In this 8-10 minute podcast, I as a psychologist and a priest use my training and skills to examine the Gospels. I will present alternative interpretations and insights into the meaning of Scripture for men and women in the 21st century.

A Psychologist looks at Scripture
Jn 20:19-31 Apr 27-25 How do we live Christian Peace?
Peace is not just an absence of conflict. Lasting peace needs justice. There are also several levels of peace. There is peace between countries, communities, families and ultimately our own internal peace. Most of us are not in a position to directly impact peace between countries but we can work for peace within our communities, our families and ultimately ourselves. Are we at peace within ourselves? What negatively impacts our personal peace. Guilt, fear, and trauma will undermine our peace. Notice what I left out. Anger. Anger itself does not destroy peace. What is anger? Healthy anger results when our healthy expectations that are not respected and/or are denied. Anger itself is not the issue but it is how we express our anger.
