Are we talking to the people in front of us or the events behind us? In this episode, Rev. Deborah discusses the tendency to react immediately to what we hear, or what we think we hear. Who are you talking to and who are you hearing? Do we respond to what people say, how they say it, or do we react to their words, filtered through our experiences? How often do our conversations with one person become a conversation with different person whose words deeply affected us? Dive into the discussion with Rev. Deborah to discover how our experiences shape what we hear on a daily basis.

How do you know if you are succeeding at being spiritual? Does falling short of your spiritual ideas make you a spiritual imposter? In “Am I a Spiritual Imposter?” Rev. Deborah Phillips examines the dynamics behind this feeling: discomfort with being human, the tendency to compare ourselves to others, our level of Should and Have-to. Join Rev. Deborah for insights into how these dynamics came into being and how we can transcend them and be the most real person we can be.

Join Rev. Deborah Phillips as she uncovers our fear of grief and how we try to run from the pain of loss. In this episode you will learn that the “7 stages of grief” is a myth and trying to adhere to stages only keeps us stuck longer. When we participate in our own grief, allow ourselves to feel, we release pent up energy, thus clearing the mind and heart. It is then that we are able to move forward as the divine spiritual beings that we are.

New Thought teaches that there is good to be found in every circumstance. But does it mean that if we “live right” we won’t ever have problems? In “Remembering Your Good” Rev. Deborah Phillips explains that living in a material world means that there will always be challenges, but there are ways to discover good in almost any circumstance. It is when we forget who we are, divine beings with enormous inner power, that we cannot see the good in our lives. Join Rev. Deborah for this lively discussion that also offers a simple exercise to help you remember and reclaim your inner self.

Hold or Fold is a poker term that is often used as a metaphor for making decisions in life. In this episode, Rev. Deborah Phillips uses this metaphor to examine how we can understand what is ours to do and release the rest without guilt, fear, or shame. When we develop appropriate boundaries in our lives, we have more mental, emotional, and spiritual space which then allows our true Selves to emerge. When our true Selves emerge, our lights shine, and we are a gift to the world.

Rev. Deborah Phillips discusses the difference between being secure with your relationship with the Divine, what she calls Spiritual Confidence, and spiritual arrogance. Spiritual arrogance is a sign of inner stagnation, the need to live from the outside in, from ego, and the need to always be right. Spiritual Security gives you a sense of well-being, safety, and confidence. You live from the inside out. When you are spiritual secure you don’t have to prove your beliefs, or your Self, to anyone else. Tune in to explore the advantages of living with love and confidence in your own Divine Nature.

The Law of Attraction is a standard teaching within New Thought. In The Myth of the Law of Attraction, Rev. Deborah Phillips explores the mixed message which says everything we need is right here, right now then turns around and tells us how hard we must work to attract that very same “stuff.” If modern physicists are correct, that everything exists in potentiality, then perhaps is it is more a matter of choosing than “attracting from afar.” Is the Law of Attraction a myth or is there another way to look at it? Tune in, Rev. Deborah’s conclusion might surprise you.
