April 30: Where will you be in 5 years? What will inspire you and what might stop you in your journey?

April 12, 2024 By Jeremy Madsen

With Dr. John C. Pulver

Tuesday, April 30, 2024, 7:00–8:00 pm Mountain Time

If you could choose your “future self,” what image comes to your mind? Do you see roadblocks, or vistas? We’ll discuss how to empower yourself to arrive where you want to be, what might be holding you back in your progression, and how you can use both personal and Godly powers in your quest for positive change. We will discuss the emotions and mental conclusions we carry with us and how they impact our behaviors.

We will also discuss the power of music and lyrics to inspire us to conviction and action, and we’ll take 4–5 minutes to listen to some of the newly-released Articles of Faith music composed by Dr. Pulver.

Bio: Dr. John C. Pulver creates uplifting and life-changing perspectives for people everywhere, using what he has gleaned over 4 careers, 3 college degrees, and decades of research.  John is a retired professor of human behavior, a retired therapist, and the author of Growing Beyond Your Family of Origin Experience and The Family Awareness Questionnaire, as well as multiple articles. John is also a composer, and in 2023 he published in English and Spanish new music to all the Articles of Faith, available at climbingupwardmusic.com or YouTube. His books and articles are found on the sister site climbingupward.com.
