  In this episode of our Goddess series, Kathleen Joan and I explore Mary Magdalene, the woman behind the stories, her place in early Christianity, and why her presence still matters so deeply today.    Mary Magdalene was a real woman who walked the earth. She was a devoted follower and the wife of Jesus, a spiritual leader in her own right, and a powerful presence in the resurrection story. And yet, over the centuries, her role was diminished, rewritten, and in many ways pushed to the edges.    So Kathleen and I ask a different question.    What happens when we bring Mary Magdalene back into the center of the story?    We explore the woman she was, the wisdom she carried, and how she has become such a powerful expression of the Divine Feminine for women who are hungry for a deeper, fuller understanding of the sacred.    My co-host for this series is Kathleen Joan, a priestess of Brigid devoted to the resurrection of the Divine Feminine in today's world, especially for women with Christian ancestry. Kathleen spent more than 15 years in ministry and holds a dual Master's degree in theology and ministry. Today, she brings that deep understanding of the Christian tradition into her work helping women reclaim the wild, sacred Feminine through Goddess teachings, channeling, energy healing, circles, and retreats.    Like Mary Magdalene, the Feminine has been erased, softened, and minimized in so many of our sacred stories.    But she was never truly gone. This conversation is an invitation to remember her, reclaim what was pushed aside, and make room again for the sacred Feminine wisdom that has been there all along.      Episode Highlights    00:00 — Introducing Mary Magdalene Knowing Mary Magdalene from three perspectives: the stories told about her, the historical person who lived, and the spiritual presence many people continue to connect with today.  02:27 — The Apostle to the Apostles Mary Magdalene is consistently named as the first witness to Jesus' resurrection. Her role as the person who carried that news forward gives her a foundational place in the Christian story.  06:28 — How Official Religious Narratives Were Shaped The episode examines how religious authorities established official teachings centuries after Jesus' death. Many writings associated with Mary and other women were excluded, hidden, destroyed, or lost, leaving gaps in the historical record.  08:39 — The First Message of Resurrection The central Christian message of life continuing after death was first brought to the community by Mary Magdalene. Her testimony was initially dismissed, revealing how women's spiritual authority was questioned even when they carried the core message of the faith.  11:48 — Why Her Teachings Were Threatening The idea that Jesus would teach a woman profound spiritual truths challenged emerging patriarchal leadership structures. Mary's experience was questioned because it did not fit the belief that divine knowledge should be controlled by male authorities.  12:43 — Connecting with the Divine Through the Heart Mary's message emphasizes that people can access the divine through their own hearts. Spiritual connection does not necessarily require an external institution to define or authorize the experience.  18:01 — Reclaiming the Feminine Story Mary's message focuses on correcting the narrative around her and restoring the feminine presence in sacred traditions.   20:23 — Seeing the Feminine in the Divine The divine is described as far more expansive than a solely male figure.   23:19 — Passion as Spiritual Power Passion, devotion, and deep feeling are described as spiritual powers that connect people with their loved ones, their souls, and the divine.  24:23 — The Divine Power of Devotion Love is framed as a force that lives within the body, heart, and whole human experience. Devotion can help keep wisdom and connection alive even through loss and separation.     Mentioned  Wild Wisdom Goddess Temple is Kathleen's online circle where Christian-rooted women reclaim their whole selves as sacred through the Divine Feminine. This 13-moon journey will help you return to honoring the Sacred She within as you meet Her in Her many names & forms, supported by a loving circle of sisterhood.  The Wealthy Witch Way is Julie's membership.

May 12th, 2026:  The First Message of Fatima;  The Three Parts of Fatima;  Called to Cooperate with Mary

In the first public message since their capture by U.S. military forces in January, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife said in a social media post that it's necessary to continue consolidating peace, national unity, reconciliation, forgiveness and reunification.

Iranian state television has broadcast a message in the name of the newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. The message was read by an announcer and gave no clue as to the state of the leader's health. Some reports say he was injured on the first day of US and Israeli attacks. In the message, he said Iran would avenge the blood of its martyrs, and continue to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which one fifth of the world's oil passes. We hear from people in Iran, many of whom say they are now living in constant fear. We also report from the US, where public approval for the war with Iran is the lowest at the start of any conflict since the Second World War, with around 41% agreeing with the US decision to attack Iran. In other news, a court in Russia has given life sentences to four men convicted of carrying out one of the worst terrorist attacks of recent years - the mass shooting at a concert hall outside Moscow. Also: an auction of a remarkable collection of legendary guitars - including Kurt Cobain's trademark 1969 Lake Placid blue Fender Mustang and other famous musical instruments, literary artefacts and sporting and film memorabilia - which belonged to the late billionaire American businessman, Jim Irsay.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: Iran's new supreme leader breaks his silence. Mojtaba Khamenei issues his first message since taking power after the death of his father, declaring the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and warning that Iran will continue targeting U.S. military bases across the region. The war with Iran may be expanding beyond the battlefield. A major U.S. medical technology company is hit by a suspected Iranian cyberattack that disables thousands of employee phones and laptops, raising concerns that Tehran may be opening a new digital front in the conflict.

Key Bible Verse: "He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions,  He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. " Isaiah 53: 3-5

Key Bible Verse: "By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.” John 13: 35

Key Bible Verses: "Jesus, knowing the Father had handed all things over to Him, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper and laid His outer garments aside; He took a towel and tied it around Himself Then He poured water into the basin and began washing the disciples' feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself." John 13:3-5

In the first two messages of this New Year series, I challenged you to examine and refocus your priorities on God (First Love) and your own life (First Watch). This week we examine the first "external" priority Jesus demonstrated and then gave (commanded) His disciples.

When we don't know what to do, worship becomes a choice to trust rather than control. This message invites us to put worship in front of the battle and fix our eyes on a God who has already fought for us.⛪️ To invest in the ministry of My Church Winnipeg and invest into the lives of others through giving click here: https://mychurchwinnipeg.ca/give

This message turns the lens on our own lives to allow the Holy Spirit to shine on those areas out of synch with how Jesus taught His disciples to live.

Paprika! This week, Emily and V head back to 2021 -- but mostly 2022, carte blanche -- to look at the phenomenon of Dracula Daily and its explosion of popularity on Tumblr. We also head to 1992 to look at the worst movie of all time, Bram Stoker's Dracula, starring extremely beautiful people who were all in extremely different movies all at once. And then we traipse to 1897 to look at the original novel of Dracula and its extremely weird creation by a very strange l'il guy, Bram Stoker. Plus, bats! Bats everywhere! Also, Jack the Ripper! Also, you may note that this is actually a date from last week (in fandom history). And um. So is... so is the next episode. V messed up the spreadsheet a little bit and we didn't notice until we'd recorded three episodes in a row that happened on either May 3 or May 4. ...It won't happen again, probably.

Marni welcomes the head of Global Communications at OkCupid, Michael Kaye to the Life Check Yourself Studio. OkCupid is one of the world's largest dating apps. Previously, Michael served as a Product Communications Manager at LinkedIn and as a Sr. Global Communications Manager with OkCupid. He is an industry award winner who has been featured on ABC NEWS, Business Insider, Bustle, Cosmo, NYT, and more. He shares insider tips and best practices to help you find someone special.   Takeaways from this episode:   Insider tips for making the algorithm find the right match How much time to spend dating online Who should message first How to get offline and into each other's arms Big dating profile turn-offs   How Michael Became a Connection Guru [2:21]   In college, Michael didn't know how to find other men in his area. He found the safest and most discreet way was through dating apps. The great news is that he is still dating the person he met online eight and a half years later. One day, he received a DM from someone at OkCupid to see if he was interested in interviewing for a position. He accepted and the rest is history. He says he loves working for a company that helps people find love all over the globe.   Dating apps work because people aren't attending gatherings like they used to.   Marni says the pandemic helped make online dating mainstream and shifted people's perception about trying to find someone online. Michael adds that the pandemic trends were that people wanted a stronger emotional connection before a physical connection. Another trend was that women started to take control of their dating lives. They were sending more first messages than ever before and it paid off for them.   Women Should Send the First Message [10:18]   Michael's advice is to really take some time into drafting the first message to someone with a profile you find intriguing. He shares the data on how to make your first message the best. He says if you don't have a positive outlook, then you shouldn't reach out. Take some time for yourself because what you put into online dating is what you get out of it. If you don't put the time in, you won't get quality matches, you won't find that special someone.   Dating is a part-time job.   Insider Secret Tips: There is a way to trick the system but you have to spend the time doing it. Go online for a few minutes every day or every other day. If not, you may be missing connections. Change something about your profile every few weeks. Login every Sunday as it is the busiest day of the week.   Learn to work the algorithm and educate it about who you are interested in.   Data shows that more than 9 in 10 people on OK Cupid have average or higher than average self-confidence. It's important to be confident in who you are when dating. If not those insecurities will filter into any relationship. It creates an unhealthy relationship if you don't.   How to Move Things Offline [19:58]   Michael says that it is easy to get frustrated with online dating because so many first messages are just Hey or What's Up. He says to move the conversation from the app to an in-person meeting, is to not be shy and say something like … this app is killing my battery, here is my number, this moves the conversation from the app to a phone call, e-mail, or even face-to-face.   30% of OkCupid daters want to move the conversation off the app asap.   Biggest Red Flags in Online Dating:   53% of daters on OkCupid say that being controversial or saying offensive things is a red flag. 27% of daters say mentioning an ex on first dates is a red flag, 20% of daters don't like it when the other person gets too drunk on a first date.   The biggest turn-off for people on an online dating app is people who put ---swipe left if - on their profile. Micheal advises that instead of focusing on deal breakers, highlight the dealmakers.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Learn How To Attract Your Perfect Equal… Watch Our Latest Training Here!

On this day in 1974, scientists at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico sent the first message intended for alien lifeforms. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meeting a new dating partner can be quite the roller coaster ride of emotions! You get the thrill of the first connection, the anticipation of the first date, and (if all goes well) the excitement of the “Wow, I'm actually in a relationship” stage. But you also might worry about whether or not you and your partner are on the same page or if the relationship is truly going anywhere. So how do you stay grounded and calm throughout this process? Today, I'm kicking off a three-part series to hopefully help you remain free from fear and anxiety as much as humanly possible when it comes to dating someone new. 2:34​ - The #1 mistake I see clients make during the early stages of dating 4:15 - Getting a better understanding of the concepts of rejection and fear 9:13 - How fear influences what you do (or don't) in your love life 14:49 - Fear-based actions vs. intuitive-based actions 19:21 - What intuitive-based decisions allow you to do about rejection 22:43 - A preview of part two of this series and my upcoming workshop   I hope you enjoyed this episode!
