video conversations on important topics
Here you will find a series of conversations on the flow of your life, the importance of your life,
I have been speaking to 35,000 people per year, more
or less, for almost 20 years - always trying out ways to make the
feet-on-the-ground / head in the clouds spirituality of Jesus come alive for
the wild array of good people in our society today. I think we have
something here. I'd like these conversations to be like you and I are talking. Each of the topical conversations listed below are themselves a series of three to ten, 10 to 30 minute conversations. Each topical set of conversations sells for $9.99 (the least I can sell them for under this system I use), so I have added bonuses to try to make each purchase a good bargain. At the end of each of the individual conversations in each set, or all at one time, you can download the corresponding written words of the video, so that at the end you will have a little book in hand of exactly what we talked about. If you like, you can take a quiz at the end of each set of conversations and, if you pass, you can get a certificate of accomplishment. Moreover, once you buy a topical conversation, you can return anytime and view it again. I hope you become filled with excitement about Who You Really Are because of these personal flashlights, all aimed at your own great light. I have truly enjoyed putting them together for you!

We listened to your videos together. The words and philosophy were so beautiful and touching! We couldn’t believe how perfectly it matched us and our lives ... it was as if you were speaking our hearts. It was most beautiful – intimate and loving.
- Renee and John
How is it that we can actually love somebody else? Why is it that others communicate with our love and feel love and joy for us? This is really pretty amazing. Virtually every religion tells us that “God IS love.” So no wonder it is hard for us to grasp. But we try. Lots written on this subject, but not much has been written about the most essential of conversations – the defining characteristic of each of our selves – as we lock onto a whole array of new and energizing insights! (An added benefit to this conversation on [LOVE] is that you download a book with Jim’s words, plus the photographs of one of America’s best photojournalists, Rodney Bailey, and get to keep a magnificent color photo book you will treasure, and perhaps also give as a gift.)
I could not have imagined anything more perfect or special. Thank you for making the process so easy to understand. I appreciate your kind words, professionalism, and for making my spiritual understanding come alive.

the Physical Universe
Think we are just passing through this place, putting in time, waiting to get to the Promised Land that isn’t here? THIS is what we are given, my friend, to grow to our best selves. This is the place. Here is where we polish our rough edges and accumulate so many insights, experiences and memories that it will take an eternity to wallow in their joy. We are in charge here; we have been given the opportunity to make this timely gift better, so that we become better by that process. We don’t want to blow this one.
Jim was wonderful. We loved how much experience he had, which came out in everything he said. It was eye-opening, but seemed to suit our particular beliefs, which made it perfect for us. We felt that he was interacting with us in person. Fantastic. Highly recommended.
- Dave and Alexis
("Sacramental") Life
All of life is sacred – is “sacramental.” Some special moments in a sacred/sacramental life are heads and shoulders above other, more average moments, and we highlight those as special “sacraments” of life. There are many such moments in our lives. Here’s how to recognize them, to celebrate them, and to honor how they thrust us forward.
Beautiful and unique video conversations! I could compliment Jim Burch for months. The videos really seemed to involve me, they were very inspirational, and the greatest thing is that they seemed tailored just for me. I loved the format - very personal and very intimate. And, without spending months in a college course, I learned more. He's got it down! What he said was both modern and traditional without too many traditional religious overtones. But it did cover my religious beliefs, and was very spiritual. Perfectly catered to me!!
- Nabeel
It was everything I had hoped for and more. You spoke what I felt in my heart, yet had never quite voiced. Thank you for everything.

Spoken for the person who is grieving over the Loss of a Male loved one, this series of video conversations has none of the usual religious pabulum you might be dreading to hear again. How do we know there is life after death when we can’t prove it? Listen here! Is your loved one still with you and still loving you right now? You are going to love these answers and know they’re true.
It was absolutely beautiful. The wisdom and guidance you’ve shared with us will be treasured always. Thank you!
- Rathna and Hanna
Than Meets the Eye
We may think we walk around on solid ground. We may think that whatever our life force is, it inhabits this material plane now, which is the surest reality. We may think the soul lives in the body. We may think this world is “real” and everything else is questionable. WRONG! Our Life Force (soul) is the power here – brilliant, filled with light, perfect at its core – and our journey at this time is to pick up experiences through our choices. There is great power in what we constantly do. Listen to these conversations and decide if it is wise for you to use those choices well, and build yourself a spiritual palace of light, love and joy.
Your conversations were truly inspirational and had us not only captivated, but in another place, which was exactly what we wanted, but thought was not possible. We can’t tell you how absolutely inspirational your talks were. You had us on the edge of our seats, hanging off of every word that you uttered. We just wanted to hear what you were going to say next. We could not have asked for more.
- Rebecca and Ryan
- the Reason for Evil and Sin
Every religion, philosophy, theology and culture confronts the universal question: why is there evil in this world? How can such bad things happen to ME, when I tried to lead a good life. And every religion, philosophy, theology and culture seems to either stumble over the answers or quickly change the topic. The truth is that we each get ALL of it, the “good” and the “bad.” Maybe it’s all good. In fact, it is. If you want to seep this beautiful insight into the marrow of your bones and brain, check this set of conversations out.
The conversation itself was amazing and your words were so sincere. It was a great combination of religion, but down to earth with relatable words. I showed this to some of my family and everyone instantly loved you.

This is not your usual recitation of the events that shaped the community of Jesus through the ages, or how the ages shaped the community of Jesus. We’re going to suggest you get those details elsewhere, and take notice here of some sweeping questioning, some observations about where the church went off track (e.g., in its treatment of women, its teachings on sex, its elevation of its clergy, and its self absorption in its own aggrandizement and inflated importance). Ideas on reforms … but – more importantly – recognition that how we each act toward others is what is crucial.
Getting your conversations was absolutely one of the beat decisions I made. Now I will be listening to more. I still can't get over how much I loved all this!

Your non-judgmental spirituality and your modern approach to God, love, life made for a more perfect clarity in these important spiritual underpinnings of my life!
- Dale
The history of evolution is the emergence of consciousness. Underneath all the enormously complicated physical forces and reactions going on at every split second is the consciousness that gives it all creative existence. Yet “God” is not some “Creator” in the usual sense, because God is not a human who got bored and wondered what to do next. We are each part of this Universal Consciousness, this Loving Consciousness, that breathed everything that is into expression and sustains it in life and love. No script writer could ever have come up with a more magnificent set-up for us to walk into.
We are so grateful for your loving energy you brought to your talks. Everything was so joyful, and perfectly manifested how we feel. What a beautiful way to understand this amazing journey.
- Christine and Bill
conversation 11:
Is Jesus our “savior?” Did he come to save us from damnation, and without him we are doomed? Did he tell us he was God, form a line behind him, and keep marching? Did his death win each of us favor with God again, who had been ticked off at us before Jesus’ sacrificial death? Does God now love us again because Jesus died for us? Or did it happen another way, the way that Jesus himself said it did. He said he was a human being, just like us. He said he reached perfection through his choices, so that he perfectly reflected the Loving Consciousness we call “God” that now lived completely within him. He said that if we listen to his teachings on how God is expressed in Everything That Is, act on that message, make it happen in us – then we will be just like him one day. He finished the job of telling us all about God, and then commissioned us to go be that. A brilliant life, a brilliant message, a brilliant invitation.
Your "conversation" was spiritual while not being religious and was the perfect balance. It made for a beautiful and memorable learning experience.

an Ideal Church Community
for the 21st Century
(coming soon)
Is there a place for something called a “church” today? (Yes) Will “church” look anything like what we have come to see it as for almost two millennia? (No) When Institutional Church says “this is the way things were, the way they are now, and the way we say they will be always,” that Institutional Church is corralling the Holy Spirit, trying to put her in a pen. She is free as the wind and is blowing all over the place. Let yourself go with her. Take a look at where God has us now – even though we don’t know where we will blow to next – and see how beautiful and freeing it is to adapt!
What I saw was the perfect balance of religion, spiritually, and the expression of love. What a blessing it was to witness such beautiful insights.
- Marty
I just cannot thank you enough for such a beautiful, meaningful exposition of the spirituality that fits me so well. It spoke to my heart. You have a special message that everyone can all relate to.
- Dena
The sacred books of most religions – including Christianity’s Bible – tell us virtually nothing about this place most of us yearn to go. So what in the world is thisplace? (Or, is it “in this world” and a “place?”) Well, it’s not a bunch of former-people singing hymns to God (boring!). It is SO much better than we have previously imagined. And we have some pretty clear insights to what it is because of so many people who have been there and come back to tell us about it (Yes, really … 15 million of them in the USA alone!). Good News for inquiring minds …
Your remarks were absolutely beautiful and very poignant. I couldn’t have been happier.
- Mira
I am such a puny piece of the magnificence of this universe. This universal expression of Loving Consciousness (“God”) is so enormous, so mysterious, so glorious, so filled with light and color and love, that I am just a lost piece of forgettable dust. Except that … size making no difference, I AM A CANDLE IN THIS SUN; I AM A DROP IN THIS OCEAN. I am IT, even if not all of it. And I express this Loving Consciousness fully! Want to know how this can be? Watch this set of conversations …
A loving note can barely express how you have added to my happiness. I would like to send sincerest thanks for creating such special, solemn and personalized clarity about subjects so often befuddling.
- Allen
A lot of things you should know about the New Testament, maybe even some things you didn’t know. The Gospels of Mark, Matthew, John, Luke. Then Acts and the Epistles. The essentials for understanding the New Testament. You can’t just read the New Testament and understand it all innately. You will be astonished with the brilliance and beauty here, once we clean up some debris and misunderstandings. You are going to love this ending.
Jim did such a wonderful job of explaining things that had always seemed to escape explanation - it was beautiful and meaningful. I was raised Catholic and have a predisposition to understand things the "Catholic" way, but still find myself turned off by so many traditional elements. Jim's talks ended up being perfect; there was a simplicity, but also a recognition of the significance of it all.

How does my innate spirituality, the foundational base upon which I make all my intermediate decisions, call me to act in the public arena today? If I really follow the best of Who I Am, should I partake in my community or government? Am I to be a conservative or a liberal? To be a true “Christian,” there is only one answer … and not the one you see bellowed all too often, all around you.
You were able to create a series of talks in which the love is just felt, and I was able to enjoy the spirituality of it all, while continuing to stay involved in what usually has the tendency to lose me. I have to admit that I have found many things like this to be boring and long. You were fantastic. You were interesting, lively, gave phenomenal insights, and were able to capture the essence of love, and make me FEEL it. I got so caught up in the romance of your words that I could almost SEE the love. I was overwhelmed with the feelings you were able to capture.
- Jennifer
