Episode Description
What is happening within Christianity today? Some say it is changing--but how? Some say it is becoming more entrenched in bigotry. Some say it is dying. My guest today is Bishop John Shelby Spong who has served many years in the Episcopal church. Some of his books are Why Christianity Must Change or Die, A New Christianity for a New World, Here I Stand: My Struggle for a Christianity of Integrity, Love and Equality, and more. Why has Christianity seldom been known as a world-class example of loving others? This and many other insights will be discussed.
Beyond Religion: Your Life is Waiting

Our show is designed to contribute to the healing of those wounded by dogma and shame. I know the beauty and power of the Aramaic language and I’ll share that in the context of sharing with you that your life is your choice and that you can live above smallness and shame. I’ll help you learn how to say goodbye to the old victim energies, and how to awaken to your hidden destiny. You’ll learn how to understand your own “shadow” self and at the same time say goodbye to guilt and remorse. To celebrate all one’s mistakes and learn valuable insights from them is tantamount to claiming your deeper life purpose and giving birth to your most beautiful self. To live in the energy of gratitude and unconditional love makes it possible to let go of all that causes pain and suffering and see the gifts in all that has stifled us in victim energies. To help and support you in knowing of and learning to experience the energy of The Divine within you is my goal. In that there is no fear whatsoever.

From time to time a voice comes upon the scene of the human drama and asks questions that are destined to shape anew the way people think, how they live, and what they value. Such a voice is that of Jim Stacey, author of Jesus Was Not A Christian, and ten other books about the Spiritual Adventures of being human. In his first book he dares to call into question what Christianity has been teaching for over 1700 years.
Today, Jim speaks boldly and passionately about the healing deeply needed by humanity. Jim began his doctoral pursuit with a study of the Aramaic language, Jesus’ native tongue. He has been studying the meanings and applications of the Aramaic for fifteen years. Jim delivers a non-religious message of healing, loving, choosing our own destiny, and transforming our human shadow, which is the message from the lost Jesus who said "the kingdom of heaven is WITHIN you."
As a former Christian minister, college professor and businessman, Jim now writes to inspire people to go deeper in their search for knowledge, wisdom and the meaning of their own path in life.
Jim has been honored with the Golden Quill Award from the National Academy of Best Selling Authors. Jim is currently the author of eleven books. To know our Divinity, experience it deep within, and walk together in Love is the essence of the dawning new era. The key to loving all others is to first experience The Divine within ourselves.
