Spiritual Onion
I want to provide an alternative to the conservative, literal-minded, and politicized religious perspective that dominates the contemporary scene. As a Pastoral Psychotherapist and Pastor, I attempt to hold the tension between theology and psychology. Spiritual Onion will appeal to those who have left the Church and those who never participated in institutional religion. Spiritual Onion is for those who have been hurt by the Church, those who have outgrown the Church, and those who are looking for a different voice. The seekers, the searchers, and the soulful will find a home at Spiritual Onion. Take a listen....

Shame Kills the Soul, Part 1

Episode 5
No other feeling does as much damage to our unique personality as does shame. Our second stage of development as toddlers offers us the challenge of Autonomy versus Shame and its kissing cousin Self-Doubt. Autonomy allows us to be self-motivating—to freely explore ourselves and the world around us. Controlled by others, Shame and Self-Doubt kill the soul and keep us confined within a prison constructed by others.
