Paul’s second 2022 interview with Malcolm and Cheryl Smith. Malcolm is the founder of Unconditional Love Fellowship, a world-wide ministry based in Texas and is host of the You Tube series “Malcolm Smith Webinars.” He celebrates his 70th year of preaching this year and continually contrasts the Father’s Unconditional Love with religion’s conditional, angry, list-keeping, impossible to please, distant, judgmental, wrathful and punitive false concept of “god.” Cheryl is the founder and leader of Mannequin Ministries, a Texas-based ministry to incarcerated women. She’s an accomplished poet and former fashion model.

Paul draws on help from friends Brad Jersak and Malcolm Smith along with Grace revelation to show how Jesus’ parable of the Only Good Father (mis-named “the Prodigal Son”) is the ONE filter for organizing ALL scripture, spiritual teaching, spiritual writing and spiritual discussion into one of three categories: The younger son missing the mark (sinning) of the Father’s Goodness by not living out his true identity and believing the lie that he was not worthy (misrepresenting the Father’s nature); The older son missing the mark (sinning) of the Father’s Goodness by not living out his true identity and believing the lie that he had earned (self-righteousness) the Father’s worthiness (misrepresenting the Father’s nature); and the only true representation of the Father (Perfect Unconditional Love that casts out all fear, Unlimited Abundant Grace to ALL, Total Goodness/Inclusion/Acceptance of ALL and Pure Light with no trace of darkness.

Paul interviews David Gregory, New York Times #1 Best-selling author, playwright, and teacher whose life has come full circle. Despite a love for writing and liberal arts in high school and college, David opted for a “more practical” business degree that launched him into a successful ten-year career in compensation management with three consulting firms and Texas Instruments. After a decade of spreadsheets, however, he was ready to look for a career offering more personal meaning.

David returned to graduate school, earning a master's degree from the University of North Texas with concentrations in communication and sociology. During that time, he began creative writing in the form of two short screenplays, one dramatic and one science fiction. He also started a periodic newsletter before joining a Christian ministry as staff writer and editor. While there, he coauthored two nonfiction books, The Marvelous Exchange and The Rest of the Gospel: When the Partial Gospel Has Worn You Out.

While earning another master's degree from Dallas Theological Seminary, David entertained a new craft: writing fiction. He decided that in a culture dominated by sound bites, reality TV, and the Internet, communicating through story could reach otherwise untapped audience. Taking some material on worldviews that he had planned to put into nonfiction form, he began writing Dinner with a Perfect Stranger.

David's current study focuses on the postmodern worldview and how it intersects with the Christian conception of God, meaning in life, and the process of knowing (epistemology). He is currently writing his second novel.

David lives in Texas with his wife and two children, where he works for a nonprofit organization.

Paul Gray discusses the early church Father’s belief that “God is Good, Only Good, Always Good to ALL people! He also shows what the First Nation people, the Cheyenne Indians in North America believed about God centuries before European “Christians” came to tell them about a false version of a “not always good ‘god’” that they had to believe “or else!” Here’s what the Cheyenne believed: “Maheo is still with us. He is everywhere, watching all his people, and all the creation he has made. Maheo is all good and all life; he is the creator, the guardian, and the teacher. We are all here because of Maheo.”
