#343 Charlie on The "Other" Christmas Story
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Stumbling and Bumbling Along Oh my… This podcast regarding the birth narrative of Jesus is raw. Filled with ah’s and uh’s and so’s. Longer periods of silence. Very “not professional.” And yet it is filled with truth about the humble ways of the Divine. God is not so much interested in pretty presentations as He is in powerful truths underlying the presentations. It is about the message and not the medium, because the actual medium is the Spirit of God. She grabs the message and places it into the hearts of the listeners. That means the message is not about me, it is about...

#341 Caitlyn Cogan Doemner: Social Justice Begins with You
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes On today’s show my very special guest, Caitlyn Cogan Doemner, and I discuss some ideas that have floating around in my mind for a bit. Ideas about a core philosophy of love, kind of in line with the words of Jesus about loving your neighbor… ... only I want to be rather specific when my neighbor is the one struggling at the bottom level of Maslow’s hierarchy—those with access to water, food, shelter, warmth, and clothing. Those I refer to as the poor and disenfranchised. Here’s how I began my latest blog written the day after the election...

#340 Terry Hershey: The Ordinary is the Hiding Place of the Holy
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Well, we’re finally back with our dear friend Terry Hershey. The topic we will chat about today is the role of the ordinary—the everyday—in the lexicon of spirituality. For most of us, the idea of the Divine is often thought of a special, unique, and oft times spectacular occurrences. When the truth is God is most frequently found in ordinary occasions of work and play and familiar relationships. The word “epiphany” comes to mind which we understand “seeing God” in the miraculous or the special. But the dictionary definition simply means a...

The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today we revisit Wendy Hooper Ross to conclude our show on the subject of Understanding Fear. Wendy is an expert in residential real estate (as you discovered in Part One last week), but it is also obvious that Wendy is an expert on life, from both the thinking and feeling perspectives. Last week we started out to talk about fear in life as we considered four areas: home ownership, relationships, careers, and voting in this next presidential election. We discussed, in depth, the self-fulfilling negative downward spiral that leads to our frustrating...

#336 Wendy Hooper Ross: Understanding Paralyzing Fear
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today I visit with a recent guest Wendy Hooper Ross. Wendy is an expert in residential real estate. She devotes much of her time to understanding the current and future states of the real estate market in the United States. Her insights are brilliant. Now, while in our conversations about real estate, Wendy and I happened to land on the subject of the role of fear and control in the hearts of Americans. As we chatted, I realized this is a topic we need to discuss on The Next Chapter with Charlie because it impacts everyone’s life in one way or another. So,...

#335 Craig Meriwether: Take Back Control of Your Life
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes One thing I find about my life today… I live in a world of distractions. I may have plans for the day, but other stuff just seems to come up. First there are the external distractions of emails, phone calls, unexpected appointments and less than important interruptions. But even more disrupting are the Internal Distractions of fear and anxiety and feelings of overwhelm—all resulting in a lack of confidence. It’s surprising we get anything done in any given day. Our special guest today, hypnotherapist Craig Meriwether, not only understands these issues, but he...
