Fr. Richard Rohr is the real deal, a true Christian.

[@bobseehafer5414]

Simple amazing conversation. I have followed Fr.. Rohr for a few years now and love his work. But the conversation you 2 had was epic. Brought me to tears at times. Thank you

[@lightningdad17]

one of my favorite teachers and such a wonderful writer

[@daveslick3969]

What a great talk Tommy your questions are spot on. Father Richard explains everything in his book and more. Thank you for a great interview

[@albitheglowingcowboy]

Lovely stuff. More people start thinking like this and the world is going to really start getting better. Thank you two, you are positive beacons.

[@robertaswanson5633]

What a wonderful conversation between these two lovely men, each so different, meeting in a beautiful way!

[@davidhoban3825]

Excellent.. Thanks for this...Fr Richard is someone whom I return to time and time again. Not a day goes by where his wisdom, advice and contemplative practices aren't carried around with me. Superb interviewer as well.. Open, honest and a great listener... Greetings from Wales.. UK 👍

[@kathwright5098]

Hi David, I'm not far from North Wales, hope you are well. I'm new to this channel and the interviewee. Looking forward to listening.

[@radiant987]

Im so thankful to have read that book... My mom got it for me to help recover from addiction to drugs.... How learning to breathe under water helped me learn how to live without substance abuse through the 12 steps and enjoy sobriety.

[@richardsummers6023]

Thank you so much, Tommy. This was a fantastic interview. Both of you gentlemen are doing great service work. What an inspiration!!!

[@clymelabox3356]

Thank you so much- Spirit guided me to this offering just when it was needed! Thank you 🙏❤️☺️

[@sandrameza1644]

I love to see an understanding of one's divine relationship to God, and the smile it brings us.

[@deandrebit601]

I have had the cassette tapes of Breathing Under Water since 1994 and they are now transferred onto my portable recording device and I still listen to them on a regular basis... I am so envious of Tommy and wish that was me talking to Richard, however Tommy you covered more than i could have with great descriptive and valuable questions and supported THE Beautiful 12 Step program so well keeping IT a much needed program even more so nowadays.. Thank you Tommy and Thank you Richard for making my recovery SO much better... please continue both of you...

[@jeffs2518]

Wow. So much to chew on and let sink in. Loved the verse from exodus; “stand still and I will do the fighting for you.” So powerful as it relates to meditation and contemplation. Get into the flow of God and let it happen. Much love to both Tommy & Richard for this great talk!

[@holycompost]

Beautiful conversation with 2 lovely souls

[@willmurphy6663]

fantastic discussion, i learned loads.....eg: spirituality is especially for 12 steps is about behaviour/practise rather than what you believe....for me spiritual practise is honesty, sharing, kindness, listening....

[@donalee2023]

Such wonderful explanations…especially regarding prayer! Such a beautiful correlation of the 12 steps and religious/spiritual practices…it is all an experience to be had… an individual internal experience/practice.

[@MsCaterific]

Fantastic interview/conversation! I needed this. It's like grace offering me a moment for spiritual realignment.

[@sharongood8257]

This was absolutely beautiful, so helpful. I always appreciate hard questions and honest answers

[@kathrynharris3659]

I can't thank you enough for this video!! It brought me to tears and broke through several walls for me. A gift from God.! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@johnsmccarthy9039]

❤Amazing video, so much packed into it

[@traceywalsh7593]

So beautiful, and so helpful. Thank you.

[@victoriap4335]

Yes, Fr Richard is my Guru!!

[@stonemasoncarver]

Thank you Tommy!!!!Lots of person, personal and personality from both you and Richard!!!

[@Schimms]

Loved this interview, Tommy. Thank you for exposing me to the teachings of Father Rohr!

[@dariomilkovic4848]

wonderful interaction!

[@SinatraSolutions]

❤❤❤

[@ruthmacneely]

Wonderful conversation.

[@victor1963]

Great interview

[@michelebeuttel3289]

Surrendering the substance is very little of our recovery; its the disclosing of resentment, fear and sexual conduct...but it’s a moral inventory; not an immoral inventory. What have I done/said that violates my own moral values? As we “mature” we recognize what we see in others what we have within ourselves and may still be hiding from. That is why others, are our greatest teachers; God works through them to show us we can move toward surrendering.

[@janelveen3580]

Lovely

[@maliajyang7589]

@6:10 ....the ability and power to differentiate the psychoemotional "feeling" or sensation of different sufferings is vital....some sufferings we are in fact able to persist through and some sufferings are of just pure evil (whether triggered by internal or external)...@ 10:35....EXACTLY....the sensation of vulnerability is often confused with pain of suffering

[@terrence-eg1gs]

in greek the word meek referred to someone capable of doing violence who refrains from doing it. the romanized translation was misleading

[@maliajyang7589]

@25:02...takes purity and presence to be able to be present and ABSORB positivity...that's a whole other subject ...takes much practice and discipline to get there

[@rhonda9780]

I would wonder if critics of 12 step are motivated by support of drugs for medicine a quick fix for rather than the evolution of

[@maliajyang7589]

@42:00....the "well disguised narcissist".....so well disguised.....the one is exactly that cannot tell

[@rebeccaockert6078]

Luke 14:12-15 - wedding parable - go invite the people in the streets…

[@maliajyang7589]

@32:42....I call it impartation or annointing

[@AllThingsNew19]

The meek person submits to God! God is the owner of this earth (Psalm 24:1). Those who obey Christ become children of God (Galatians 3:27; Hebrews 5:9), and “joint-heirs” with the Lord (Romans 8:17). The Father supplies all our needs (Philippians 4:19), we therefore enjoy this earth and its blessings more than all others. Mainly, however, our inheritance is spiritual (Acts 20:32); we are heirs in the kingdom of Christ (Ephesians 5:5), and citizenship in that kingdom is available now on this earth (cf. John 3:3-5; Colossians 1:13). To many, “meekness” suggests the idea of passivity, someone who is easily imposed upon, spinelessness, weakness. Since Jesus declared Himself to be meek (Matthew 11:29), some perceive Him as a sissy-type character. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the Greek New Testament, “meek” is from the Greek term praus. It does not suggest weakness; rather, it denotes strength brought under control. The ancient Greeks employed the term to describe a wild horse tamed to the bridle. In the biblical sense, therefore, being meek describes one who has channeled his strengths into the service of God.

You you don't want to wake up in a world where there's no 12 steps 2024.

[@PS-bn6sh]

I don’t now, I don’t understand, I can’t stop smoking marichuana. I still don’t understand whether she is working in my favor or whether her action is against me. I fell lost and hopeless…

Don't give up, man. Been there and struggled for years. Even after quitting weed I struggled w alcohol. But know I'm sober for 2 years. Keep up and listen to father Rohr. And listen inwards. I wish you all the best.

[@newtonia-uo4889]

if you read Father Rohr's book, God is in that marijuana, so why refuse it?

[@maliajyang7589]

on grace No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength. Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone. 18-19 Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect him, the ones who are looking for his love. He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together. 20-22 We’re depending on God; he’s everything we need. What’s more, our hearts brim with joy since we’ve taken for our own his holy name. Love us, God, with all you’ve got- that’s what we’re depending on.

[@melissabotma3619]

Co exist movement.

[@cackpolt]

Rohr’s demonic heresy should preclude him from ever witnessing to anyone suffering from addiction.
