Going through a broken heart — whether from a breakup, a divorce, or the loss of someone you love? In this episode of the New Thought Men's Podcast, host Eamon sits down with Reverend Josh Reeves, lead minister at Mile High Church in Lakewood, Colorado, and author of Sacred Time: Finding True Peace in a Busy World, for a raw and practical conversation on how to actually survive heartbreak — not bypass it.

Drawing from his own recent divorce and the sudden loss of his father, Josh walks through nine practical, hard-won steps for moving through heartbreak with consciousness instead of getting stuck in it — from music and physical release to conscious completions, forgiveness, and Eric Berne's "Drama Triangle." Together, he and Eamon dig into why spiritual bypassing never works, why "kind but not nice" is the healthier path, and why the same love that brought you into a relationship is the love that should walk you out the front door of it.

Divine masculinity doesn't look like anything — that's the answer Reverend Doctor Soni Cantrell-Smith gives, and it might be the most freeing thing you hear all year. In this episode of the New Thought Men's Podcast, host Eamon welcomes Soni — founding minister of the Center for Spiritual Living Lexington and spiritual leader of Centers for Spiritual Living (CSL) — for a wide-ranging conversation on gender, authenticity, and why the labels we inherit are far more fragile than we think.

Soni and Eamon dig into how masculine and feminine roles are cultural constructs, not fixed truths — pointing to Ernest Holmes' own writing on the "intermediate s*x" and how history's gender norms (pink for men, wigs for barristers, kilts for warriors) have shifted more than most people realize. They also confront the harder edges of the conversation: why isolated young men are being radicalized online, why so many are drawn to rigid religious and political movements in search of belonging, and why authenticity — not conformity — is the real antidote. Soni closes with an announcement about "An Awakening Path," a new collaborative initiative uniting Centers for Spiritual Living, Unity, ANTN, and other New Thought organizations under one shared voice.

In this episode, you'll discover:
Why "Divine Masculinity" Doesn't Look Like Anything: Soni's answer to the show's final question, and what it means to move past gendered labels entirely

The Intermediate S*x: Ernest Holmes' 1926 writing on masculine and feminine as attributes within every person, not identities assigned by biology

The Radicalization Pipeline: How isolation, video games, and the search for belonging are pulling young men toward Christian nationalism and Pentecostalism at record rates

Living in the Mystery: Why humans crave certainty about identity — and why learning to sit with ambiguity is itself a spiritual practice

Your Purpose Is to Love Yourself: Soni's answer to the question she says she's asked most often

An Awakening Path: A first look at the new initiative uniting New Thought organizations into one collaborative movement

What if the story you've told yourself since childhood — "I'm not smart enough," "I'm not enough" — isn't even true? In this episode of the New Thought Men's Podcast, host Eamon welcomes Reverend Paul Hoyt — a lifelong New Thought practitioner, ordained minister, and associate minister at the Center for Conscious Living — for a raw, deeply personal conversation about self-compassion, radical forgiveness, and what it actually takes for men to feel their feelings instead of burying them.

Paul opens up about being diagnosed with dyslexia at 13 and carrying the belief "I'm stupid" for nearly 50 years, until self-compassion work helped him separate his learning differences from his worth. He and Eamon dig into David Hawkins' Letting Go technique — the practice of actually feeling a feeling instead of avoiding it — and Paul shares the story of forgiving his mother decades later, in a kitchen conversation that healed both of them. They also confront why men are conditioned to suppress tears, and why finishing the crying cycle (instead of stopping halfway) is itself a form of healing.

Is your ego the enemy — or is it just misunderstood?

In this episode of the New Thought Men's Podcast, host Eamon sits down with Kelly Beninga — psychotherapist, president of the New Thought Men's Community Board of Trustees, and author of The Enlightened Ego: Discover Your Ego's Purpose and Path of Transcendence. Kelly brings a rare blend of mechanical engineering, transpersonal psychology, and New Thought philosophy to a question every spiritual man eventually faces: what do I actually do with my ego?

Rather than the old spiritual instinct to "kill" or transcend the ego entirely, Kelly makes the case for something more nuanced: understanding it, loving it, and learning when to let it drive — and when to hand over the wheel to your higher self. Using David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness, Kelly and Eamon explore what it looks like to live "above the line" versus "below the line," why deep acceptance is the real spiritual work, and how healing your own wounded ego ripples out into healing the collective one.
