Today as we worship around our Lord's table, as we celebrate with our family their bold declaration, as we honor our King, remember His sacrifice, remember His crucifixion is so much more than our passage to Heaven. Days like today acknowledge that we are “born again” new creations in Christ! John 3:3, 5-6 (NKJV) “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” v.5-6, Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with theologian and author Meggan Watterson, whose books Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself have transformed the way countless people understand Christ, the Divine Feminine, and their own inherent worthiness. Meggan opens up about her own spiritual journey as a child, having profound experiences of divine love that her secular, feminist upbringing couldn't explain. She shares how her first encounter with the traditional New Testament literally made her break out in hives, a visceral reaction to the missing feminine essence she intuitively knew belonged there. We explore the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the Acts of Paul and Thecla, texts that were deliberately excluded from the Bible, and how they reveal a Christianity that was originally subversive, egalitarian, and empowering for women. Meggan explains how these texts teach us that heaven isn't a destination after death, but a state we can access now, in these very bodies. We get into the beautiful, practical concept of the "mind of the heart" or the "spiritual eye of the heart," the internal compass that guides us to our truth when the thinking mind fails. Meggan shares a simple, powerful "three breaths" practice that anyone can use to access this inner wisdom, even in the busiest moments of life. We explore: How patriarchal erasure shaped our spiritual inheritance and why reclaiming feminine texts matters The radical teachings of the Gospel of Mary and why Jesus chose to reveal them to a woman Thecla's story and why her three days of silence mirror a modern spiritual awakening The difference between the inner critic and the authentic voice of the soul Why our worth is inherent, not earned How childhood wounds shape our patterns of choosing unavailable love The seven stages of spiritual transformation and how they unfold in real life What it means to embody divine love in the physical body How to access the mind of the heart and connect with the Beloved within The simple three-breath practice that anyone can use to return to their inner truth Remember to check out her latest book, The Girl Who Baptized Herself, a profound reimagining of Thecla's hidden gospel.You can also explore Mary Magdalene Revealed to discover the seven powers and the heart-centered teachings Jesus entrusted to Mary.

In this special 10-year anniversary series celebrating Figure That Shift Out, we're sharing ten stories of transformation, moments when leaders figured it out not by pushing harder, but by seeing more clearly. In this episode, Jared Porpiglia shares how leadership in his world looks like running into the fire. Jared's connection to Figure That Shift Out goes back to the beginning. Baptized in 2013 and handed an early copy of the book in 2014, he began leading small groups through the material before ever holding a title for it. But in 2018, everything changed. The sudden loss of a close cousin brought him face to face with his own limits.

Send us a textIn this episode, Glenn, Arnie and Fred continue discussing Acts chapter 8 where Philip was sent by the Holy Spirit to go near the chariot of the Ethiopian eunuch who was returning from worshipping God in Jerusalem. We discussed how Philip did that and was able to preach Jesus to him from Isaiah chapter 53. We note how the eunuch learned about baptism, belief and confession. We then note that there is one more thing that one must do to be saved according to Jesus, and we talk about that. We move on to a discussion of each of the specific things that New Testament says one must do to be saved. We point out the specific passages that the tell us what the Lord requires everyone to obey in order to be saved. We note that denominations teach differently about what one must do to be saved. We ran out of time before we finished this subject and will address the conclusion next week. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this episode provided for your convenience.

You took the step of baptism, now what? This week, we sat down to breakdown Pastor James' message "Who Can You Trust?" and talk about what it really means to walk out your faith after baptism. We dive into how to keep trusting Jesus when life gets loud, how to build real habits that help you grow, and what it looks like to live from the new life He's given you. If you've recently been baptized—or you're wondering what comes next in following Jesus—this conversation is for you.

In His baptism, Jesus was symbolically drenched in the sins of others so that He might carry them from the River Jordan to the cross of Calvary.

The Wilderness E8 –– In the Bible, God often turns wilderness wanderings into times of testing, purification, and preparation for returning to the garden land. The tragedy of the Hebrew Bible, however, is that when people do return to the garden, they keep following their own distorted wisdom and desires. This is why the beginning of every gospel account features a wild prophet named John, who is out in the wilderness by the Jordan River, preaching a baptism of repentance. It's a symbolic reenactment of when God purified the exodus generation through the deadly chaos waters and treacherous desert. But then Jesus approaches John, also asking to be baptized. Why? In this episode, Jon and Tim unpack the background and ministry of John the Baptizer and how Jesus' baptism connects to his larger Kingdom mission.CHAPTERSRecap of Theme and Setup for John the Baptizer (0:00-15:53)John's Background and Words to the Pharisees (15:53-38:03)Why Jesus Participates in a Baptism of Repentance (38:03-44:47)The Heavenly Announcement After Jesus' Baptism (44:47-51:33)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English, translated by Geza VermesYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Lunch Break ft.
