87 Releasing "Christian" Guilt and Fear

Unfortunately millions of people experience "Christian" fear and guilt.  As a college student I came to church with an open heart hoping and trusting for a deeper opening and Christian support.  Love quickly turned into guilt and fear of what I was taught could be a severe and punishing God.  After two years I knew something was wrong so I enrolled in a 4 year residential theological program at Harding School of Theology to sort things out. There, I received an incredibly high-quality education culminating in a Masters of Theology.  In this podcast I relate what helped me release my Christian guilt and go deeper on my path to eventual awakening.These podcasts are meant to supplement your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. They are a compilation of what I have found to be the most helpful over the last 50 years on my path of awakening. I feel these podcasts are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last.  Though they, also, all stand on their own.  Since we are each a bit different, if anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are free. Enjoy!Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy.  If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.www.williamecooper.wordpress.com for more support.  You may, especially, enjoy the short contemplations and the resource page which gives you some supportive material.
