Last week, we concluded the Overflow series with a message about the Holy Spirit and the topic of the Trinity. With people of so many different upbringings and theological backgrounds attending Covenant Life, there are lot of teachings and assumptions floating around — and not all of them are true. It may seem odd, but in order to believe the Bible, there are quite a few things we have to unlearn. This week, we’re starting a brand-new series about the Holy Spirit called Holy Water. Together, we’re going to slow down and look at the person of the Holy Spirit in scripture. The goal is to demystify the Holy Spirit and discover the God who has been here the whole time, answering questions we might have been too afraid or ashamed to ask. Why? Because you can’t have Jesus and reject the Holy Spirit.

Using The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz as our starting point, we explore how wisdom from outside the Germanic world can illuminate, reinforce, or even challenge our own worldview.From there, we widen the lens.We discuss syncretism; both the kind our ancestors practiced and the kind we engage in today along with finfara, cultural exchange, and the flow of ideas across tribes, nations, and spiritual traditions. How do we integrate outside concepts responsibly? Where do we draw healthy boundaries? And what frameworks, philosophies, and practices can help us deepen our connection to our gods, ancestors, and land spirits?This episode is all about embracing the complexity of being a modern Heathen in a global world, without losing the roots that make our tradition unique.Join us for a conversation full of insight, challenge, humor, and honest exploration as we walk the wider web that connects past and present, culture and culture, and each of us to our own lived practice.

What do fire rituals, the dead returning home, and Odin riding through the night sky have to do with heathen Yule? Do the old ways find their way into our modern day celebrations?In this special midwinter episode, archaeologist and professor Anders Kaliff returns to explore the ancient beliefs that shaped the holiday season long before Christianity arrived in Scandinavia. We talk about the myth of Odin's Hunt, the symbolism of Yule fires, and why midwinter was such a powerful and spiritual time for people in the Viking Age — and long before that.This episode also dives into Kaliff's latest book Odens jakt, and the deeper Indo-European roots behind ritual landscapes, ancestor traditions, and the seasonal rhythms that still echo through Christmas today.Subscribe to stay updated!
