Many of the world’s religions often stand in the way in the advancement for gay rights. As churches struggle to reconcile with modern times, they often scapegoat their own queer members in order to retain influence and power.

Because of this, a lot of people feel animosity to the religions they grew up with and as adults reject it wholeheartedly.

On today’s show we’re talking to two men who are taking a fresh perspective on the core ideas behind religion- who are we, where we are going and why do terrible things happen? Ultimately, what is the meaning of my life?

We’ve got Mark Anthony Lord- the spiritual director for the Chicago Center for Spiritual Living and Jeff Stahl, a licensed therapist who counsels people in moments of terrible grief.

Listen as we talk about finding a time and space to quiet the mind, the nature of addiction- why do we seek out things to destroy ourselves and how to take concrete steps to embrace a deeper understanding of your own life.

Mark has a free daily gay affirmation that looks very promising on his site. For some more inspiration checkout these fun video daily drag queen affirmations. It will cost you $20 a year but they do have some free samples. Thanks Fred for the link and yes, I am thoroughly enjoying them!

Hallelujah, it’s Feast of Fools!
