#133 Fr Robert Edwards Advent Week II: Humility
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today begins our 2nd show with Fr Robert Edwards of St Margaret’s Episcopal Church. We are having a discussion on the 4 weeks of Advent. Since Advent celebrates the coming or arrival of the Christ in the bodily form of Jesus, the man, I think this is a perfect opportunity to examine how the birth of Jesus has impacted all humanity for the past 2000 years or so. On the last show we discussed the idea of how, in order to receive light, there must first be darkness—physical, emotional and spiritual. In the holy text it says of Jesus, “out of darkness came the...

#132 Fr Rob Advent Week 1: Darkness to Light
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes People will often ask me, “What is your podcast about?” I usually say something like, “Well… it’s all about how you might take on the next chapter to your life, whatever that may be.” I then laugh and say, “Truthfully, the show really is all about whatever I feel like discussing with a given guest.” And today is no exception. Today I will begin a 4-week series on the most exciting subject of Advent, all recorded during the Advent season of 2019. Now I now advent is not top of mind for anyone, save clergy and I am not even convinced of that. But I hope you find...

#131 Terry Hershey: This Is the Life
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Guess what? Our good friend Terry Hershey has a new book titled “This Is the Life.” I just received a copy a couple days ago and have read through it. It is really good. I think the subtitle explains much about the content: The full title reads, “This Is the Life: Mindfulness, Finding Grace and the Power of the Present Moment.” I know much has been written on mindfulness and living in the present, but Terry indeed offers a fresh perspective on the subject. For me, it is NOT so much a “how to” book and is it a “why to” book. I found the book a most refreshing...

#130 Will Crist - Transitions and Life Goals
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes I believe our show today is the most unusual one I have ever done. The reason is, I know almost nothing about our guest today, Will Crist, except that we have experienced some similar paths in our background. He is a priest; I was a minister. He is a consultant and executive coach; I was a consultant and executive coach; and he currently has his own podcast titled, “The Pilgrim on the 405.” So you get to be part of an unrehearsed and almost totally unprepared conversation between two guys who have experienced life through three similar and unique combinations of life...

#129 Charlie- Where Do You Reside: Past, Present or Future?
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Hi Paul, it’s good to be here with you once again at OC Talk Radio. In today’s show I intend you and I get a bit philosophical. I’d like to explore the inter-relationship of past, present and future. Although we technically life in the present… it is fleeting and can always change (sometimes drastically) almost in an instant. When you think a bit about it, it is crazy. The present is instantly becoming the past as it coincidently almost immediately turns out to be the future as well. I look at it this way: the past informs our actions in the present and future, the...

#128 Diane Forster: Reinventing Your Life
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes NOTE: I mispronounced the last name of my guest at the top of the show. It is Diane "Forster," not Foster. So sorry. cbh I have a very special guest today with whom I have much in common. She is Intentional Living Expert, Diane Forster. I really resonate with her title: Intentional Living Expert. Check this out: Did you know that 70% of people in the United States are unhappy? That depression and anxiety are at an all time high? That suicides are up 30% since the year 2000, and a staggering 50% for women? And kids as young as 10 are fall prey to suicide. That was Diane’s...

#127 Charlie: An International Crisis-Diarrhea and Infant Mortality
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today’s show will be a bit different from our normal “interview” format. Today I want to talk about how to begin saving the lives of more than 800,000 children under 5 worldwide. Although my focus will be on the country of Uganda win which I have worked for the last 3 years. Last night I was watching a documentary on Netflix, titled “Decoding Bill’s Brain,” which is all about Bill Gates. While I thought the documentary would be kind of an overview of Bill Gates’ accomplishments a neuro-processes, it turned out to be quite different. About half the...

#126 Terry Hershey: Soft Hearts-Windows to the Soul
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today we are with our friend Terry Hershey and I would like to talk about his most recent Sabbath Moment post titled, See With Our Heart. Only I want to expand the topic to include how a Soft Heart can open a Window to Your Soul. Throughout my life I have discovered, every now and again, moments that I call “Windows to My Soul.” Typically these moments occur for me when my heart is softened or even broken. Weddings are often joyful moments that soften my heart and allow me a moment to see past my conscious self and grant me entrance through those thin places...

#125 Tim Timmons: Netflix’s “The Family” and “Jesus Plus Nothing"
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Let me tell you Paul I am most excited about our show today with our very special guest, Tim Timmons—a man that shaped the fundamentals of my Christian belief system so profoundly that I still follow the precepts he taught me almost 40 years ago. Now, forgive me for the, abut to come, longer than usual introduction but it is necessary to establish a context for our conversation with Tim. In 1980, as a man leaning more toward atheism than any other faith system, I found myself in a challenge that required me to read a couple books in the Bible as means to disprove the...

#124 Nick Jordan- Passion with a Purpose
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Hey Paul, it’s great to be here with you again at OC Talk Radio after a couple weeks off as I was working in Uganda, Africa. There is nothing that enriches my soul more than serving the poorest of the poor—people that live on less than $2.00 per day in the most rural of villages. And believe me, rural is grossly understated. They live on dirt floors in one-room homes with no electricity, no running water, no toilet and most often 10 to 20 miles from any form of a somewhat urban town. Today I’m visiting with a fellow traveller CEO and Founder of Wells of Life, Nick...
info_outlineMy guest today is our good friend, Terry Hershey. If you’re a frequent listener of show then you’re familiar with Terry Hershey, who is a regular guest on the show. Terry is a prolific writer, conference keynote speaker, renowned landscape architect, and spiritual advisor.
Today, I want to chat with Terry about a quote I read from Epicurus: “The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.”
Instead of a long explanation of our subject I want to jump right into it.
