He once wore a ninja mask on our show. Now, he's back, unmasked, unapologetic, and wielding ancient energies like a multidimensional Jedi. In this mind-expanding episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we welcome back Benton Ryer, a shamanic energy healer, occult practitioner, and author of The Shores of Eternity. But this time, he's stepping out of the shadows to talk openly about his powerful healing work, and even leads us through a live on-air healing session you'll feel through your speakers. From purging unseen energies to confronting hidden trauma stored in the body, Benton explains the mysterious Japanese system of Ko Shinto, a long-forgotten spiritual tradition that clears energetic impurities at a depth most modalities can't touch. He opens up about how he helped Will during his cancer journey, how most people won't accept healing when it's offered, and why skepticism often masks deeper spiritual resistance. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or already a believer in the unseen realms, this is one episode you won't forget. Who Is Benton Ryer?Author of The Shores of Eternity: A Memoir of SorceryKo Shinto practitioner specializing in purification ritesFormer masked guest known for nightly energy healing sessions on InstagramMartial artist with a background in Judo and Japanese esotericismNow based in Japan, continuing his spiritual studiesWhat You'll Discover in This EpisodeWhy Benton hid his identity during his first interview, and why he's now ready to be seenHow he works with ancient Japanese spirits (the kabi) to clear dense, parasitic energiesWhat really happens in a Ko Shinto purification, and why it's not the same as ReikiThe dangers of spiritual arrogance and why most “healers” aren't doing the real workThe energetic parasites that attach to gifted people, and why Benton says even your spirit guides may not be what they seemHis thoughts on “occult” being misunderstood as “evil”, and why his work is anything butA deeply moving moment: Benton shares how he worked on Will during cancer, and how the results stunned his doctorsThe truth about why so many people reject healing, even when they're in painWhy This Episode Matters This isn't your typical energy healer story.

John Burke returns for a deeper dive into the harder questions surrounding near-death experiences. After 40 years of researching over 1,500 cases from every continent and religious background, Burke tackles what people consistently report about hell, spiritual warfare, angelic beings, and the nature of God.This episode explores the uncomfortable testimonies of hellish experiences—from the outer darkness to pits of fire, from victims of spiritual torment to those trapped chasing earthly addictions. Burke discusses why some NDEs involve deception by malevolent beings, the role of tunnel experiences as spiritual protection, and whether there's a "liminal space" where souls can still cry out to God before crossing into eternity.Burke shares stories that don't make it into most Christian discussions: the Muslim imam who saw Jesus with holes in his wrists and woke up at his own burial, the Jewish woman who sat on God's lap while Jesus stood nearby (but they were somehow "one"), the Hindu engineer who saw a lake of fire despite never reading the Bible, and the atheist professor dragged into darkness by deceptive beings claiming to be hospital staff.These aren't ghost stories or hallucinations—many occurred during documented clinical death with flat EEGs and no heartbeat for extended periods. Burke explains the consistent patterns he's discovered: the tunnel as protection, the life review, the welcoming committee of angels, and the terrifying reality that some people initially head toward places of torment before being rescued. We discuss AI deception, astral projection, why time works differently on "the other side," and whether these experiences prove the Bible's descriptions of the afterlife are more literal than we thought.

Founder of Hobby Lobby, David Green, released a new book called The Legacy Life: Leading Your Family to Make a Difference for Eternity, that offers a Biblical framework for building multigenerational impact. In this conversation, hosts, Joey Svendsen and Jack Hoey, Jr. talk with David and co-author, Bill High, about the principles shared in their book, as well as a little about the Hobby Lobby story. From humble beginnings, David set out to be people-oriented in all of his business practices, including being generous with Hobby Lobby's earnings—giving half to charities and outreaches. David and Bill share what life truly is about—spoiler alert, it's not money.  The Legacy Life presents a paradigm-shifting perspective on living with eternal significance. Rather than accepting the conventional work until retirement approach, Green and High call readers to embrace a biblical, generational mindset that creates lasting impact across multiple generations. At top of episode, the host crew discuss their current heart postures toward money and share some disagreement about the vegetable, corn. David Green: Founder/CEO of Hobby Lobby employing 50,000 people at 1,000 stores in 48 states and grosses nearly $8 billion a year. Author of Leadership Not by the Book and The Leader's Devotional, Green received the World Changer and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. David, his wife, Barbara, and their children, grandchildren, and great-grands all live in Oklahoma City. Bill High: CEO of Legacy Stone, a ministry dedicated to helping families thrive today and for generations to come. Bill also founded one of the largest charitable foundations in the country where they facilitated more than $6 billion in gifts. He has consulted with families on a global basis on the subject of family legacy. He is the author and coauthor of several books, including Leadership Not by the Book.

What should time mean to us?Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes is a philosopher of mind who specialises in the thought of Alfred North Whitehead, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Benedict de Spinoza, and in fields pertaining to panpsychism and altered states of mind. In this talk, he combines insights from psychedelic experiences with an intriguing view put forward by Spinoza: that the mind can enter a rare state of eternity, not as a spirit enduring beyond the corpse, but as a mind collapsing into the eternal.Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week on the podcast I discuss the central lore behind Rangers as presented in the world of Eora. The BIG thing that makes a Ranger a Ranger here is the "soul-bonded animal companion". So, after researching the lore in Pillars II (Deadfire), I started wondering...can you *faithfully* play as a Ranger in Avowed, where you don't get an animal companion? Well, it turns out...there is a way.worldofeora@gmail.com@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

David Green and Bill High share how faith, family, and intentional living can shape a lasting legacy. They reveal how doing what's right—over what's profitable—has guided their business and personal lives, and how trials became defining moments of trust in God. From humble beginnings to generational impact, this conversation reminds us that legacy isn't about wealth, but about the eternal difference we make in others' lives. Listen in for timeless wisdom on faith, purpose, and leaving a legacy that lasts forever.

Spiritual freedom is not freedom for yourself, but freedom from yourself.  As you gradually cease to strive to get what you want and avoid what you don't want, life transforms into a harmonious unfolding of the Tao, where peace and joy arise naturally from being in alignment with reality. As you cease to be bound by the personal, —you come to realize the true beauty of who you really are. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

In Revelation 21, the apostle John described a vision in which he saw "a new heaven and a new earth"," as well as "the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God" (verses 1-2). John's vision seems to contradict popular conceptions of Heaven as a place in the clouds. In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K.

This week, we were challenged to see generosity not as an obligation, but as the heartbeat of God's greatest work—both globally and here at Northeast. We were reminded through Jesus' parable in Luke 12 and the story of the YouVersion Bible app, that true wealth is not measured by what we store up, but by the richness of our relationship with God and our willingness to invest in His Kingdom. For nearly 50 years, Northeast has seen God move through ordinary people who gave sacrificially, building a community where God's grace is free and lives are transformed. Now, we're stepping into the next 10 years with bold faith—planting new churches, expanding outreach, and creating spaces to serve a growing community. The challenge is big, but God's call is clear: give, grow, and go. Like Bartimaeus, let's cry out, “Lord, don't pass me by!” Let's be the generation that invests in eternity, trusting God to multiply our efforts for the sake of future generations.

What really happens after life? Do we fade into nothing—or step into something far more real? In today's message we discover the eternal perspective on faith and works as we explore how salvation is God's gift of grace, yet our faithful service and obedience earn lasting rewards in heaven—reminding us to live each moment with eternity in mind.

❓ Guiding Question: How does a man make wise, lasting decisions in the chaos of life—and what role does his unique wiring play in creating a meaningful legacy?

Life is fragile and fleeting—Scripture reminds us time and again that our days on earth are short, like a breath or a passing shadow. Yet, as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, in a world that measures meaning by years and accomplishments, we often forget just how temporary life really is. Lynette Kittle reflects on the sobering reality that every breath is a gift, urging us to live intentionally for eternity rather than the moment. When tragedy strikes or we’re reminded of death’s suddenness, it can shake our sense of security. But God never meant for these reminders to fill us with fear; instead, they call us back to perspective. James 4:14 tells us that our lives are “a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes,” not to diminish our worth but to reorient our focus toward what truly matters—living each day to glorify Him. Because of Christ, we do not have to fear death. Jesus tasted death for us (Hebrews 2:9) so that we can move from life to eternal life in His presence. Earth is not our permanent home. We are citizens of Heaven, created for something far greater than the temporary world we see. As believers, we can live with both urgency and peace—urgency to love, serve, and live for God today, and peace knowing our forever home is secure with Him. Let every breath be a reminder of His grace and an opportunity to glorify His name. Today's Bible Reading: "They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow." – Psalm 144:4 Key Takeaways Life is fleeting, but its brevity invites us to live with eternal purpose. God doesn’t want us to fear death—Christ has already conquered it. Our true home is in Heaven, where we will dwell with God forever. Each day is a sacred gift to glorify God and point others to His hope. Let’s Pray Together Dear Father, thank You for the sacred gift of life. Help me to remember how short and precious it is—not to fear its brevity but to live each day with eternity in mind. Thank You for the promise of eternal life through Jesus and for preparing a place for me in Your presence. May my life bring glory to You in every breath I take. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

What does it mean to speak of eternity? Is eternity best understood as infinite time, stretching endlessly forward and backward, or as something wholly outside of time—a changeless, timeless "eternal now"? In this episode, the hosts wrestle with these competing conceptions, drawing on philosophy, theology, and personal experience to ask whether eternity is a thinkable concept or a regulative ideal forever beyond our grasp.The discussion ranges from Aristotle's view of time as the measure of motion to medieval analogies of rivers and "standing nows," from Aquinas's theology of resurrected bodies to Nietzsche's dark thought of the eternal return. The hosts consider whether eternity should be tied to perfection, necessity, or redemption, and explore whether such ideas have anything to offer our day-to-day human lives.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/eternity---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes when Season 14 begins in September!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Podcast on Patreon here!

In the last several months, we have experienced an immense amount of loss. In the midst of that loss, it is very easy to be distracted by the things that we no longer have. Yet God wants to use that loss as a focusing tool to draw our attention to what we actually do have. He takes what we often perceive as little but what is actually abundant and uses it to bring even greater fruitfulness and blessing. Today on Countdown 2 Eternity we are going to talk about that, so don't miss out on this important Bible study. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1479/29

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” - 2 Timothy 1:7When it comes to investing, wisdom means keeping emotions in check. Fear, greed, overconfidence, and regret can all derail sound decisions. Dr. Art Rainer joins us today to share four ways emotions ruin smart investing—and how you can avoid those traps.Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is a regular contributor here at Faith & Finance and the author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose.Don't Let Emotions Derail Your InvestmentsWhen it comes to investing, emotions can be your worst enemy. Allowing emotions to guide your investment decisions will most likely lead you to buy high and sell low. That's the opposite of building a solid retirement fund.So how can investors avoid the emotional traps that derail wise investing? Here are four common ways emotions can ruin sound investment strategies.1. Focusing on the Present Instead of the FutureThe stock market fluctuates daily, sometimes even hourly. Many investors get caught in the drama of short-term swings. But we must remind ourselves that we're not investing for today, we're investing for the future.Keeping your eyes fixed on long-term goals helps put temporary volatility in perspective. The market may dip, but over time, patience and consistency are what build wealth.2. Letting Fear Take ControlFear often shows up during a market downturn. In 2008, as markets plummeted, many investors panicked and withdrew their money. Later, most admitted that the decision was a mistake.In fact, steady contributions during down markets actually allow for the purchase of more shares at lower prices—a benefit to long-term investors. This is a process called “dollar-cost averaging”.  Dollar-cost averaging is an investing strategy where you contribute a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of market conditions. Over time, this helps reduce the impact of market volatility by buying more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high.Fear may feel protective, but it usually leads to missed opportunities.3. Becoming Overconfident in a Rising MarketJust as fear hurts during downturns, overconfidence can be just as dangerous when markets rise. We saw this during the dot-com bubble in 2000 and again in 2020.As stock prices climb, inexperienced investors often rush in, assuming the market is “easy money.” They may chase riskier investments without understanding the dangers, setting themselves up for painful losses when the bubble bursts.4. Dwelling on RegretRegret over past decisions is natural, but it can tempt us to overcorrect. For example, selling too soon because of a bad memory from the last downturn—or holding too long trying to “make up” for past mistakes.Instead of being trapped by regret, let past experiences guide wiser choices without driving reactionary ones.The Bible tells us that saving is wise, but it also cautions against letting fear or greed rule our hearts. Wise investing requires patience, discipline, and trust in God's provision—not reactionary emotions.Get Help From a Certified Christian Financial CounselorFor those struggling with debt, budgeting, or saving for the future, Dr. Rainer recommends connecting with a Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC).
