Over the next couple of months, we will be completely reworking and redesigning our three websites: http://www.authortalk.audio, http://www.crossingtheline.me, and http://www.thedisciplesite.com into a single site with multiple tracks that you can easily follow. Choose any one (or more) of our series. Here is an advanced look from our designers at our new Home Pages…

Video

In addition to interviewing authors of all religions and faiths (as we have been doing), our sites will expand exponentially into entirely new dimensions—including video interviews of some of our most well-known authors that will be posted every month. The planning and preparation is well on its way. Soon you will be able to see as well as hear many of our authors as I probe their minds and explore their writings. When the transition is completed, the videos will be posted each week right along with our audio. But, that’s not all!

Apostle Paul Series

As part of these changes, I will be launching three new weekly blog series (the first coming next week). One will take you into the world of the Apostle Paul; his travels, tribulations, his visions, his interactions with the Disciples, and more. Why Paul? Because he is arguably the most influential personality responsible for the Christianity that we have all inherited down through the millennia. If you don’t understand Paul, you really can’t understand the teachings of Jesus, or the Christian faith that began to morph during the first decades after Jesus’ death.

We will also be introducing you to fascinating interview clips of Biblical scholars and authors that were interviewed by Robert Orlando in preparation for writing his book (and used in the movie by the same name) called, Apostle Paul: A Polite Bribe. Orlando and I will also create a series of interviews that delve into the research and background behind the groundbreaking film.

Historical Jesus (Life, Times, and Teachings) Series

The second series will explore the world-changing life and times of the Jesus of history, from both my memories and my 30 years of study with some of the top biblical scholars in the world. I hope that you enjoy the series and contribute with your feedback.

Spiritual Series

Lastly, I find that about one half of our audience closely follows our posts about Jesus and Christianity, and about half log-on to hear and explore the world of Eastern religion, meditation, reincarnation, Masters and the spiritual path. So, I will also be adding a spiritual series that runs concurrently with the others. I have been meditating since I was 12 years old. Over the past 60 years I have experienced much. I have met Masters and near-Masters alike. I am currently writing a book about this journey, so I will give you a peek behind the curtain as it progresses. Now you can follow me as I write the book.

Choose the series that interests you, or check out subjects that help you understand other peoples of other faiths that have their own vision and faith.

A Grant is Helping Us Grow

This huge transition is being made possible in part by a grant from one of our listeners. If you would like to join with us in this effort to reach our goal of helping bring religious and spiritual peoples of the world together in mutual respect and understanding, we would welcome your assistance in bringing it about. As you might imagine, it costs money to make these changes happen. If you think that you can aid in any way, your help would be greatly appreciated. We will be hiring videographers and sending them all over the country to interview our authors, while I will be filming in my office/studio. We will be expanding into new social media outlets, and much more. Today our sites generate roughly 8,000 to 10,000 visits each month. Our goal is to reach 50,000 listeners a month over the next year, and eventually circle the globe. In fact, I see that we are already reaching listeners each week in Australia and New Zealand.

I thank you for your continued interest and support. I welcome your suggestions and comments. We are building this site for our readers and listeners, and we want your input on what you want to hear.
