103 - Life and Death with Kinzie and Tylor Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

Greetings, congregation! How was everyone's week? Good? Great? Grand? Alrighty then. This week the boys talk all over the place, and Jed kicks off the discussion by playing devil's advocate to the question: if there was no God, what would you do? If you found out there absolutely were no afterlife, would you still be a Christian? Kinzie talks about near-death experiences, and the boys dissect what their ideas of heaven are. Jed also GREATLY misrepresents the atheist point of view..so enjoy that one. churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs

Show notes

Greetings congregation! This week Besh and Jed start things off by talking about the morals and ethics of darknet drug dealers, why 13 Reasons Why is actually making kids kill themselves, and we have a new Patron! (Looking at you, Rich Maggio!) Then in a very special interview, we bring on Maddie Jackson! Aside from being Besh's fiance, Maddie is one of Jed's old friends in sobriety. Maddie tells her story of growing up the child of alcoholics, how she dealt with adulting at an early age, passing finals in blackouts, moving to amphetamines and opiates, and finally getting sober through a spiritual experience involving a priest, a grill, and a psych ward. Then she talks about her new business, The Creative Luminary, where she helps people by creating and facilitating unique 'Spiritual Treatment Plans' tailored to different needs. She's an amazing woman and we believe she's going to do great things! churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs website- http://www.thecreativeluminary.com instagram- thecreativeluminary facebook- The Creative Luminary email- info@thecreativeluminary.com phone number- (302) 803-3200 The Creative Luminary was established as a resource to help individuals become more in tune with their spiritual nature and increase authenticity and wholehearted living in the modern world, through spiritual coaching and Reiki practice. Madeline hopes to create the space for individuals to explore what spirituality means to them and provide resources to help them expand upon these experiences. She emphasizes authenticity and the importance of making conscious decisions that bring individuals in closer companionship to themselves, others, and the Universe. "We are living in an era, where people are waking up to the understanding that life seems to be missing something. People are internally struggling and this is manifesting outwardly in all types of unwanted or harmful behaviors. We are desperate to become more connected to the creativity and Divine within. If we are not learning how to do this, as humans, we will continue to suffer. I am dedicated to helping others find this connection. There is wisdom in truly understanding the battle is within us, not outside us. The spirit is longing to be expressed and when given the opportunity, truly wonderful and meaningful experiences transpire,which bring us in closer companionship with one another.” Madeline Jackson

Show notes

Greetings, congregation! This is why I love the community we've built. Everyone's favorite co-host has been AWOL of late, and a lot of you guys have been asking about him, how he's been doing, etc. So, I finally got him back on the show to talk about what has been happening. Brad relapsed after dental surgery, and moved quickly from pain pills back to meth. Brad talks very candidly about what was going on in his mind that led him to this point, and what he plans on doing going forward. He and I appreciate your continued prayers and well-wishes for him as he goes through this difficult time. We are all in this thing together. churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs
