A Message to All Christians - Don't Be Afraid to Do This

My name is Joshua Tongol.

I was raised a Christian.

For years I believed whatever I was taught by pastors, preachers and teachers. I was told what to believe, how to think, and how to live.

Honestly, I constantly struggled with my faith because, on the one hand, I believed in a God who supposedly "loved" me unconditionally, but, on the other hand, I also believed in a God who was hateful, exclusive, judgmental, and violent.

God, to me, seemed somewhat schizophrenic.

I had no security in God's love whatsoever. His love and acceptance of me was based on what I believed and how "good" I was.

Thankfully, my life and views of God began to change (for the better) once I started to do what I'll be sharing in this video.

Here are some things for you to think about:

*What if everything you were taught about Christianity (and religion) is wrong?

*Learn to think for yourself and don't allow others to think for you

*Always be honest and true to yourself

*Are your religious beliefs creating a better you and helping make this world a better place?

*Do you have questions about your faith but are too afraid to ask them?

*Can you still be spiritual without having to be a Christian?

The Secret to Happiness (THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!)

What is the secret to happiness? You might be surprised, the "secret" is a lot more obvious than you think.

I hope this video encourages you!

Fear is an illusion (ALL IN YOUR MIND)

Did we enter this world with fear, separation, and shame? Or is all this "darkness" between our ears?

Unfortunately, many parents, educators and ministers have negatively affected the subconscious minds of people all over the world.

It's time to remember our innocence.  

Listen in as Joshua shares his heart and answers questions on important subjects. It might give you a different perspective on things.

"No One Has the Truth! Everything's Relative!" (Let's Talk About It)

When it comes to discussing ideas, it's commonly said that "everything is relative." Many open-minded people conclude that, because there are so many differing views, there is no Truth.

But is truth relative? Can something be true for one person and not necessarily for another? Does everybody have their own "truth"?

Is morality merely a matter of taste? If so, would this belief be livable? Will the world succeed of we continue hurting others?

Yet, at the same time, is morality a rigid structure of dos and don'ts where it is always bad to make a certain choice? Can there be more than one [right] way to respond to any given situation?

Can there be, in a sense, an objectivity to human nature, which makes a successful and livable world?

Personal beliefs throughout history have definitely changed over time. And it does seem obvious, at least to me, that some things do evolve. But is everything subjective? And is "reality" always clear to individuals--especially in an evolving and creative quantum world?

G.K. Chesterton said, “Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.”

But is anything really SOLID?

Listen in as Joshua shares his heart and answers questions on important subjects. It might give you a different perspective on things.

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING - Are You Ready? (When The SHIFT Hits the Fan)

What shift is happening all over the world today?

What TRANSCENDS every  religion?

Which religion contains "The Truth"?

“God Loves You! TURN OR BURN!!” Whaaaat?!?!?

Have you ever encountered a street preacher (or anyone else) who condemned you for not believing in Jesus?

Has the message of God's unconditional love been reduced to "turn or burn"?

If You're Religious, This Might Make You Uncomfortable | Why Christianity Must Change

Tired of religion?

What if almost everything you were taught about Christianity is wrong?

Would you give up on faith altogether? Or is it possible to rediscover—with fresh eyes—a richer and more satisfying understanding of God and spirituality?

This message is about thinking outside the "institutional walls" of Christianity and asking the hard questions. Joshua boldly says in public what many people are thinking in private. And his hilarious stories and life-changing insights will inspire those who are dissatisfied with fear-driven religion but believe—deep down—there's a better message out there for the world to hear.

Why Won't God Heal EVERYONE?

-Does God heal at random?
-Is there a "perfect timing" for God to heal?
-Is there a "right technique" to heal?
-Is healing universal?

Listen in as Joshua shares his heart and answers questions on important theological subjects. It might give you a different perspective on things.
