About this podcast

The Gathering With Roger B.

Roger B.

The Gathering’s talks are generally tied to one or more of the 12 Steps, but are always guided by spiritual concepts, principles and ideas common to most faiths. Topics are drawn from a variety of sources: the 12 steps, many of the well-known wisdom texts, science and other teachers that speak to a spiritual solution to life's challenges. About Roger B. Roger has been in recovery for over 43 years and has spent thousands of hours in service, sharing his experience, strength and hope. He has created curriculum for treatment centers, and lead workshops and retreats throughout the United States and Canada. Roger is a certified Spiritual Director, and offers insight into spiritually-based living skills that are relevant to all people – whether in recovery or not. Roger is the first to admit that his long-term sobriety was brought about by the “trial-and-error method.” His experience reveals what has worked, and - perhaps more importantly - what has not worked, but taught him valuable life lessons.

The Heart of Giving: Roger B. on Unconditional Love

“Love is an action. It doesn't say anything about being of service to me. The second quality of love is gratuitousness. You're doing it because it was done for you and it's the right thing to do.”

Imagine a love so pure that it expects nothing in return. That's the kind of love Roger B. talks about in this episode of 'The Gathering'. He dives deep into the idea that love is more than just a feeling; it's an action that comes straight from the heart. This isn't your typical chat about romance or affection. Instead, Roger explores how true love radiates outward, often unnoticed and unthanked.

Drawing from a rich mix of wisdom texts, scientific insights, and spiritual teachings, Roger paints a vivid picture of what it means to love selflessly. He also warns against the traps of materialism and self-delusion, which can cloud our ability to give freely. Whether you're in recovery or simply looking to enrich your spiritual life, this episode offers valuable lessons on the transformative power of unconditional love.

So, if you're ready to rethink your understanding of love and its role in your life, tune in to Roger B.'s heartfelt discussion. It's an episode that promises to touch your soul and inspire you to love more deeply.
