The Freedom Preacher wants you to be happier!
AND you can talk to him about it in a LIVE “Freedom Preacher Zoom Session.”
Would you be happier in a happier world? I think you would. And I suspect that you think so too.
If you agree, you can join me, the Freedom Preacher, and others in a live, real time Zoom session. Let’s figure out why this world of ours is so unhappy. Even better — let’s figure out what we can do about it!
PROBLEM: "Divided and conquered." How a broken world can break us all
It’s not your imagination: as our “leaders” continue to feather their own nests, things get more and more difficult for the rest of us. Here are some details you may not have realized.
SOLUTION: Community. Getting along. Friendship, work and love. All are better when we are free
The old song said “People everywhere just want to be free.” It’s no secret that the things that make life worth living are better when we are free.
ACTION ITEM: Freedom Preacher Zoom Sessions to make it happen!
Who else is fed up with our broken world? Join a Freedom Preacher Zoom Session and find out!
Who knows — maybe you will find your “tribe”!
Maybe you are one of the lucky ones
Maybe you are already pretty happy with the “big pieces” of your life. For most people, these are your career and your relationships. Whoever said “There is work, and there is love” really hit the nail on the head.
And if a friend, family member, or someone else you care about is struggling with the issues discussed here, feel free to pass whatever information that you think may be helpful onto them. Maybe they would benefit from receiving the Freedom Preacher newsletter! Please be sure to get their permission first if you plan to sign them up.
But maybe some of this sounds familiar:
- Meaningless work; demanding bosses; apathetic coworkers
- Endless anxiety about paying the bills
- Stressful relationships with friends and family, many of whom face the same struggles
- Economic collapse? Hyperinflation? Nuclear war? Make it stop!!!
To add insult to injury, our society does its best to convince you that something is wrong with you if you are not happy.
Blame the victims?
But what if this is 100% backwards? What if the problem is our increasingly dysfunctional society itself that seems determined to make a satisfying existence all but impossible for more and more individuals?
This is why I decided to become the Freedom Preacher:
You are not “broken” if you are unhappy in a society as intentionally distorted as ours. It is manipulative and dishonest to imply that you are in an attempt to “paper over” the damage done by this society.
My goal as the Freedom Preacher is to help clarify the true causes of this unhappiness — and, hopefully, build on this to provide some genuine solutions. Or at least some improvement.
OK, I am not 100% convinced but I am curious. How can I learn more?
Freer and more peaceful? Seriously?
Imagine, if you will, a world in which you could count on almost everybody to deal with you fairly and honestly in any kind of interaction. Just think how much better you would feel waking up in the morning to a new day in a world like that!
I am not promising miracles...
I truly wish I could offer you that world, but I cannot. That is the world that, sadly, has been lost to us by our increasingly toxic society.
But how about a step or two in the right direction?
But maybe all is not lost. Most people would prefer that “better world.” My goal as the Freedom Preacher is to help find ways to spend as much time as possible in that world.

Ambitious Stepfather
This type inquiry is sometimes dismissed as “blaming” others for our problems. But if there is something in your past that affects your life today – and possibly tomorrow – why not take a look at it?
The “Molly Story”
Surprise! Unlike before, she was genuinely paying attention to each and every customer, nice as could be to them in addition to getting their orders filled efficiently. Yes, I was definitely amazed.
E.T. — Get a job!
Marvin wanted to apologize to Minnie but how to find her? Somewhere on the planet, she’s still as lost to Marvin as she was in the depths of the Cosmos.
Always Have an “Or Else”
The hypocrisy of the “no ultimatums” policy is somewhat galling when you think about it…. a more accurate policy would be “No ultimatums for you (or else!)”
SoCal Real Estate: Mom was Right
As I belatedly came to realize, arbitrarily not doing what someone wants you to do is really no different than doing it – they are still controlling you.
Missing Links and a lecture I wish I had heard
There are only a few ways to get the things you will want and need: steal them, be fortunate enough for someone to give them to you, or earn them.
Treat Me Wrong, Treat Me Right: Who Decides?
“Gentlemen, it says right in the Bible that no man shall serve two masters. When you guys decide which of you is going to make this decision, please let me know and I will do my best to get the job done at that point.”
Had to work on conflicts. But which ones?
My need — maybe “obsession” is more accurate — to understand and, hopefully, to do something about this disconnect between what most of us say we want and the conflict-ridden world we have created has led me to become the Freedom Preacher.
Starting to look for answers
It turned out my family did not have a monopoly on conflict and irrationality. Time to start figuring this out.
Freedom does not mean license
Freedom does not mean license. You don’t have to go to class, but you can’t mess things up for those that want to.
A Cold War story: “They are people just like us!”
This just blew my young mind! The point was not to demonize either side — it was that the roles were completely interchangeable, and it really didn’t matter which side of the fence you were on when the missiles started to fly.
