. You have to stay until the end to hear his "Naadi Palm" story, the craziest psychic reading I've ever heard (one recorded hundreds of years before his birth and spot-on for his current life).  for more information on Rev Bill see:   🤠 https://www.revbillmcdonald.comfor more information see me at: 📚 https://www.grief2growth.com to book a free half-hour consultation visit: ⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-... find me on Facebook at: 👍🏾 https://www.facebook.com/grief2growthcommunityVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.

TO MEDITATE OR NOT? Exploring Different Perspectives with Bridgett Tulloh!

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondBridgett Tulloh is a life coach, business coach, and the host of the podcast "The Truth About Living". I've known Bridgett for over a year now.  We have had several in depth conversations.A while ago she posted something on her Facebook wall about meditation and it not necessarily being for everyone. Bridgett approached our conversation from that point of view. Bridgett is a long time meditator and has even taught meditation. But, she gave it up. I told her I'd love to have a conversation with her about meditation and how it works for me. So, we had that conversation, and we recorded it for your listening pleasure.We started out with a bit of a difference of opinion. I think we each made some good points. I hope you'll find the conversation beneficial as you decide what role meditation should or should not play in your life.You can find Bridgett at:https://www.thetruthaboutliving.comfor more information see me at:📚 https://www.grief2growth.comto book a free half hour consultation visit:⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentaryfind me on Facebook at:👍🏾 https://www.facebook.com/grief2growthcommunityVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.

MEDIUMSHIP and THE BIBLE: Debunking Myths with Daniel

Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respondI met Daniel when we were both doing volunteer work for Voice of Our Angels. I hosted a gallery reading he did for those parents. I immediately knew I liked this guy.

In this interview, we discuss extensively whether the Bible prohibits mediumship and whether Christians should consider consulting with a medium. We talk about what mediumship is and isn't and how we can all improve our ability to connect across the veil. We also talk about how upcoming book which sounds like it's going to be a good one.You can find Daniel at https://www.danieljohnmedium.com/ His new studio, located in Geneva, NY is at: https://www.thezomestudio.com/Visit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store I'm excited to announce a new resource I'm very proud of.
