Greetings, we are Pastor Jacqueline Cain and Dr Patrick Ware and you've reached the web site for "The Soulful Mind" a radio program on WGUN 1010 AM and available via web cast at www.WGUNRadio.com . We are here for you and heartfully await your calls and emails about a very important subject: "YOUR HEART" (and soul). We're going to offer you some new ways of thinking and offer some opportunities to turn your struggles into peace and contentment for you and perhaps even those you love.

Introduction:
This entire ministry sprang from two independent acts of kindness.
Two souls met and one provided support and encouragement to the other with a great heartache. Out of the gratitude of the receiver to the giver sprang this ministry intended to provide the same support and nurture to any who will listen and can hear about the gift.

Ministry Mission and Vision Statement:
We have been taught that God created man in his own image (Genesis 1:27 TNIV) and it is our belief and faith that the human spirit is the temple within which the spirit of God resides (I Corinthians 3:16 TNIV). It is simply human judgment (Deuteronomy 1:17 TNIV) that is the sole author of human misery and anguish and the prime barrier to the full discovery of God's complete and sacred gift of life and meaning .
It is our mission to assist and support any listening ear in the pursuit of reducing or eliminating human judgment as a barrier to the full discovery of the bounty of God's gifts. Our vision is to utilize all of our energies in helping those who are interested in developing an alternative way of living in the pursuit of the full richness of God's gifts. GBTG

Genesis 1:27 (Today's New International Version)

27 So God created human beings in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

I Corinthians 3:16

16 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?

Deuteronomy 1:17 (Today's New International Version)
17 Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of anyone, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it.

We are so pleased that God has provided us with an opportunity of sharing with you today some of the things that have been so powerful in our lives and the lives of many whom we have known and worked with over the years. We pray that this ministry will be a support and a foundation for your discovery of all of God's gifts to you and perhaps ultimately to others you know and love.
We offer you our sincerest time, attention and support in assisting you in finding an alternative manner of living that will allow you access to the full richness of God's gifts.

We also ask that you keep us informed of how you are doing, what is happening in your life and what you are learning from you discovery experience.

Opening prayer:
Our Heavenly Father we humbly ask for your blessing and direction in this
ministry. Open our hearts and ears that we may hear and guide our hearts
and minds that we may be heard by those who will benefit from your gifts.

Ministry Participation Invitation:
We invite the visitor to this site and to the radio program to participate in this ministry by including us in your prayers, following the exercise listed below, giving us feedback on your discovery experiences (direct call in to the live radio broadcast and by email) and through your financial support.
The "exercise" (First simple step on a longer journey):
As often as you can (excluding during the operation of heavy machinery) during the day after you have any feeling regardless of its size or quality simply ask yourself (using a 10 point scale where "0" represents a feeling with no intensity and "10" represents a feeling that is the most intense you could ever imagine having ever in your life) "how intense was that feeling?" Please allow you mind to register the response (it only takes a moment) and for the "rating" to find its own place on your 10 point scale. As soon as that is complete you continue on with your day until you are able to repeat the process with your next feeling. Remember, this exercise is intended to allow you to address any feeling, any size, any quality ("good" or "bad") anytime.
We look forward to your discoveries and your sharing how you are doing (email and/or call in to the radio program).

Current reports by individuals who are using this exercise and approach:

Respondent One:
44 year old single female with a multiple year history of intense fear, anger and apprehension as well as a history of substance abuse and addiction who after using the exercise for two weeks made the following observations: "It's really interesting.... I've become more aware I was having feelings. First off, in some instances after I rated the feelings, the impact of the (unpleasant feeling such as fear or anger) went away and really declined because and after I put a number on it. It was less frightening. It took a feeling and made it something I could hold... something real... something palatable... something with meaning.... thank you. It's obvious this exercise and you have a lot to offer."

Respondent Two:
32 year old mother of two pre-school children with a history of using this exercise for about 6 weeks: "At first I was very angry and resentful among other things I discovered later. I'm now having joy and gratitude and am less closed with other people. I'm offering myself more to others… just more open. My life feels less cluttered. I'm feeling more and everything now. I'm a bit more patient and for me that's very big. I'm a lot less judgmental in general and that feels awesome. I'm just more in the moment. As the changes (above) have unfolded I've become much more aware of how before I began this program I felt helpless, wanted to just quit, was deceptive with others, very judgmental, fed up, frustrated, hopeless, finished, isolated and very confused.
First you have to be open… at first you don't even know right now… you're so into anger and hurt. You don't have any idea how simple it is to turn this around and how grateful you'll be when you do.
Life really isn't about what you think it has been like for most or all or your life up to the present. Life is about you. It's so powerful. You have the power to change your own life. You have to allow yourself this time to focus upon you and your feelings. Stop playing the martyr or the victim and just focus on you and do this. This will change your life. You don't need to understand it or justify it or ask questions about it. Just do it because it works.
It will be natural to struggle with yourself. That's what we are used to doing… fighting ourselves all day long. Stop fighting yourself and give up everything you've thought about why or how life works or the right way to be before. Surrender to yourself.
I didn't do the exercises at first with anything like this in mind. Just doing them works. It's really very exciting. That's why today I'm in gratitude and have carried that with me all this week. When you can feel that you can't keep from smiling.
I couldn't have imagined ever being here at anytime in my life much less in 6 weeks. What is you is… and what's not you just falls away on its own. Thank you.

Respondent Three:
27 year old single never married childless male with a history of "living in hell" for nearly 20 years and a complex chronic multiple substance abuse history of some 11 years. After participating in this program for about 2-3 weeks he reported that in the last three weeks he had experienced the "biggest change in my life" at least in a decade. It felt like God came into my life. I don't even remember asking him. It just happened. I've really been crying these three weeks. This saved my life. All 27 years of my life I've been alone. I had no real religious contact or training. I wasn't an atheist… more like an agnostic. You just kind of get out of the way of your feelings. I've been fighting the unpleasant and the pleasant feelings… all the time. I've never let myself be happy. I'm blown away. I can believe it because it's happening but before I thought there was no "fixing" me. I've been looking and seeing things very differently. I'm seeing things through a different lens… more love… more self love too. I'm not so dismal about the entirety of the world… not so focused on the evils of the world. I have more clarity… a great sense of peace.
How I used to feel was beyond bad. It was no fun, a drag, so emotionally tumultuous I knew I was going to develop physical health problems.

Respondent Four:
55 year old married male with a reported history of 20 years of anger and intensity with major problems in many areas of his life reports that after 3-4 weeks of participating in this program he experienced the following response. (note is made that this man had many months earlier participated for a while and then dropped out). He stated I don't know why I quit but when I came back and you mentioned this I knew immediately I needed to go back on (the program). You've got to do it…. You can't quit. I felt much better before I got to my can and the parking lot last time after I resumed the intensity monitoring exercise. I'm now three weeks later much freer, happier, I make much less of a footprint… it's like the surface I'm walking on is lighter… I'm lighter.. yes, I'm less burdened… fear is not controlling my life like before. I feel I have a handle on things now…. I can now hear the air passing my ears when I walk like when I was 5 or 6 years old. I for sure won't quit doing this again. I'll be doing this forever. Before, it was a cycle…. I'd feel like crap…. Judge it… feel like crap some more… and the cycle continued… even with more pleasant feelings… until I asked the question about intensity and then all the crap and conflict within me just stopped. The tightness is gone. My mind has slowed down. I can just sit now. I don't have to be doing something all of the time with my hands, mind or body. Life is much simpler and it's so much easier. Things that used to make me very uncomfortable no longer do. I've got a ways to go but what a change…. I've been trying to do the exercise all the time. The frequency really matters."

Respondent Five:
I wish I could have explained better what I wanted to get accross (when I called the program). I was not really planning to call but when I heard Ricky I knew I had to call. When I look back on how deeply "depressed" I was when I first met you, you were really my last effort to stay alive. I know that God prompted me to call you... Sitting here (I) think about so manny things I wanted to say but just couldn't get out. I thought I could e-mail you now that the thoughts keep running through my mind. Like when my friend thought I was "in love" when I was talking about my experience just the week after I first met with you. She told me I had the light in my eyes and face like someone does when thay are first in love. My kids, who have seen the depth of my depression, don't understand how this works yet, but they will tell me "Mom it is so good to call you or see you and hear how happy you are. You are so much more alive. I can hear your smile when I talk to you now. It is good to know that when I called you weren't home and not in bed. I don't worry about getting "that call" any more". I don't think I could have given them a more precious gift. From my heart, Thank you. I did listen via my computer.... If I can help anyone else I will shout it from the mountain top, or radio which ever helps. I don't know if you fully understand how much what you've done for me means to me. You are a true Godsend.

Respondent Six:
Accessing the radio program via the Internet was so easy. I loved the program. You and Minister Cain are an interesting team and work well together. It was like you've been doing this for a long time. I loved your language. You and Minister Cain complemented each other well. The program was practical, philosophical... really different. I do the exercise more when I know we will talk again. There are so many things in every day life that just seem to get in the way. What Jackie (Minister Cain) said did it for me. The change of the value system. The minute she said what she said about the changes of the value systems, it "clicked" for me! You have a very different learning style. The program and the exercise are simply about "Love!" It was too short. I thought it would be an hour. I think the talking part is more helpful to me than the calls taken. I enjoyed your dialogue. Have you thought about other markets? I think the program was genuine and inspiring and would go well in the New York City area. You should give this to Oprah.

Show Schedule:

Every Friday: 2:00-2:30 pm beginning 2/2/07

Don't forget you can listen to the program on the web @ www.WGUNRadio.com

Listen for our promo air spots beginning 11/25/07

Listeners are encouraged to visit this site, begin the "first small step" exercise and let us know by email and by call in when we go live how your progress is coming. One way to assess this is to ask yourself a couple of weeks after pursuing the exercise as many times a day as you can generally how you are doing in the last week or so comparing that to how you were doing generally the 2-3 months before beginning the exercise much as the client accounts listed above. Your discoveries are in our thoughts and heartful prayers.

Devotional (thoughts for your day):

Important note: This offering is not intended to replace any existing or future relationship the participant may have with either a mental health professional or their church. It is our sincerest hope and prayer that this experience will augment those relationships.
