Alternative To Rehab

In this session we spend some time connecting the ideas of the spirit with the flesh and the flesh with the spirit. This was done to ensure that the elements of spiritual progress do not become disconnected with earthly problems. If we allow this disconnection then challenges can become temptations rather than trials. In other words, we can shrink rather than grow. So Challenges are going to happe...

In this, the third session in Module Three, we look deeper into what it is that helps us cope well with the reality of 'normal life'. From Matthew 5:37 and let your yes be yes and your no be no, all the way to assessing the equality of our relationships from a perspective of avoiding looking down on someone or looking up to them. Another aspect of this video is from 1 Peter 2:15, which encourages...

In this session we continue to support people in coping with normal life responsibilities. Using Matthew 5 and verse 37 we look at the idea of saying and meaning 'yes' and 'no', and how this relates to our attitudes and beliefs as they construct our relationships. We then take a deeper look at the idea of 'oaths' or 'swearing by something'. Jesus says that this comes from the evil one and we show...

In this Module we are going to be looking at the 'ground floor'. I call this the floor of normality, which can cause some people difficulties right of the bat. "What is normal anyway"? Whose normal etc. We keep this very simple and talk about things that pretty much everyone would consider part of, or within the parameters of, normal life. Paying bills, being where you said you would be, doing wha...

In this final session of Module Two we confirm that we are prepared to build what is seen on what is unseen. Our foundation will not be seen by anyone but you and the Lord! We also explore the idea of identity through Gods creation of family. When we see our identity this way, things become simpler and more ordered. We also look at the way you beome indistinguishable from God when we say his word,...

This is the third session of our second Module - Foundation. In this session of live teaching at the message Trust https://maps.app.goo.gl/dS331ujc4KJTTAhq7 We think of rooms as individual relationships, which then produce personal responsibilities. This links to the idea of identity, which a lot of people struggle with. This Bible based approach says that your identity is formed by your roles in...

We are now in the middle of the second module of four on this course. This one is called the ground floor. I call it the ground floor of 'normality' because it is built on the foundation and it supports the first floor of vision and ministry. In this live teaching session you will learn valuable and important guidance on how to begin working with your first 'part', following the ideas of unblendin...

This is the first of the second module live teaching sessions. Following the first module on preparation, the second module will focus on building a solid and stable foundation on which to build our new life. Using Jesus' teaching from Matthew 7 and verse 24 onwards we will be encouraging people to build our house upon the 'rock' of the word of God. If you would like the book which accompanies thi...

In this episode of live teaching we look at the question of LOCATION in considering building a new life. When we consider moving house, the question of who you will be moving away from, and who you will be moving closer to, should be considered. Even though our new house will be a metaphor (as used by jesus in Matthew 7:24) the question is still relevant. It is likely that the changes you want to...

In this video we approach the idea of preparation from the first of three main questions, namely cost. What are you wanting to achieve as part of your spiritual development? Whatever it is for you personally, the preparation you make will be a huge factor in your results. Spiritual progress is difficult if you do not understand the difference between the flesh and the spirit, and especially diffic...

Thought you might be interested in my interview with Andy Campsall. Listeners will learn some of my background that led to me doing the work I do and teaching this stuff. Thanks again for taking the time.

In this episode we take the idea of transcendence and open up what it means, how it relates to the idea of overcoming that we get from the Bible, and what it might mean for your progress, development and recovery. The Bible says that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord is an overcomer, but some Christians don't always feel this way. Especially when things don't go well, or they are disappoi...

Following a trip to the William Wilberforce Museum I wanted to discuss the idea of rights and responsibiities from a Christian perspective. I'm including the subject of slavery as well as some of the consequences of getting this balance wrong. This is not the final word on this subject, but maybe a starting point for you to consider these complex questions. Below i a link to the Wilberforce story...

In this episode we take a look at where and when personal responsibility should take place over deendency on God. Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. He's both, not just one or the other. We ask the question, have you got the balance right? Has your Church?  We also offer a few tips on how to grow towards the correct balance point. I really hope you get a lot from this. If you want further information...

In this episode I am reading from my new, soon to be published book "I'm a Christian, so why am I still..." This is a section from the final Chapter, chapter 12. In this chapter we are looking at how to personalise this approach, as well as some tips for making progress, and some important methods going forward. I then speak about the ideas in the chapter and in the book generally. I do hope you h...

One of the more common mistakes I see in Christians of all levels of experience is not making a clear enough distinction between salvation as an event and transformation as a process. In my work I have a saying "God does the healing and we do the recovery". In this episode you will hear how these things are different and how not making that clear distinction can lead to major difficulties in your...

What is your expectation of life? When so many modern messages are telling you that you should be having a care free, exciting life without any problems, it's understandable that you may be disappointed with your life and what you can achieve. In this episode we take a look at what the Bible says about this life and what to expect. having lined ourselves up with the truth, it will become a lot eas...

In this Chapter I share some experiences from my own journey of recovery and development, particularly about the effect of this approach on both my personal experience, as well as my expereince as a therapist. It amazes me every time I work with someone in this way. To see the transformation of experience every time someone is brave enough to begin the work of recovery. I hope that listening to so...
