What would it take for an agnostic man to believe in God? For Marco Cygnel, it took a direct encounter with evil spirits. What started as a subtle shift in his girlfriend's behavior escalated into a confrontation with multiple demons—and what appears to have been a fallen angel. It's a story he'll never forget, and one you'll want to listen to closely.Extra Content ▶ https://almostfalse.net/supportersGuest Links ▶ https://almostfalse.net/supporters/videos/series/4508Website ▶ https://almostfalse.netMerch Store ▶ https://almostfalse.net/pages/merchDiscord ▶ https://discord.gg/h4eeEt57jk

Send us a text"I am a 73-year-old spiritual teacher in southern Indiana. My background, in chronological order, is Christianity, agnosticism, the Eastern traditions, paganism, ceremonial magic, Kabbalah, Judaism, and finally the Path the Water. In the 70's, after exhausting the avenues of Christianity, I became open to eastern thought, primarily Hinduism and Buddhism. In 1978 I was initiated into Suret Shabd yoga by Darshan Singh. At the time circumstances led me away from that path although my journey eventually led me back to it. During that side journey I became interested in ceremonial magic which eventually led me to the Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). Judaism took me back to the Bible in which, aided by Kabbalistic principles, I discovered the Path of Water. The Path of Water is the mystery of baptism or the Mikvah. I have written two books on the subject, I've included a link to a description of the latest one, “Who Do Men Say That I Am?”"https://youtu.be/FuZ4j-upG-MResources:www.SoulAwakeningStore.comwww.claudiumurgan.comclaudiu@claudiumurgan.comhttps://spirituallyinspired.buzzsprout.comSubscribe for more videos! youtube.com/channel/UC6RlLkzUK_LdyRSV7DE6obQSupport the show

Send us a textDoes heaven really exist? Does everyone go there when they die?  Can we know for sure that we will go to heaven?  In this podcast, you'll learn the answers to these questions from a man who has studied over fifteen hundred near- death experiences.  Best -selling author John Burke joins Brian, Terry and Dan for this exciting edition of FINISH STRONG.  He shares thrilling accounts of heaven from people who were clinically dead but came back to life.  These near- death survivors include people from various professions, cultures and faiths.  They include people of all ages including children.  John has even interviewed blind people who describe the amazing things they “saw” after they died! The common experiences of these near -death survivors point to the heaven described in the Bible.  However, not all of these people experienced heaven.  Some described going to a place they could only describe as hell.  Don't miss this amazing discussion.  As you listen to John Burke, you'll discover that heaven is even more amazing than you could ever imagine!imagineheaven.netSupport the showFearless Faith Websiteffaith.orgTo leave a review - Open Finish Strong on the Apple Podcast app and scroll down until you see "Ratings & Reviews".

Dev Mittar, Ph.D., Scientific Director of the ASM Health Scientific Unit discusses the use of metagenomic next generation sequencing to develop agnostic diagnostic technology, giving scientists and clinicians alike, a tool to diagnose any infectious disease with one single test. He also discusses how the ASM Health Unit is empowering scientists and leveraging microbial science innovations to address critical global health challenges and improve lives worldwide. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways The Division of Research, Innovation and Ventures is a small entrepreneurial arm of BARDA that takes on early-stage projects with high potential of turning into medical countermeasures. Prior to his role as Scientific Director for ASM Health, Mittar worked as a health scientist and program officer at DRIVe, where he focused on advancing high-impact science. He is particularly passionate about his work to develop agnostic diagnostics—a single test that uses metagenomic next generation sequencing to identify any pathogen from 1 clinical sample. Mittar discusses applications for this technology in surveillance (pandemic preparedness), variant detection, AMR and clinical settings (diagnosing complicated infections where etiology is not clearly defined). He also shares how a recent bout with illness emphasized the value and potential of this technology to save money, time, pain and suffering of the patient. Agnostic diagnostics can also help prevent the overuse/misuse of antibiotics, which are key factors in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Furthermore, when this technology is coupled with the use of metatranscriptomics, it can provide information about the patient's immune profile that can be helpful in developing personalized treatment strategies, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach. ASM is organizing around 3 scientific units, ASM Health, ASM Mechanism Discovery and ASM Applied and Environmental Microbiology. These units will empower researchers and scientists to use science make a difference in the world and provide a forum for them to come together to shape the future of the field.

In the final sermon in our Faith & Film series, Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter explores what it means to live courageously in a world that often demands our silence and compliance. Drawing inspiration from the film The Way Way Back, the abolitionist legacy of Thaddeus Stevens, and the struggles we face in today's political and personal climate, this message calls us to resist fear, reject prescribed paths, and claim the freedom to live as our truest selves. If you're facing hard truths, longing for justice, or searching for the courage to be fully yourself, this message offers space and strength for the journey.

In this Unitarian Universalist Pride Sunday sermon, Rev. T. J. Fitzgerald weaves together the story of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, queer theology, and the lived realities of LGBTQ+ people. From Miles Morales' transformation into Spider-Man to the words of Audre Lorde and James Baldwin, Rev. Fitzgerald explores how heroism, guilt, and survival are central to both superhero stories and queer existence. Drawing parallels between the multiverse of Spider-People and the diverse beauty of queer identity, this message boldly proclaims: queer love is powerful, sacred, and it wins.

The Grapes of Wrath, based on John Steinbeck's classic novel, is a powerful exploration of human dignity, social justice, and the pursuit of a better life. The film challenges us to reflect on economic inequality, the struggles of the marginalized, and the enduring power of hope and solidarity in the face of adversity. It calls us to act with compassion and empathy toward those who suffer and to advocate for justice in the world.

Babe, the heartwarming story of a pig who dreams of becoming a sheepdog, reminds us that kindness, empathy, and the courage to be ourselves are at the heart of transformation. Through Babe's journey, we are invited to reflect on the importance of compassion and how it transcends species, class, and expectations.

In this sermon, Rev. Beth Dana opens our Faith and Film Series with a deep look at Disney's Moana 2 through the lens of Unitarian Universalist faith, Pacific Island history, and womanist theology. Moana's journey to reconnect her people becomes a powerful metaphor for how we find our way in hard times - when the path isn't clear, when we feel lost, or when we're trying to heal what's been broken. Rev. Dana weaves in the true story of Queen Liliʻuokalani, Hawaii's last monarch, and reflects on the spiritual power of aloha, the wisdom of our ancestors, and how we move forward with love and justice. Whether you're a fan of Moana, exploring spirituality, or seeking hope in uncertain times, this sermon offers guidance, courage, and connection.
