Boys Have a Penis, Girls Have a Vagina - Episode 55
Gender. What the fuck is it? Biological fact? Something you can "choose"? Does your "gender" differ from your "sex"? How does it affect your reality? Is it a mental health issue? How does it impact our society? We're trying to figure this shit out, together -- with you!

Being Functional in a Dysfunctional World - Episode 54
We're trying to make logical sense of what the fuck our world is turning in to. They scream gun control , to "save" our children, but not when it pertains to saving the life of an unborn child. They say gun control to stop violent crime, but the cities that have the most strict gun laws have the highest violent crime rates.
They say hate "this" person or "that" person based on their race or belief or creed or sexual orientation.
They encourage us to hate our fellow human just because we think differently.
We NEED to have an ACTUAL common sense discussion regarding violent crime, and where it comes from.

Opinions, Cruelty, & The Paradox of Tolerance - Episode 53
Everyone has the right to their opinion, and they're all equal....right? What if someone's opinion allows them to harm another person? Should such an opinion be tolerated? You probably IMMEDIATELY thought, "hell no!". What if I told you that we have been and are being conditioned to tolerate such opinions in society.
But how? Why? To what end? That -- and more -- what we discuss in this episode

Gnostic Cosmology & Alternative Thought with The Juan - Episode 52
Multiple dimensions of existence, King Solomon's magic, Divine Feminine, the Law of Attraction and ooooohhh so many more topics were purposefully left out of what we now call the Christian Bible. But why?
The study of such extra-canonical works is called Gnosticism. The Gnostics and the excluded "false" teachings they studied were deemed heretics by the early Christian church. But why? What harm can asking a few questions be? Sound familiar?
Take the first step off the ledge into the deep dive that is Gnostic Cosmology with Jeffrey and first time guest, The Juan from "The Juan on Juan Podcast". Such a great conversation....and the first of many!

Equality vs Equity...With All Things Being Equal - Episode 51
Equality. Equity. What do these words mean in a social context? That's a question we need to be able to answer considering how hotly they're being thrown around our society, don't ya think?

What do you think about the issue? How would you answer some of these questions? We'd love to hear your thoughts and maybe even have ya on the podcast.

Emotional Triggers, Personality Types, & The Lost Art of Conflict Resolution - Episode 50
Everyone has triggers. Everyone has a definitive personality type. Almost no one seems to be able to resolve conflicts in a healthy way. In this episode we work through an actual real life conflict in almost real time.
It's amazing how interconnected your personality type and emotional triggers are when it comes to the way you approach and, hopefully, resolve conflict....which is a lost art (or is it a skill?) in today's society.
What's your personality type? What are some of your emotional triggers? Have you ever actually explored those things about yourself?

We also discuss a surprisingly little-known fact about the brain that may actually account (or at least play a role) in such a cultural phenomenon. So pack. your bags and let's go on a journey. Won't you be my neighbor?

An Eye-Opening Glimpse Into Being Homeless Through a Convo With a Person Without a Home - Episode 46
Have you ever had a conversation with a "homeless person"? Yeah, me neither....until now. Eye-opening is an understatement. If you don't have a reality check, a few laughs, and probably tear up a time or two from this episode, then you probably don't have a soul to begin with.

Ways to IMMEDIATELY Reduce Stress, Fight Anxiety, and Boost Your Immune System That You've Never Heard Of - Episode 44
What if there was a certain music that you could listen to that had scientifically proven health benefits that include: reduced stress and anxiety, increased immune system function, nervous system health, and hormone balancing.
Sounds too good to be true doesn't it?
Well study after study after study shows that such a music actually exists. And it's not a style of music, but rather a frequency of music. Music tuned to 528 Hz frequency (rather than the normal 440 Hz) has all of the aforementioned affects, plus many more.
Sounds like bullshit doesn't it? Yeah, I thought so too when I first heard it.
Fortunately, I took the time to do some homework and see if there was any scientific study to such claims. And come to find out, there are MOUNTAINS of it.
But 528 Hz sound waves aren't the only thing your doctor isn't telling you about. There is also EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) that is an even newer modality that is showing impressive results for anxiety, PTSD, and other condition…

The "Equalizer" of Double Standards - Episode 43
Do you watch the new show that stars Queen Latifah, called "The Equalizer"? It's a TV series take on the Denzel Washington movies, that are a take on a book series by Michael Sloan.
In this episode we break down a first impression of the show, as a whole, but also get into the social innuendo of the show. In Episode 4 of the the first season of The Equalizer, Queen Latifah accosts a man in the shower of a men's locker room at a gym, and apparently that's ok.
What if a man in the show had of walked into a woman's locker room and accosted her in the shower?
This is only one of the MANY social double standards that we discuss in this episode.

Cancel Culture: This is NOT The Way - Episode 42
We stand at the edge of a precipice. Hate has NOT been eradicated in our society, it has been embraced, encouraged, and rebranded. If you have an opinion that differs from the iron triangle that is made up of politicians, media, and big business, you are at risk of being cursed, discriminated, denied civil rights, refused healthcare, lose your job, and all around be "canceled".
Not only is this being seen as socially acceptable at an alarming rate, it's being encouraged by the mainstream media.
The thing about propaganda is that you must dehumanize an enemy before you can hate them. And you must hate them, before you can go to war with them. The American people have been set against each other.
And it wasn't the Nazi's that beat Jews in the streets of Germany, it was their neighbors that had been convinced by the Nazi party that the Jews were the enemy.
We dive DEEP into this frightening behavior of "cancel culture" in this episode, beginning with The Mandalorian's Gina Carano.

Opinions Are Like Assholes. Everyone Has Them, & Most of Them Stink - Episode 40

And what happens when you use your opinions as a measuring stick to judge the "goodness" of other people? Hmmm.....
In this episode Jeffrey and Heather discuss the polarizing opinions of cursing, Breonna Taylor's death, religious beliefs, gun control, the 2020 election, Trump, Biden, and more.

You are NOT alone. This shit happens WAY more than anyone wants to admit. But we need to talk about it. You are not alone. You. Are. Not. Alone.

How the hell can a police officer murder a man restrained in cuffs? This is an absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable act of inhumanity. But is race the issue? Why is racism a thing? Can we really not get beyond race? Are we not all the same human species? How can one HUMAN treat another HUMAN like this?
How can a human kill another human just because they look differently? How can a human view another human of lesser value because of their ethnicity?
Is there a double standard of racism in our world today? Is it racist to feel like "all lives matter"? Does "black lives matter" perpetuate racism?
How do we move beyond viewing ourselves as "separate" to unite as a species? What if there are people in power behind governments that don't want us to unite as a human race?

Why do some people love to cuss? Why do some people hate to hear it?

Honest Questions From an Open-Minded Christian - Episode 16
Just because someone is a person of faith, doesn't mean they couldn't or shouldn't ask questions. And if you're gonna ask questions, why not ask really good and difficult to tackle questions? Everyone -- faith or no faith -- asks those questions in the secret places of their soul, but few are brave enough to ask them to the world....let alone discuss them on a podcast.
And that is exactly what my guest for this episode, Billy Bohem, is doing. He's a person of faith that is asking real and difficult questions that everyone in every church is asking themselves, whether they would admit it or not. In this episode, listen to him share some of those questions and thoughts, and then let us know what some of YOUR questions are.
