Riffing on Eckhart Tolle's best seller book, "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose". I critique its philosophy, using the passing of my pet of fourteen years, Augi, for emotional examples. 

I chat on select quotes from "The Hour of Testing". 

My Notes on Ralph Martin’s Book: “Fulfillment of All Desire” Pages: 2, 153: Holiness is willing as God wills; that’s our life goal.  3, 141, 231: Now that Christendom is no longer a dominant force in western civilization, Christians must live their faith deeply and deliberately. Eliminate non-essentials to make room for God; this detachment isn’t an end in itself, but prepares one for a greater lo...

I read the album's lyrics and briefly discuss my purpose and songwriting approach for this album.  Here's a link to my Blog post on my RCSS 6 release. It has related links.

I reads selections from the Westiminster Catechism, as a Catholic, in a friendly and unstructured manor. 

This is based on my blog post about my plan for RCSS 4. I mostly talk about the physical being related with the spiritual, though.  https://birgittaville.com/2025/05/31/strategy-for-my-fourth-album-release/

I go a bit into the weeds about using chord progressions, DAWs, Ace Studio, Berlin Symphonia with MuseScore, Hub with Reaper...but also read the song titles and choruses on my soon released third album: "Relevant Christian Song Sketches".  This YouTube video shows my recording setup. Here are a couple streaming platforms carrying my album: Apple Music Spotify Links to the audio tools I used : Dist...

I read Bible passages for overcoming naivete in evangelizing those whom God lovingly gave his Son for:  Romans 1:28-32; 2 Timothy 3:2,3; Jude 1:23; Mathew 7:6; Proverbs 9:7,8; 23:9.  (I couldn't resist playing with MuseScore Studio and Ace Studio.) 

I read a couple pages from "Acts of the Apostles, Catholic Commentary of Sacred Scripture".  (I'm using this for learning to use Spitfire Audio with Reaper DAW.) 

We casually mention some positive and some negative aspects of AI, like ChaptGPT and NotebookLM, for culture and for the Christ's Church. 

Follow this link to my Blog pos t, giving the links I mention.  https://birgittaville.com/2024/11/24/st-larry-norman-vs-big-eva-muzac/ 

I explain myself--why I haven't been uploading for the last six months: I've done eight podcasts with Rev. David Minard (see link from Birgittaville.com) I've completed two albums, "Relevant Christian Song Sketches" 1 and 2 (find them on iTunes and all major music streamers). I've had outings, doing Saint Paul Street Evangelization (see Birgittaville.com/SPSE-GR)  I've begun playing piano and viol...

Reading excerpts from "The Iron Sceptre of the Son of Man," Alan Fimister. On Catholic eschatology

Hope this encourages you as you recover, Steve, on this frigid winter night!

In case I don't make it to ICU at the hospital, in time to see my big brother Steven John Anderson, here's my goodbye. I love you Steve! Thanks for always being there for me. I've looked up to you and relied on you all my sixty one years. Until we meet again.

Pastor Ron Charles gives the alter call and Timothy Brewer leads worship, after my sermon on Love. This is from my Assemblies of God days, as a 25 year old Youth and Associate pastor at New Life Assembly, Oregon, OH.

Here is a much better recording of this podcast, in three sections (without the wind noise): https://bethelgilead.org/uploads/3/5/6/6/35662031/protestantism_to_catholicism_part_1.mp3 https://bethelgilead.org/uploads/3/5/6/6/35662031/protestantism_to_catholicism_part_2.mp3 https://bethelgilead.org/uploads/3/5/6/6/35662031/protestantism_to_catholicism_part_3.mp3

I rant about the popular trend of women dressing immodestly and Molech worship. My brief guitar playing brakes up the talking segments.
