CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)

This series is about two men. Both had death at their side as a constant companion. But both somehow discovered the meaning, the purpose of life. One is Dr Viktor Frankl – a holocaust survivor. The other is Dr Stephen Iacoboni, a cancer specialist, an oncologist. Two amazing stories.

Now here’s a saying that you might not have heard for a long time. “Spare the rod and spoil the child”. Maybe some of you have never heard it. The full version of it is in the Book of Proverbs in the Bible, 13:24 and it reads “Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.”

With people like John Lennon saying that we need child liberation after women’s liberation, man...

I’m continuing with my series of programmes about how you can achieve what I think is the good goal spelled out by Jordan Peterson in Rule 5 of his book “12 Rules for Life” - don’t let your children do anything that will make you dislike them.

But some people think that a parent discipling their child is destroying their unique individuality, their creativity, that discipline represses them. But are they right?

And what does this hav...

Happiness is … discipline. Limitations. The most important limitations are the ones that we know to put on ourselves because they’re going to make us fit into the world without unnecessary conflicts that are bad for us in lots of ways. And being disciplined in ourselves will actually make our lives better. But there are also limitations that are put on us from the outside. Most importantly from our parents and especially in the yea...

I’m doing programmes talking about how to achieve the result that Jordan Peterson, in Rule 5 of his book, “12 Rules for Life”, calls “Do Not Let Your Children Do Anything that Makes You Dislike Them.” I think that’s a great goal that all parents should all aim for.

Before we pass the buck to the children, saying it’s all their fault that they’re behaving so badly, we need to admit that the behaviour of our children begins and is ver...

During the flooding in northern New South Wales in early 2022, one victim interviewed on national television said how disgraceful it was that neighbours with small boats, had had to help other neighbours who were in difficulties, even danger, from the flood waters. He asked the rhetorical question, “where is the Army?”. He blamed Scott Morrison for this.

And I thought to myself, isn’t that what neighbours are supposed to do for each...

These programmes are all about children. How you as a parent, can give them the best possible whole of life. Because what you give them, or don’t give them, is the foundations for their whole life, giving them the chance at having the happiest life possible – or the opposite.

They’re definitely going to be more than capable of mucking up their lives for themselves, especially when they get older, but the chances of that happening ca...

Youth crime. It’s a big issue today. Why is there so much? Up here in Cairns, people have talked about punishing the parents for the crimes committed by their children. There’s something in that. Some fairness. But it’s not really a good idea. Because the real culprit is our society and the way we’ve let it develop. The model that we’ve brought in over the last 60 odd years from the Swinging Sixties, well, it’s slowly but surely ru...

There’s a great title to one of the rules in Jordan Peterson’s book “12 Rules for Life” - “Do Not Let Your Children Do Anything that Makes You Dislike Them”.

The chapter’s about discipline, training and encouragement of our children, especially by parents, to eventually make better adults of them. In a lot of ways discipline is a topic that’s unpopular today. Marriage, and the children of that marriage, and how they turn out are the...

It’s a public holiday. Last night you went to bed relaxed, looking forward to another quiet day of the Passover holiday. But did that ever turn into a train wreck. Tomorrow was going to be the most extraordinary day of your life. The kind of day that made you wish you’d never been born. And it began at an indecent time – the absolute crack of dawn. This was the day that a Roman soldier and public servant of no great importance, Pon...

Many experts all around the world tells us that kids as young as 3 are mature enough to make decisions about whether they want to transition to the sex opposite their birth sex – which is not possible anyway. A good way to test the level of maturity of teenagers, who of course are much older than 3, is to look at a few of the top recent TikTok challenges. After you’ve heard what they are – you tell me if these people have achieved ...

To do her Report into the operation of gender dysphoria clinics thoroughly, and to get to the bottom of issues such as why children / young people are presenting with gender confusion – and how their treatments worked for them – especially in the long term, Dr Cass needed the co-operation of National Health Service Gender Identity Development Service and its clinics. They said no. Why?

If only we’d listened to Susan Evans, a clinical nurse, about puberty blockers back in 2004 none of the disaster that has been visited on many children and young people would never have happened.

You don’t know who she is? Well it’s time for me to plug that gap in your knowledge.

With the tsunami of children self-identifying as transgender, the medical profession has enthusiastically plunged into the dark, knowing nothing of the impacts of the use, particularly long term of puberty blockers/. That’s because no one’s done the research. Anyway what harm can that do besides a few severe and often irreversible side effects, including impairing the cognitive development of the brain, decreasing bone strength, da...

There’s been scientific research into the treatments used to investigate gender dysphoria, like puberty blockers, feminising drugs, masculinising drugs and how good do you think that research is:

Average;
