Ep.12 - a mental about-face on a homeward trudge
Hey, INSIDERS ! It’s been a minute on the podcast front, but I am SO excited for this one! My dad is currently in Australia for a visit so we decided to sit down, turn the mics on, and do a little storytelling. In our first-ever recorded chat, we pull out a story from the Cox Family archives. We laugh, reminisce, and chat about the power of gratitude and the impact of our inner narratives. This is a fun one! www.theinsidejob.com.au peace and JOY! -Phil Thanks for listening! Did it set your heart ablaze? If so, share it with a pal! If not, share it with an enemy!

Ep.10 - Tohu vaVohu
In the story found in Genesis 1, God creates a beautiful and fruitful universe in which humans and all living things can thrive. That’s where the story ends, but it begins with tohu va-vohu - an unproductive, disordered, and chaotic landscape. This desolate beginning point provides the raw materials the Divine uses to bring about something beneficial and good (and he can do the same for you). peace and JOY!! -Phil Get full access to The Inside Job at philipcox.substack.com/subscribe

Ep.09 - ROB BELL
Wow. Wow. Wow. What a joy this one was! I got to sit down with Rob Bell to chat about all he’s up to these days - especially his newest project, WHERE’D YOU PARK YOUR SPACESHIP books 1&2. Rob’s work has meant so much to me over the years and to be able to sit down and chat, and especially to get the chance to say THANK YOU for all he’s done for so many of us, was just an absolute joy. If you don’t know Rob or haven’t kept up with his work, I’d highly recommend heading to his website robbell.com and check him out. If you’re an audiobook person, or an AUDIBLE person, use your next credits (how good are those NEW CREDIT days!?) on his Spaceship Series. They are amazing. The first 5 minutes are just my audio intro and then the video kicks in with Rob and me after that. Also, I spend about 8 minutes or so telling him a bit of mine and Suz’s story, so feel free to listen in or to skip past it. Whatever you do, ENJOY the deep wisdom from this amazing man. —peace and JOY— Phil Thanks for reading The Inside Job!

Ep. 03 - Just Practicing!
We’re gettin’ practical with this one! Today we’re looking at 4 very straightforward ways to concretise our ideals into everyday actions that can renew, refresh, challenge, stretch, and transform us - all through the power of RITUALISING some very ordinary things already in our lives.

Ep. 02 - Welcome one, Welcome all
Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or Substack! OFFENCE is one of the quickest ways we can stall out in our spiritual growth. We encounter hundreds of opportunities every day to be offended. A dominant reason we get offended is because our preferences and ideals aren’t being met by the person in front of us. While we could continue to resist this person, this experience and remain frustrated, ultimately it cost us our joy, peace, and freedom. So, instead of resisting, what if we learned to WELCOME them instead? Thanks for listening to The Inside Job!
