Penna to discuss a powerful and largely forgotten Catholic devotion: the Angelic Warfare Confraternity — a prayerful response the Church has relied on for centuries in the battle for purity of heart.This conversation explores:Why the Church understands lust as a spiritual battleHow prayer and community have always been central to the Church's responseWhy this ancient devotion is especially needed todaySupport the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com
This episode of the Angel Mystic Podcast explores the fastest way to get unstuck.Feeling stuck can be exhausting, confusing and heavy, and yet so many of us try to work through it alone. Inside the episode I share how asking for help is only half the picture and why allowing support is often the missing piece.I take you behind the scenes of my own journey with support, including the moment I invested the last of my credit card balance into coaching that changed my business and my life.This episode is a powerful reminder that real transformation rarely happens in isolation. When we allow support, guidance and accountability in, breakthroughs become easier.If you feel stuck in your mindset, money, confidence or direction, or you are simply tired of carrying everything alone, this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear. I also share Angel card guidance for the week ahead, offering a message of forgiveness and softness at exactly the right time.Host Bio:Amanda Tooke renowned Spiritual Teacher and NLP Manifestation Coach is the host of the Angel Mystic Podcast.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto, January 18, 2026. Today's Gospel presents the account of Jesus' baptism seen through the lens of John the Evangelist. Its the Evangelist's take. The Baptist appears in the description. (John 1:29-34). But John the Evangelist here interprets the baptism not simply as an event, but as a revelation of identity and mission. Jesus' mission is to be the Lamb that will take away the sin of the world. We need humility to recognize our sins, and embrace God's forgiveness. Have I really done that?Thumbnail : Francisco de Zurbarán, The Lamb of God, 1635, Prado Museum in Madrid.Music: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Angelic, with license.

Show NotesIn this episode of the Angel Mystic Podcast, I dive into what Angel readings really do for you and clear up some of the most common misconceptions around them. So many people come for readings searching for certainty, answers or reassurance, but true Angel guidance goes far beyond prediction. It isn't about outsourcing your power. It brings you back to your inner knowing, your intuition and the truth that the answers are already within you. I share how Angel readings regulate the nervous system, calm the chaos and remind you that you are guided, held and never alone. I also talk about how Angels don't override your free-will, they don't tell you what to do and they certainly don't control outcomes. They reconnect you with your own inner wisdom so that you leave empowered rather than dependent on a reader. I walk through how the real magic often begins after the reading when the guidance becomes an invitation to integrate, trust and move forward with confidence. I finish with Angel card guidance for the week ahead and share some of the signs to watch out for. If you're curious about Angel readings, want to deepen your connection with your Angels or are ready to learn to read cards for yourself, this episode opens a new way of seeing the work.Host Bio:Amanda Tooke renowned Spiritual Teacher and NLP Manifestation Coach is the host of the Angel Mystic Podcast.

MIRACLES: The metaphysical concept of "miracles of angels" refers to extraordinary events, often seen as divine interventions that people attribute to the presence, actions, or communication of angels, who are considered supernatural spiritual beings that serve God. These accounts of Angelic miracles, shared in various Biblical texts and personal testimonies, include stories of miraculous healing, protection from harm, receiving important messages, and experiencing profound spiritual guidance or unexplained fortunate outcomes.

Show NotesIn this episode of the Angel Mystic Podcast, I dive into a topic that can be a bit triggering: why you haven't won the lottery yet. Not from a place of logic, odds, or strategy, but from an energetic and spiritual perspective. I explore how focusing on winning the lottery can actually block abundance, why money amplifies rather than fixes, and how your nervous system, self-identity, and capacity to receive play a much bigger role in wealth manifestation than most people realize. I discuss why sudden wealth can create anxiety, sabotage and visibility fears, how your body might associate abundance with loss or overwhelm, and why wealth arrives to the version of you that is becoming, not the version that is waiting. I also share what's happening at Angel HQ this month and end with the Angelic Insights for the week of January 12th–18th. If you've ever wondered “Why not me?” when it comes to abundance, this episode might just change how you see the whole thing.Host Bio:Amanda Tooke renowned Spiritual Teacher and NLP Manifestation Coach is the host of the Angel Mystic Podcast.

Rachel Corpus is an intuitive channel whose life has been shaped by direct experiences of the unseen. From early childhood, she perceived angels, loved ones in spirit, and the energetic fields of those around her. At the age of four, a near-death experience carried her into the Heavenly Realm, where she was shown the truth of her nature: that she is a Seraphim Angel in human form, here with a clear mission of remembrance.That mission is to help humanity remember its direct relationship with God — not as something mediated or earned, but as something already present. Through ongoing communion with God and a life devoted to service, Rachel now works as an angelic communicator, spiritual guide, and host of the Angel Talk podcast, with the purpose of bringing love, truth, and living our best possible lives. Together, Ryan and Rachel explore:• What it truly means to walk with angels as a human being• Near-death experience and conscious remembrance• The Seraphim realm and angelic incarnation• Soul vs ego discernment and bodily truth• Ego as protector — not enemy• Spiritual protection, boundaries, and faith without fear• Ghosts vs spirit and energetic discernment• Parenting intuitive, sensitive children• Angelic hierarchies and heavenly helpers• Awakening timelines and collective responsibility• Why kindness is not soft — it is transformational Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,Ryan Connect with RachelWebsite: https://rachelcorpus.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rachelcorpusangelcommunicator Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theangelcounselor Podcast: Angel Talk - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/angel-talk/id1541415578 Connect with Always Better Than YesterdayWebsite: https://abty.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Men's Group: https://abty.co.uk/akiraJoin our mailing list:https://abty.co.uk/contactSign up for coaching:https://abty.co.uk/coachingPlease email questions and reflections to:podcast@abty.co.uk #RachelCorpus #WalkingWithAngels #Seraphim #AngelTalk

Welcome to the first Angel Mystic Podcast episode of 2026.In this episode, I share why the New Year isn't really about forcing resolutions or pushing yourself harder, but about energetic preparation and alignment. I talk about how to create your most aligned year and tuning into the version of yourself you want to embody moving forward. We explore why manifestation works best and what the true foundations of everything you want to create are.I also guide you through simple yet powerful practices if you want manifestations to feel effortless rather than exhausting. We also explore the power of choosing a word of the year and how one word can shape every area of your life in subtle but transformational ways.To close the episode, I tune into the Angel guidance for the first week of January, offering insight into the themes, challenges, and opportunities unfolding as 2026 begins. If you're feeling called to start this year differently, with more alignment and less pressure, this episode will help you set the energetic foundation for everything that's to come.

Hello my friend, Have you ever quietly wondered, "Why do I feel different?" Not better. Not worse. Just… different. I've carried that question most of my life—and this year, I received an answer I didn't expect. In my latest podcast episode, I share a very personal experience: a soul life regression with Dr. Linda Backman that helped me understand why I am the way I am—and why so many intuitive, sensitive, purpose-driven people feel out of place in the world. This conversation isn't about labels though. It's about new awareness, understanding yourself, and self-compassion. If you've ever: • felt like you don't quite fit in • questioned your sensitivity or depth • wondered if there's a bigger reason for how you're wired… This episode is for you. You don't need to know your soul type, although you'll probably learn it after listening. I'd love to hear what comes up for you! Let us know at team@juliereisler.com.
IntroductionLuke's Gospel invites us to hear a story that turns the world upside down. Kings reign, empires boast of peace, and yet heaven quietly enters history through a peasant couple in a crowded town. What Luke gives us is not a story of political triumph or cultural success, but divine irony. The true King arrives when the world's rulers appear to have everything under control. As we follow Luke's narration, we encounter three surprising groups. First, there are insiders who should have recognized their King. Second, there are outsiders who had no right to believe but did. And last, the compromised witnesses bear witness to the unlikely events. Luke wants us to feel the tension: that the kingdom of God breaks into the world where no one expects it, and through people no one would choose.Evil Insiders? Luke sets Christ's birth in a world where Christ is supposed to bring world peace. The problem: Caesar has beaten the Lord to this goal. It seems that Caesar is calling the shots. He calls a world census, and Joseph follows the call. We can think about how it is that God is establishing his king, and it is Rome's king that is driving and calling the shots? Luke chooses to let that question linger for a moment. One would expect that Joseph, a descendant of David, would simply have a room. The story has been understood that Joseph is a poor planner. However, Bailey points out that it is not the case. I think Bailey brings out a lot of helpful history regarding Christ's birth, but we need to note at least two major things: Joseph is in the line of David, but he is tied to peasants. He does not stay in a wealthy man's house. (Luke wants us to know this detail)The world is not embracing this child. This would include Jerusalem, which has failed to welcome Christ. The point is that the people who should embrace the Messiah and welcome the messiah as king are failing to do so. His being laid in a manger will be echoed when Christ dies. He is wrapped and laid in a tomb. The insiders in the city of David should roll out the red carpet and secure a palace for Christ. However, the city is ruled by Rome's ruler. Has the Lord entered history too late? Strange OutsidersWe would expect that Christ's birth would be announced to priests or diplomats. At least, that is how Matthew introduces Christ's significance. Christ received a proper greeting that recalls Solomon with the Queen of Sheba. The nations are coming to bring gifts to Christ. Luke makes it very clear that Christ is the peasant king for the simple people. There are shepherds in the field. These would be social and religious outsiders with a reputation for uncleanness. This is not only because the Levites see them as uncouth, but even Rome would not allow them to testify in court. They lacked the credibility and integrity to be believed. However, these men that we would consider outsiders receive the testimony of Christ from Angelic messengers. They see heaven's glory, and they are moved to find the child. They are moved to report these things. It is ironic that the first witnesses have no credibility to be credible witnesses. Has the Lord failed in his mission? A city that rejects, and now there are witnesses bearing witness who cannot credibly testify in court. ConclusionLuke's birth narrative reminds us that God's story does not depend on human recognition, status, or credibility. The insiders failed to welcome Christ, but the outsiders who had nothing to offer became the honored guests of heaven's announcement. The pattern is clear: Christ comes to the unworthy to make them worthy. The manger and the cross both testify that God's grace is not earned but given. Christ is the King who understood the problem of the fall. He is the priest-king who understood the loss of the fall. He is the priest-king-prophet who speaks and acts to overcome. He is the action and word of God. He is God who has taken on the flesh. He is God who has come as the servant to be raised as the victorious priest-king. He is the definitive word from heaven. Let us bow before him, live in him, and find our lives in him.
Dare To Dream with Debbi Dachinger DANNION BRINKLEY: 28 Minutes Dead. What He Learned in Crystal City About Humanity's Purpose! Understanding Human Purpose! Dannion Brinkley joins Debbi Dachinger for a profound and life-altering conversation on near-death experiences, human destiny, and the evolution of consciousness. In this episode, Dannion shares what he learned after surviving three near-death experiences, beginning with a lightning strike in 1975 that stopped his heart for 28 minutes. During that crossing, he entered a vast Crystal City and encountered angelic beings who revealed humanity's purpose, the mechanics of the life review, and prophetic visions of Earth's future. Drawing from nearly 50 years of service with the dying and veterans at the end of life, Dannion explains why death is not an ending — and how every choice we make ripples across lifetimes. If you've ever wondered why you're here, what happens when we die, or how consciousness survives the body — this episode will change how you understand life itself.

We’re diving deep into the First VIsion accounts with Historian Dan Vogel. He offers a deep dive into the historical developments of early Mormonism, challenging both critics and believers to look closer at the documents. What if Joseph Smith was neither a simple con man nor a traditional prophet, but something more complex? https://youtu.be/uVVJcgmyUKA Don't miss our other conversations on the First Vision: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/first-vision/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved “Pious Fraud” Theory Vogel describes himself as a “moderate” critic who seeks the most charitable view of Joseph Smith that a non-believer can hold. He proposes the theory of “pious fraud,” viewing Smith as an “inspired pseudepigraphist”. In this framework, Smith believed he was genuinely called by God to teach true doctrine but used intentional deception—such as the physical gold plates—to provide “evidence” that would make it harder for others to reject his message. Vogel compares this to a faith healer who uses suggestion or minor “tricks” to raise an audience’s faith level so that they are prepared to receive what they believe are real miracles. For Smith, the “greater good” was the salvation of his followers and the conversion of his own family. Evolution of the First Vision One of the most significant points of Vogel's research is the evolution of the First Vision narrative. He highlights that the earliest recorded account from 1832 is markedly different from the canonized 1838 version. The 1832 Account: This version mentions only one personage (Jesus) and focuses on Smith's personal remission of sins. There is no mention of a revival or a command to stay away from all churches; rather, Smith had already concluded the churches were wrong by the age of 12. The 1838 Account: This version, written during a time of intense persecution in Missouri, includes the 1820 revival and a mandate that all other creeds were an “abomination”. Vogel argues that the 1820 date for the revival is anachronistic, noting that historical records place the great Palmyra revival in 1824–25. He suggests Smith moved the event back in his history to transform a personal “born-again” experience into a foundational event for the entire Church. Priesthood and the “Chain of Ordinations” Angelic ordinations were likely a later development. Vogel asserts that early on, authority was understood as a direct command from God through a seer stone or revelation, rather than the laying on of hands by angels. It wasn’t until around 1834–35 that detailed stories of John the Baptist and Peter, James, and John appeared in the records. Vogel posits these stories were introduced to solidify Joseph Smith's authority against internal challengers and to create a formal “chain of ordinations” that was harder to break. Theological Shifts: From One God to Three Vogel tracks a clear evolution in Smith’s theology regarding the nature of God: Modalism: The Book of Mormon reflects a view where Jesus is both the Father and the Son. Bi-theism/Trinitarianism: The Lectures on Faith (1835) describe God as a personage of spirit and the Son as a personage of tabernacle. Physical Personages: Only later, in the Nauvoo period, did Smith teach that both the Father and the Son have physical bodies of flesh and bone. We'll dive deeper into all 4 First Vision narratives.

Show NotesIn this episode of The Angel Mystic Podcast, I explore a question I'm asked constantly: is it better to manifest with a vision board or a crystal grid? As we move toward 2026, many of us are thinking about our intentions for the year ahead, and I share how each tool works very differently, why one may suit you better than the other, and how I personally use both depending on what feels aligned. I talk about the energy behind creation, the importance of intention, and why manifesting isn't about New Year's resolutions but about clarity, alignment and feeling good. I also share the story of how I once manifested a free cruise through a vision board and why crystal grids have become my preferred method. I wrap up with Angelic guidance for the week ahead, supporting you as you release the old year, ground your energy, make decisions you've been avoiding and welcome the new frequency of joy, love and happiness that 2026 invites in.

Today’s Bible Verse: “When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’” — Luke 2:15 Luke 2:15 captures the moment when faith turns into movement. The shepherds didn’t debate, delay, or demand proof—they responded. After hearing heaven’s announcement, they chose to step toward what God had revealed. Want to listen without ads?

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Under Caesar's census, the world seems ruled by distant power, yet God quietly keeps His ancient promises in a crowded Bethlehem stable. In part 8 of our special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we move from the shadows of promise to the bright light of fulfillment as the long-awaited Son is given. Angelic hosts flood the night sky with praise, lowly shepherds become the first evangelists, and Mary treasures these things in her heart as heaven proclaims peace on earth to those on whom God's favor rests. The Rev. Zelwyn Heide, pastor of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hannover, ND and Zion Lutheran Church in New Salem, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Luke 2:1–21. To learn more about St. Peter and Zion Lutheran Churches, visit stpeterzion.org. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh." Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Loneliness, Oneness, and Angelic Stillness: Pedro's Angel Stories & Miracles in Motion In today's episode, we begin with an angel message for those feeling lonely, unseen, or “too much” and then we welcome Pedro, a minister whose life has been shaped by powerful angel encounters, stillness, and surprising miracles (including a car that wouldn't go in reverse). Pedro shares his first childhood experience of yelling at God in a dark closet and suddenly being filled with radiant love, how he experiences angels as “pure thought,” and how that same felt sense of oneness has guided him into ministry, through financial uncertainty, and into unexpected opportunities. Together, we talk about stillness as the highest frequency, trusting that God uses everything (even pneumonia and broken cars), and how we can become channels of blessing for others. This conversation is tender, funny, and deeply spiritual especially if you've ever felt alone, worried about money, or unsure how God and the angels are moving in your life. Work with Julie & Your Angels If you've been feeling the nudge I want to hear my angels clearly, I want to work with them every day here's how to go deeper:
