Tribulation Part 4, Taking Yourself Too Seriously - Errol Strider

This week, we will end our series about tribulation on a high note, with our insightful, friend Errol Strider.

Errol has performed at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, Goodman Theater in Chicago, Café LaMama in New York and has appeared with such stars as Harv Presnell, Daryl Hickman, Rita Gardner and Lola Fisher. He has written the critically acclaimed plays, Family Baggage and the award winning Adventures to Closetmush.  A poet and author of the books Journeys to the Source, Welcome to Your Universe, Answers are Timid, and Elfbert, Santa's Reluctant Helper, he was nominated for a National Cable Emmy Award and won the Jefferson University Oral Interpretation Contest and a Urantian video contest, with Own Your Own Soul.

He's taught acting, dance, creativity and spirituality at the University of Miami, Dominican University, Naropa West University in Oakland, and Mundelein College in Chicago. He is also a practicing Board Certified Hypnotherapist and he's a long time student of The Urantia Book.

Errol and his wife Rochelle have devoted the last 28 years to this ministry, traveling extensively all across the United States doing performances, conducting workshops, and classes. Their latest endeavor is a radio show called, "Insight Out-The Naked Truth" which draws on a variety of teachings from various traditions of spirituality, psychology, philosophy and revelation, and makes them accessible, relevant, poignant and funny.

Errol says, "So much of the troubles and suffering in our world come from limited perspectives, un-challenged beliefs and assumptions, and last but not least, taking ourselves way too seriously. Many humans struggle unnecessarily because the context in which we attempt to understand our lives, establish values, and make decisions, is conditioned by ignorance, fear and confused thinking."
