The Vipp Jaswal Report

From the shadow of her iconic father -Muhammad Ali- our guest is Laila Ali, who is becoming a shining star in her own right. Movie star, TV star, fitness expert, author -but most of all wife and mother - this is Laila like you have never heard before. Listen here:

In today's world the new generation has become more familiar and more accepting toward the gay community. We are told by members of the gay community that their sexual orientation is not a choice they make. However, what happens when there are some gays out there who decide to convert to heterosexuality? Our guest is Regina Griggs who serves as the Executive Director for PFOX, Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays. Listen to what she has to say:

Pastor Jay Haizlip from the hit show Preachers of LA takes us into the world of what it's like to be a "Superstar of the Pulpit". We discuss the controversies that have arisen from the show, his personal life and what to expect from Season 2. Pastor Jay is candid in this interview and shares with us his struggle with drug addiction, fame, success and challenges that he has faced with his own family. Take a listen here and form your own judgement:

When becoming the best you can be is too much work, my guest has simple steps that you can take in order to become at least a little better. Hear John Dowd Jr, author of Heroes, Mentors and Friends share his views on compassion, forgiveness, self-education, adversity and the value of meditation. He breaks it down in such a simple way that you'll feel like you've never heard it being said in this way before. He's not your typical motivational speaker and that's what makes him that little bit more special. Listen to him here.

My guest is Cheron K. Griffin who will reveal to us what it is like to be a preacher's wife not once but twice. She even pastored alongside her ex-husbands. But then it all came crashing down and she had to resurrect herself. And now she is doing so, but with a vengeance. She is producing a reality show that I hope will hit our screens shortly. It is called "Preachers' Exes" and her latest book is controversially titled: "3pm: The Preacher, the Power, the Penis, and Me". Hear her share an inspiring story of courage and pain.

My guest is Scott Schmaren. He was once overweight and when he made up his mind to lose weight he lost a mind boggling 180 lbs. This achievement led him to great recognition, and he has since been on the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Howard Stern show and has co-written a book with the likes of Deepak Chopra and Jack Canfield called "Stepping Stones to Success". But today's show is not about what you do with your body. Its about what you do with your mind that in turn affects the body. Listen to Scott explain how the mind really works.

My guest is Eric Schiffer, a visionary, an accomplished world–class business leader and a best-selling author.

A no-holds barred guest who likes to say it as he sees it. He gives his opinion on various issues that are part of American society. From political correctness to racist terminology to feminism and everything else that is socially sensitive and politically incorrect.

On this edition of The Vipp Jaswal Report – a real story of how a real woman is doing real good for those less fortunate than us. She’s devoted a large part of her life to not only giving to the less fortunate but also turned the art of giving into the art of doing. She used to be an ordinary person like you and me, but has become extraordinary in the way she conducts her life. She doesn’t seek fame, glory or recognition. She just wants to do good and in our world today. That is a very rare quality. Listen to Shelene Bryan talk about giving, her organization Skip1.org and her book “Love, Skip, Jump”.

We always hear about religious minorities being persecuted but what about persecution of the religious majority, the Christians? Is this subject considered taboo, is it considered to be politically incorrect, or is it just an inconvenient truth? Both my guests -American Pastors Network President Sam Rohrer and the Reverend Majid El Shafie, Founder of One Free World International – are Christian leaders and are asked controversial questions. You will be surprised to hear what they have to say. Listen here: Download audio file (050114_VippJaswal_shafie-rohrer.mp3)

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. -Mahatma Gandhi Today’s story is about how a woman lost her 2 grandsons in the Oklahoma City Bombing on 19th April, 1995 and then went on to develop a relationship with the convicted terrorist in order to find peace within herself and in the process extend forgiveness. This woman’s story is one of tragedy, compassion, truth and the biggest challenge of all, forgiveness. Listen here and decide for yourself. Download audio file (041814_VippJaswal_KathySanders.mp3)
