Jeffrey Marks, a spiritual medium and real-life Ghost buster, talks to 14 people of different religions, ages, and asks 52 questions to unlock the deeper possibilities inherent within people and to discover more about what it means to be a Soul.  Plus, hear his answers to really important questions about life after death.  Do you still have sex in Heaven?  Can you look like the 20 year old version of yourself?  Plus, we’ll find out all about Ghost busting.

Show Highlights: 

  • Segment 1:  How mediums do their thang?  How mediums work with clients that want to talk with those that have passed?
  • Segment 2: What happens when you die? How did Jeffrey Marks traverse territory that few mediums have explored?  What do you need to know about the afterlife that will allow you to live more fully today?
  • Segment 3: What are ghosts?  How do ghost explorers communicate and verify the presence of a ghost? Why don’t ghosts just cross over to the other side? Why are ghosts so gosh darn scary?
  • Segment 4: What are demons?  Why do they exist? Should we be scared of them?

About our Guest: 

Jeffrey A. Marks is a research and spiritual medium, paranormal investigator, and author of Your Magical Soul: How Science and Psychic Phenomena Paint a New Picture of the Self and Reality(winner of 2012 Nautilus Silver Book Award in Science & Cosmology and silver finalist for the 2012 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Book Award in Body, Mind & Spirit), and theThe Afterlife Interviews: Volume I. A Columbia Gorge native, Jeffrey is a compassionate voice for the spirits, and has connected for both individuals and groups in the Pacific Northwest. Starting from a left-brained perspective, Jeffrey’s explorations take him into the right-brain and deep into the Other Side and provide him with the insight to present knowledge with humble authenticity, making him a true Consciousness Explorer. He is also the co-host of the Internet talk radio show Explorers of Consciousness, a founding member of the Northwest Mediumship Association, past president of the Washington State Ghost Society, and is a dynamic educator and speaker on spiritual potential.

Jeffrey’s intent is unique among psychics and sets him apart: “My interest in being a psychic medium is not to use the ability to go out and do what other mediums are doing, or trying to duplicate them in hope of being John Edward or James Van Praagh or any of the others. I am using it to unlock the deeper possibilities inherent within people and to discover more about what it means to be a Soul. Yes, I can connect and pass messages and there’s incredible value in that (which I do a lot of the time), but I am also wishing to apply it to what I feel could answer the greater questions of life and consciousness. I am using the ability to learn more about what we are, what we are capable of, and hopefully reach a greater audience with it — in the hope of making the world a better place when I leave it than when I entered it.  I think, ultimately, that has the most value to me in the nature of this work.”

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

http://fireitupwithcj.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Bruce_Brown-B.jpg

Bruce Brown is a man of many talents, a multi-dimensional man in an often single dimensional world. Brown has been a Teacher, Coach, and Athletic Administrator with 35 years experience working with youth from junior high through the college level. He is the Director of Proactive Coaching, an organization which conducts workshops and furnishes materials designed to instruct coaches, parents, businesses, school districts and athletes in how they can be effective in building teams and promote character and competence.

Brown has coached several sports including football and basketball and was employed by the NFL for 24 years. Brown currently travels the country giving presentations on character based coaching.

He believes that developing character in our youth can help change the culture of our nation. It’s that belief that motivates this coach and educator to spend countless hours and thousands of miles on the road, speaking to athletes, parents groups, coaches and businesses. Sports, which can play a vital role in the development of our youth, is the foundation upon which Brown builds his presentation. As Brown puts it, “The culture of sport is out of perspective.”

Every night on SportsCenter, we see $8-million athletes who say, “I don’t have to practice”. They have a sense of entitlement. The danger is in the trickle down effect of that attitude from the professional athlete to the 10-year-old kid. What they see affects how they react to a coach, teammate or official. Brown has produced six instructional character based coaching DVD’s and six basketball instructional DVD’s.

He is the author of eight coaching books and 17 booklets. Some of his accomplishments are: * A Teacher, Coach, Athletic Administrator with 35 years experience working with youth * Director of Proactive Coaching * Coached several sports including football and basketball * Employed by the NFL for 24 years * Was the former special presenter for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics * Clinician, speaking to Athletes, Coaches, Parents, School Districts and Corporations Nationwide * NAIA National Co-Athletic Director of the Year – 2002
