15 Nov Celebrating my wife … and celebrating Life (VIDEO: HOT AIR BALLOON ADVENTURE)

Featured, Updates, Videos, Vlogs | joshua

So, aside from teaching and preaching videos, I’ve been wanting to share more aspects of my life on here so you all know that I’m actually human. LOL

 

Recently it was my wife’s birthday and I wanted to do something special for her. It’s been a dream of hers to go on a hot air balloon ride one day and, well, I finally made it happen.

 

 

You see, as I continue to live life, the more I realize the importance of slowing down once in awhile and really enjoying myself. It’s so easy for me to get caught up in the routine of my daily life (e.g., writing, making videos, speaking) where I can forget WHO or WHAT is in front of me.

 

LIFE is beautiful. It’s meant to cherished.

 

There’s so much to explore … so much to see.

 

Celebrating my wife’s life almost 3,000 feet up in the air is not something I do everyday. And I’m not telling you to do any adrenaline-rushing activities in order to experience life to the fullest, but I am reminding you to truly enjoy yourself TODAY.

 

Take a break from your busy schedule today and find some time to laugh and play … even if it’s only for a couple minutes. Trust me, it’ll do you some good.

 

Celebrate yourself today.
Celebrate those you love today.

 

In other words, celebrate LIFE today …

12 Oct A Message to All Christians – Don’t Be Afraid to Do This (MUST WATCH!!)

Featured, Miscellaneous Teaching, Religion and Theology (Hot Topics), So You Thought You Knew, Spirituality, Updates, Videos, Vlogs | joshua

 

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?

Featured, Q&A Sessions, So You Thought You Knew, Spirituality, Updates, Videos | joshua

 

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.
