The Joshua Tongol Podcast

What do you believe?

Wait a minute, let me ask that question again. What do you really believe?

In other words, have you ever claimed to “believe” in a particular idea or creed, yet in your heart, you really didn’t believe?

Or have you ever tried to believe in something because you were supposed to believe in it, yet in your mind, it didn’t make any sense to you at all?

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR:

• The senior project on “Christianity” that changed my life
• Some possible reasons why we believe
• Whether or not we choose our beliefs
• How to recognize our blind spots
• How our environment influences our beliefs?
• Two powerful factors that impact a person’s belief
• Is a God who demands you to “believe or burn” being unfair?

What is behind every message you hear?

In other words, what drives a person to share what they wanna share?

And once a person responds to a certain message, what motivates him or her to do what they do?

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR:

• The sad (yet funny) story of when I was "left behind"
• How much of organized religion is running things
• The problem with the "good news"
• Why the so-called "unconditional" love of God is really conditional
• The different motivations for belief
• Why the "Christian" God is schizophrenic

Religion.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that word?

God?
Love?
Faith?

Have you ever had someone share their "religion" with you? If so, how was their approach?

Have you ever shared your ideas with someone else? If so, how was your approach?

Does a person's approach even matter? Or is it all about a person's content?

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR:

• The incident of the two passionate men to who tried converting me
• A discussion about passion, truth, and sincerity
• Examples of ineffective approaches to conversations
• Whether it's "right" or "wrong" to make judgments
• If tolerance is always the answer to disagreements

I was recently interviewed by Coach Carla on the Vibrant Living Show. We discuss the laws of the universe, the power of our minds, and the ability to create reality.

Listen in and be encouraged today!

We can spend a lot of time convincing ourselves that that "thing" we wanna do ... that "thing" that gets us "pumped up" and excited ... could wait. And we come up with a bunch of reasons of why we can't do it now.

Procrastination.

Here's how to beat it. (watch video)

Do you sometimes fear the future? Worry about money? Become anxious about life? Well, I have a simple tip that can help you overcome your fear in seconds.

Sometimes watching the news on television can sometimes make it feel like the world is a horrible place to live in. And it can even sometimes make you wonder if there's any hope for humanity at all.

We all wanna make a difference in this world--which is good--but some of us just don't know where to start.

Well ... it's simple. Here's what you can do (watch video)

“Im not good enough.”

Have YOU ever felt that way? I know I have. And so has everyone else.

 Check out this encouraging message to help start off your week.

A lot of people these days are accusing the Christian God (along with his followers) of being
hateful, exclusive, judgmental, and violent.

Is God guilty? And why do God and his followers tend to look alike?

Growing up as a Christian, I have always considered myself an open-minded person … until I realized that I kept assuming–no matter what–one thing.

And this one thing kept me from truly learning from others. Let this give you something to think about.

Have you ever asked yourself this very important (and possibly uncomfortable) question?

Whether Christianity is true or false, have you, as an individual, looked into the historicity and teachings of the Christian faith?

For some people, asking the “WHAT IF?” question will change their lives forever.

Struggling a lot with guilt and shame? Desiring to become a better person? Here's the secret.

Here's a reading of the "Subconscious Mind" chapter from my book "The Secret to Awesomeness.

Thanks to the YouAreCreators channel for creating the audio chapter with music.
