Confessions of a Creative Conversationalist

How's your adult friendships doing? Are they beautiful and fulfilling? Empty and frustrating? Or is it... complicated? Whatever your experience, in today's confession, we talk about the general state of adult friendships between men and women, some awkward critiques on both, and what we could do to appraise and improve our connections with the people we call friends - have a seat! __________ Addit...

One of my biggest pivots is currently moving from a state of limerence, to learning real, healthy and wholesome love in romance. This is another one of those episodes: no script, no mic, no edits, just my thoughts out loud in real time. __________ ALL MUSIC CREDIT GOES TO remdolla (remdollamusic@gmail.com)

To live alone, or not to live alone? That is the question! Take the answer from somebody who’s experienced both sides: there’s a beautiful , miserable art to living alone , you surely don’t get one without experiencing the other , and in today’s episode, we’re gonna talk about that and the importance of rooting yourself in community. Share your thoughts on this episode in the comments!

You ever tried to answer the question, 'why romantic relationships can't work nowadays'? I think about these questions all the time, and every so often, I am caught expressing my thoughts out loud. This interlude represents one of those times - no script, no mic, no edits, just my thoughts out loud in real time. Tell me what you think.

If I cannot control my urges to be sexual with someone, or publish explicit content of myself, then I AM NOT FREE... I am bound by my own desires. But of coarse! The sexual "liberation" crowd would rather have me believe that this is freedom. In today's episode, I make a confession arguing against this growing belief, and why it its actually a dirty lie.

As promised, a spoken word poem... from a heart that is doubtfully sure.

After taking an extended break, I'm back with another full episode, and today, I'm igniting another confession that is close to my heart, even though it invites a little contention...I’ll put it in these words: girls need Fathers too . Be sure to share your thoughts with me below!

As promised, a spoken word poem.

There tend to be some problems around child stars that make me question whether or not we should even be supporting them as a society. Unfortunately, it’s not just music and entertainment. There are more important, more pressing issues we need to pay closer attention to, and in today’s confession we do just that, using old boy band Mindless Behaviour as an example. Be sure to share your own though...

I’ve recently been experiencing some creative burn-out. This has obviously meant that my productivity, particularly as it relates to my writing; tweeting or recording, has absolutely crashed so … I COME BAACK! And, what better place to start a conversation than to speak, in short, about how my experience affected me, and the simple solution myself and many others tend to overlook.

Do we give whatever we can every time? Is their unfamiliarity too big a risk to even try to engage them? Are we more convinced by their efforts to survive more than their begging? And even if we do help, how far does helping truly go? Should that even matter? Whatever your context, I am sure that you have encountered a homeless people problem. So join me in this latest confession, as I introspect...

For those who will avoid Valentine's Day, those who have grown to reject it and those who may honestly want to have someone to embrace today but will be without, for reasons within and beyond their control: I see you. And my heart is with you. - Affectionately ,     Martin King

Mike Todd, the lead Pastor of Transformation Church, has been making one too many headlines in Christian media. Personally, I love the man so I've been rightly concerned, but in today's top-of-the-head episode, I explain why none of my concerns warrant labelling him a false teacher. Believers and non-believers are welcome to listen to this, as it's sure to ignite a thoughtful conversation. Connect...
