Episode 18: "“How this Jackson Pollock style ‘Drip’ Painting is Helping to Root out Racism.”

Episode 18: "“How this Jackson Pollock style ‘Drip’ Painting is Helping to Root out Racism.”
The 5’x5’ painting titled Out of the Box (done in the "drip" style of Jackson Pollock) is helping to bring attention to a new art movement I’m developing called Totalityism. (The painting can be seen at ). The art movement is different from art movements of the past like Impressionism, Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, etc. Totalityism merges art and theology as a catalyst for abandoning attitudes and actions of prejudice on the way to helping root out racism in the U.S. As with other paintings Timothy Paulson has done, Out of the Box is part of the work his small art studio in Utah is doing to help lead out in abandoning attitudes and actions of prejudice and help root out racism in the US. He's doing this in part through developing Totalityism — a catalyst for increasing peace, love, and unity.

Episode 17: "This Statue of Liberty Painting is Creating Social Change"
This Statue of Liberty painting, titled "Living to Breathe Free," painted by Timothy Paulson, is creating social change by drawing attention to the Totalityism art movement Paulson created by merging art and theology to help abandon attitudes and actions of prejudice. The painting draws attention to Paulson's pastor friends for how to root out racism, to an article he wrote about this, to this podcast episode, and to promote the Peace, Love, and Unity Pledge Paulson wrote that you can sign (at ). This hard-hitting podcast episode will fill you with thoughts and ideas on how you can help make the world a better place.

Episode 16: "“Here’s How You Can Harness the Energies of Love — and Help Change the World.”

Episode 16: "“Here’s How You Can Harness the Energies of Love — and Help Change the World.”
If want to make a bigger impact in 2024, this will be one of the most important podcast episodes you’ll listen to all year. I painted the picture of Totality shown in the podcast announcement and titled it “Harnessing Love” in tribute to the following quote by Teilhard de Chardin, an 18th and 19th-century French Jesuit priest, paleontologist, and author: “In a coming day, after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” Can you even begin to imagine what it would be like to help harness for God the energies of love — to discover something as impactful to the world as the discovery of fire? That’s what this episode is about.

Episode 15: "The Brave 6-year-old Girl in this Painting Helped Change the World."

Episode 15: "The Brave 6-year-old Girl in this Painting Helped Change the World."
I painted a copy of an iconic image titled "The Problem We All Live WIth" by Norman Rockwell. You can see my copy here in the episode listing - and at . You’ve surely seen it — Norman Rockwell’s iconic painting of Ruby Bridges, the six-year-old African-American schoolgirl escorted by four U.S. Marshals to her first day at the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. She walks past a wall with racist graffiti and the splattering of a thrown tomato. Ordered to proceed with school desegregation after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling, Louisiana finally desegregated on November 14, 1960. Rockwell painted the picture for LOOK Magazine. The six-year-old girl and Rockwell’s painting helped change the world by bringing attention to the ongoing problem of racism. Imagine a little girl walking to school and being subject to all kinds of hatred and vitriol — including thrown tomatoes! The painting helped wake people up to the absurdity of segregation and racism. You'll hear all about the painting and what you can do to help in this episode. You're invited to go to and add your name to the Peace, Love, and Unity Pledge that I wrote. Here’s how you can help: Please go to to add your name to “The Pledge.” Thank you!

Episode 14: Why is this Painting of Gandhi, MLK, and Mandela Considered Such a Dangerous Painting?"

Episode 14: Why is this Painting of Gandhi, MLK, and Mandela Considered Such a Dangerous Painting?"
A painting I did of Gandhi, King, and Mandela looks innocent enough. Why do you suppose it’s so dangerous? (The painting appears in the podcast episode artwork and at .) As it turns out, the painting represents a message that some people have been persecuted and even killed over. In the new art movement of the 21st Century — called Totalityism — my art is a catalyst for helping to root out racism by promoting greater peace, love, and unity. I’ve discovered that it can be dangerous to venture into the conversation about racism and equality. Some suggest I should quietly paint in my studio — portraits, iconic images, and colorful abstract and impressionistic paintings (which I enjoy doing) — and just be an artist. To me, dangerous sermons and dangerous paintings include those where subjects such as racism, oppression, inequality, inequities of the poor, marginalization, and other social issues are addressed. These can be dangerous because they are polarizing. You can say I occasionally preach sermons via my podcasts () —but I may be able to make a more significant difference by painting dangerous paintings like the one featured in this article. I have created a way for you to help WITHOUT it being dangerous for you. It’s to confidentially sign the “Peace, Love, & Unity Pledge,” short and sweet.

Episode 13: “An Avid Art Lover Who Wants to Help Change the World Will Buy this Former $7 Yard Sale Painting — for $1,000,000…”
"An Avid Art Lover Who Wants to Help Change the World Will Buy this Painting — for $1,000,000 and as a result, will help advance ‘The New Art Movement of the 21st Century’ with its mission to help root out racism through greater peace, love, and unity.” From the art studio of Timothy Paulson in Utah comes the painting featured here— titled Rise from the Dust — a catalyst for advancing the new Art Movement with its mission to help root out racism in the U.S. The painting started out as a boring $7-yard sale painting I transformed into the $1 million painting now at the heart of the New Art Movement of the 21st Century. In this episode, you'll discover the painting (it’s an interesting story) and how it is a catalyst for helping to root out racism in the U.S. through increased peace, love, and unity.

Is 'Balm in Gilead' a Fancy New Health Product (or something even better)?
You’ve seen them in ads, infomercials, on the internet, and elsewhere — all kinds of balms such as “Australian Healing Balm,” “Muscle Balm,” “Soothing Balm,” “Herbal Balm,” “Tiger Balm,” “Miracle Balm,” “Tea Tree Balm,” and so on. But…when you hear “Balm of Gilead,” what comes to your mind? On 2/22/22, I retired after 40 years in business to spend the next 40 years in Art & Ministry. I recently studied a biblical verse about “the balm of Gilead,” and because of my business background, it made me wonder, “can this balm be turned into a product today to help relieve physical pain?” In this episode, I share what the balm of Gilead can mean to you — and I’ll tell you more about a cool piece of art that’ll help you to implement an unexpected and powerful idea that “soothes like a beautiful healing balm” through the ups and downs in your life. Mentioned are Vincent Van Gogh, the Bible, Jeremiah the prophet, and more.

Episode 11: "This Painting of Johnny Cash in Folsom Prison Has a Big Life Hidden Success Secret"
"Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.” — Johnny Cash When Timothy first read the above quote, he thought it was funny and smiled. As he reflected on it, he saw that in just 17 words, Johnny Cash actually summarized one of life’s biggest struggles. It’s the struggle between wanting to become the best version of yourself and living a life that falls short of it. Do you ever feel that struggle? It makes one think of an old saying: “Hell on earth would be meeting the person you could have become.” Timothy painted a portrait of Johnny Cash's mugshot from Folsom prison and combined it with a "Burning Ring of Fire" (from his hit song). This led Timothy to discover a success principle hidden in the painting that he shares in this episode. To see the painting this episode refers to, go to and scroll down to the Johnny Cash painting (you'll know it when you see it!). Johnny is surrounded by "burning ring of fire."

This recipe has nothing to do with food —it’s instead a powerful recipe for avoiding failure while enjoying greater success in life. It's about Totalityism —becoming all God created you to be. There are many different recipes in the world. This is not one you’ve heard before.
