Podcasts about Holy Ground

Movies are modern-day parables. They tell the stories of love, sacrifice, betrayal, redemption. And if we're paying attention—if we listen with theological ears—we can hear the whisper of the gospel in places we least expect it.

This summer we plan to build off our previous "Holy Ground" episode and share a collection of Spirit Stories. These are personal interactions with the sacred that have led to a shift in our outlook and journey. On this episode, Jake Morrill join us to share his encounter from an experience this past fall. We hope that sharing these stories bring to mind moments you have had or guide us to tuning our lives to see more clearly the intersection between the seemingly ordinary and the unexplainable mysteries. If you have an encounter you'd like to share please reach out to us at hello@morethanonewaypod.com.Send us a textContact Us: Email | Instagram | Facebook | Web Presented by: The Center for Spiritual PracticeCreative Team: Nathan Tipton, Christibeth Paul, Thom Rasnick, Kerry Ruff, Paul Ruff, Shay Boswell, and Whitney RossOriginal Music composed by: Paul Ruff

Sir Isaac Newton once said, "In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.” And Newton's point is this: you don't need a telescope to see God. Sometimes all it takes is the willingness to pay attention. God has stitched His creativity not just into galaxies—but into us. Into your thumb. Into your nervous system. Into your breath.That means Holy Ground isn't just “out there”—it's right here. On your own hands.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth AcademyThe Rorschach God

#362 In this episode, Guy welcomed back Suraj Holzwarth White Eagle Medicine Woman. They delved into a deep and heartfelt discussion about the current state of the world, a collective awakening, and the collapse of old illusions. Suraj shared insights from her meditative experiences in front of Hawaiian volcanoes and discussed the significant shift of humanity towards a new understanding of self and the divine. They also talked about the Crystal Skull Method (CSM), developed over seven years, which integrates sacred geometry, ancient healing practices, and modern science to activate the pineal gland and promote healing. Suraj explained how CSM sessions can be done in-person or remotely and shared remarkable case studies demonstrating its effectiveness. The podcast underscores the importance of grounding to liquid fire, the role of forgiveness, and the journey of moving from human doing into human being. About Suraj: White Eagle Medicine Woman (Suraj Holzwarth) adventurous life began early, when at the age of 19 she moved to Alaska and became the youngest woman to climb Denali, North America's highest peak.

We often think of "holy ground" as a rare, sacred location—somewhere special, set apart, drenched in reverence. But what if holy ground isn't about the place itself… what if it's about Presence?When Moses encountered the burning bush, God told him, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground” (Exodus 3:5). But here's the catch: it wasn't a temple. It wasn't a tabernacle. It was the middle of the desert—ordinary dirt transformed by the presence of God.

“I don't make songs for free, I make 'em for freedom. Don't believe in kings, believe in the Kingdom.”— Chance the RapperChance isn't talking about monetary cost — he's talking about purpose. His art isn't for applause, or even payment, but for something deeper: liberation. This is the sound of someone who recognizes that the gifts we've been given — whether it's music, writing, or leadership — aren't just meant to entertain; they're meant to liberate.www.HesterMinistries.orgwww.PresentTruthAcademy.orgwww.HesterBook.com

Send us a textImagine walking into a grocery store and seeing your name prominently displayed on a product lining the shelves. For most of us, that would be a remarkable moment. For the clients at St. John of God Community Services, it's a powerful affirmation of their value and contribution to society.Luke Barnes, Director of Marketing Communications and Entrepreneurial Programs for St, John of God Community Services, takes us behind the scenes of Holy Grounds Coffee, a social enterprise creating meaningful employment for adults with special needs. What began as a solution to inconsistent contract work has blossomed into a purpose-driven business where clients participate in every step of coffee production – from roasting beans to packaging the final product.The genius of Holy Grounds lies in its multilayered impact. Each coffee order creates multiple job opportunities, while every bag proudly displays the signatures of the clients who helped create it. "When they can walk into a store and see their name on a bag of coffee on the shelf – that's the special stuff," Barnes explains with palpable enthusiasm.This initiative embodies the 600-year-old philosophy of their namesake saint: "Do good for yourself by doing good for others." The organization doesn't just create jobs; they've thoughtfully constructed a supply chain of kindness. They source beans exclusively from ethical, often women-owned farms, ensuring their positive impact extends globally while creating dignified opportunities locally.Beyond coffee, St. John of God Community Services addresses community needs through innovative solutions like their mobile food pantry – a converted school bus bringing fresh produce and essential supplies directly to vulnerable populations. Rather than a typical handout model, they've designed a dignified shopping experience that preserves clients' agency and self-respect.What resonates most throughout our conversation is the organization's deep commitment to seeing people with special needs as whole individuals with capabilities to contribute, not just needs to be met. As Barnes poignantly reminds us, "Everybody can do a little bit of good every single day... those small things really add up."Ready to make a difference with your morning brew?

Send us a textHave you ever wondered where God is in the ordinary moments of your day? We explore that very question in this heart-level conversation about how every moment—yes, even the mundane ones—can become a sacred encounter. Together, we reflect on stories like the woman who touched Jesus' robe and the thief on the cross to reveal how God's presence often meets us not in grand events but in the smallest, most unexpected places. We talk about how every step can be a “thin place,” where heaven brushes earth, and how God can transform even a single second into a life-changing moment.We also dive into the difference between "Chronos" time—our packed, scheduled lives—and "Kairos" time, those divine appointments where God breaks through. Through gentle practices like breath prayers, sacred space scans, and pausing before reacting, we offer ways to recognize God's presence in your day. This episode is for anyone feeling rushed, scattered, or spiritually distant. You don't have to wait for perfect circumstances to experience God. Right here, right now—this very moment—you're already standing on holy ground.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Faith shaped America's foundation in ways many have forgotten. Dive deep into the writings of Patrick Henry, who left his family only "the religion of Christ" as inheritance, and Andrew Jackson, who comforted the grieving by pointing them to "our dear Savior." These weren't merely religious men—they were leaders whose Christian worldview fundamentally shaped their vision for our nation.Why would such devoutly Christian founders create a country intended to separate God from government? They wouldn't—and didn't. While they wisely separated church from state to prevent denominational control, they never intended to remove God, prayer, or biblical principles from public life. This distinction has been deliberately blurred in our modern understanding.The episode contrasts our comfortable modern Christianity with the brutal martyrdoms detailed in Fox's Book of Martyrs. Under Emperor Valerian's persecution, Christians faced being burned alive, devoured by tigers, and tortured horrifically—yet many voluntarily identified themselves as believers, knowing the consequences. When was the last time our faith cost us anything significant?I examine how modern America has inverted the founding principles, replacing "taxation without representation" with what might be called "representation without taxation"—where those who contribute little or nothing financially have equal say in how tax dollars are spent. This fundamental shift undermines the constitutional balance our founders established.The Matthew 20 reading reminds us that Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve." How often do we embody this principle? Do our daily priorities reveal genuine Christian commitment or comfortable cultural Christianity?What would you do if being Christian meant risking everything? Our brothers and sisters in Syria, Nigeria, China, and North Korea face this reality daily. Their courage should challenge us to examine whether our faith is merely convenient or truly convictional.Subscribe to continue exploring the intersection of faith, history, and American identity as we seek to understand how our founding principles can guide us through today's challenges.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What about a time when you felt the presence of another so strongly, as if they were physically with you? On this episode of More Than Way we share and explore stories of the Spirit, describing not only the moment but also the impact and reflection on the experience.

Welcome to Meizon Church. This is Episode #211“The Wounds We Walk With - Grief is Holy Ground"Speaker: Miranda Westwww.meizonchurch.com

God is mystery. Holy, other, ungraspable. And as Barry Taylor suggests, we often try to give shape to that mystery. We wrap it in theology. In doctrines. In denominations. In our best guesses and worst fears.And to be fair—sometimes that's necessary. We're wired for meaning. We're storytellers. But the problem isn't that we shape our understanding of God—it's how and why we do it.Do we shape God to reveal Him?Or do we shape Him to control Him?www.HesterMinistries.orgwww.PresentTruthAcademy.orgThe Rorschach God

1 Corinthians 6 tells us that we are a temple of the Holy Spirit, but sometimes we don't realize how important it is for us to cultivate righteousness in our bodies, souls, and spirits. In this season of laying everything on the altar before the Lord, He is asking us to be mindful of what we're allowing in our thoughts and actions. In this message, we're going to explore the Holy ground that is our lives, and the role we play in defending that sacred space and being set apart for the Lord. Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

In this episode, we sit down with Moria Rooney, the heart behind Mother of Wilde. Moria shares the deeply personal story of losing her son, Noah, who was stillborn at 35 weeks—and how God met her in that place of heartbreak with a calling to create beauty from ashes.What began as simple remembrance prints for grieving moms has grown into a powerful ministry that holds space for women walking through loss and gently points them to the hope of Jesus. Moria's story is tender, raw, and full of God's redemptive love.She also shares about Holy Ground, a new retreat she's launching that invites moms into a deeper place of healing, rest, and restoration. Through her ministry, Moria reminds us that while loss shapes us, it doesn't define us—and that our truest identity is found in being daughters of the King.This conversation feels sacred, and we pray it meets you with comfort, hope, and the reminder that even in the midst of grief, God is near.Episode Highlights: Meet Moria.What Holy ground is.Reclaiming what the enemy has stolen.Having a Kingdom Mindset.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Purpose Beyond Motherhood and Moria Rooney:Twelve 12 Ministries WebsiteIG Handle: @twelve12ministriesFacebook: @twelve12ministriesEmail: info@twelve12ministries.org Visit the Twelve 12 Ministries ShopVisit Mother of WildeLearn more about Holy Ground RetreatsThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Last Sunday we started a new series, Sacred Earth: Reconnecting with the wisdom of nature and our place within it. Brad's first talk was Holy Ground, which will we will build on as the series progresses. This week the topic is Holy Smokes – The Plants that Heal Us.

Our lives have become so busy and even about the good things, we can be so busy, we miss God speaking to us at these liminal moments where God is trying to say something different than what we want to hear. It might be saying something challenging that we do not want to hear. It is those moments when we are called to pause like Moses and approach it and take courage to lean in and to move closer to this space. (Read more…)Here is my homily for the third Sunday of Lent.

To the mystic, every moment is sacred—and every step is taken on holy ground. Mirabai Starr, the celebrated author, religious scholar, and "translator of the mystics," has devoted herself to sharing the insights of beloved figures including Teresa of Avila, Saint John of the Cross, Hildegard of Bingen, and others. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Mirabai Starr about her new book, Ordinary Mysticism, and how we can each open ourselves to the direct experience of divine union—and become agents of change for our troubled world.  Listen now to this inspiring discussion of: spiritual transmission and communicating mystical realization to others; the power of ritual; setting yourself up for "an encounter with the beloved"; the willingness not to know; collaborating with your muses; Natalie Goldberg's writing practice methodology; a commitment to beauty; mystical seeing; four gateways to the sacred; freeing yourself from the brain's default mode network; how meditation expands your capacity for awe; tending the seeds of wisdom; interspirituality; avoiding cultural appropriation; grief as a gateway to the sacred, and letting the darkness have its way; the dark night of the soul; the paradox of "surrendering and showing up"; and more.

“Find your Elizabeth. Find the person who sees the gifts in you and names them. That's really significant.”  — Jerusha Matsen Neal Author and professor Jerusha Matsen Neal joins us on the podcast to discuss the importance of place as we consider the spiritual implications of climate change around the world. In our world today, the effects of climate change have become more and more inescapable. But how can our own sense of place enlarge our understanding of the intricate links between us and those across the earth? Author and professor Jerusha Matsen Neal joins us on the podcast to explore a theology of place and the ways we can look at the presence of climate catastrophe with clear eyes and a faithful response. In her book Holy Ground: Climate Change, Preaching, and the Apocalypse of Place, Jerusha helps us learn from the sermons of displaced Indigenous communities in the South Pacific, exploring the effects of colonialism and inviting us into a space of learning and reflection. Jerusha and I also discuss her convictions on the power of preaching and the ways we can move forward to better the world today. In addition, Jerusha wanted listeners of this podcast who are interested in purchasing her book to know that you can get a 20% discount if you buy the book from Baylor University Press and use the promo code: 17PROMO. You can find a link to the book and the discount code in the show notes.
