Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Shamanic Teachings of the Condor and The Hidden Power in Your DNA Guests, Martha Travers & Judy Wilkins Smith Ancient Wisdom, Ancestral DNA, and the Search for the Power Within A Wide-Ranging Journey Into Mystery, Health, and Human Potential In this episode of Popp Talk, host Mary Jane Popp introduces a broad conversation about the future, artificial intelligence, health, vitamins, minerals, longevity, and the hidden power inside human DNA. Before moving into those later subjects, she begins with her fascination for Native American and Indigenous teachings, asking whether ancient traditions contain lessons people still need today. The episode features two main guests: Martha Travers, discussing Andean mystical traditions and shamanic teachings, and Judy Wilkins Smith, discussing genealogy, ancestral patterns, and the power hidden in DNA. Martha Travers Opens the Door to the Mystical Andes Mary Jane first welcomes Martha Winona Travers, author of Shamanic Teachings of the Condor: Encounters with the Mystical Traditions of the Andes. Martha explains that the word “mystical” can mean different things depending on a person's experience, but for her it describes moving beyond the ordinary ego-based self into communion with the great creative forces of life. She connects mystical experience with union, comparing it to the meaning of yoga, and describes it as a return to awareness of the larger cosmic path that human beings often forget. The Eagle, the Condor, and the Reunion of Mind and Heart Martha introduces the Andean teaching of the Eagle and the Condor, explaining that the eagle represents intellect, reason, and the mind, while the condor represents intuition, heart, and the ability to sense realities beyond the five senses. She says her teacher, Taita Alberto Taxo, taught that both are necessary and that humanity is moving toward a time when the eagle and condor fly together in the same sky. Mary Jane challenges the idea by pointing to division, hatred, war, and conflict in the modern world, while Martha responds that deeper human life still contains a desire to care for one another and seek common ground. Nature as Teacher, Healer, and Shared Human Source Mary Jane presses Martha on whether ancient nature-based ways can really apply to a world shaped by computers, artificial intelligence, cities, and technology. Martha says the goal is not to go backward or force everyone into agriculture, but to reconnect each individual with the living sources of physical life: earth, water, fire, air, food, sunlight, and breath. She explains that the Andean teachings help people in any setting, rural or urban, restore harmony by reconnecting with nature and the heart. For Martha, technology can be used wisely only when people also understand whether their choices promote health, balance, and well-being. A Spirited Debate About Climate, Cities, and Going Forward The exchange becomes more pointed as Mary Jane argues that nature has been damaged by pollution, depleted land, bad air, and climate change. Martha responds that the earth, water, and land have their own healing power when given the opportunity, and that human beings are still in the middle of a larger transformation. Mary Jane questions whether people can truly come together when they live in such different realities, such as a rural landscape versus a high-rise city apartment. Martha answers that connection begins through sharing, conversation, children, common ground, and individual inner change rather than a forced return to the past. Martha's Path Through Shamanism, Community, and Andean Practice Mary Jane asks how Martha's long study with Indigenous Kichwa people in the Andes changed her. Martha explains that before that journey, she was already a mother living in a rural setting, homeschooling her children, growing food, and becoming interested in shamanism. After meeting Taita Alberto Taxo through a gathering brought to Michigan by John Perkins of Dream Change, she traveled to Ecuador and began learning with his family and community. Martha says the experience did not change her into something entirely different so much as affirm and deepen a path she was already walking, bringing her solitary mystical experiences into a living community of joyful practice. Judy Wilkins Smith and the Superhero Hidden in the Family System The second featured conversation begins when Mary Jane welcomes Judy Wilkins Smith, a systemic work and constellations expert, Fortune 500 executive coach, and author of The Hidden Power in Your DNA. Judy says people often sense that there is a larger version of themselves waiting to be expressed, much like the hero figures they admire in comics, fantasy, and popular culture. She explains that a person's “superhero” power may not be a cape or dramatic ability, but qualities such as kindness, happiness, persistence, generosity, or the part of them that naturally opens doors when amplified and used with purpose. Dreams, Goals, Disney, and the Magic of Persistence Judy shares her own example of wanting to own Disney timeshare because Disney and magic had mattered to her since childhood. She says she achieved that goal through persistence, small savings, kindness, and staying awake to opportunity. Mary Jane connects this to the old lyric from South Pacific: “You've got to have a dream.” Judy agrees that dreams and goals matter because they move people beyond their current circumstances. She says people should not necessarily want less, because wanting more can help humanity evolve, especially when people share what they create with those they love. Genealogy Beyond the Family Tree Mary Jane challenges Judy's emphasis on genealogy, saying she personally does not care much about the past and wants to move forward. Judy responds that looking backward briefly can be wise because ancestral patterns echo into the present. She describes several levels of genealogy, beginning with the family tree and moving into deeper awareness of what happened in ancestral countries, cultures, and family systems. Using Mary Jane's Romanian ancestry as an example, Judy explains that a history of conquest, survival, and repeated hardship may leave emotional patterns that descendants either repeat unconsciously or transform consciously. Emotional DNA, Family Patterns, and the Aha Moment Judy explains that people inherit not only physical DNA but also emotional DNA, including patterns of thoughts, feelings, actions, and inactions. These patterns may come from parents, grandparents, countries of origin, family trauma, or ancestral survival strategies. Mary Jane repeatedly questions how people can actually change these patterns, and Judy says the first step is to identify what is operating, then create a goal larger than current circumstances. Judy also describes constellation work as a way of making hidden family or organizational dynamics visible, using representatives or elements in relation to one another so people can see unconscious loyalties and arrive at an “aha” moment. Parents, Expectations, and Choosing One's Own Life Mary Jane and Judy discuss how parents often want better for their children, but may also try to live through them or push them toward dreams they themselves never fulfilled. Judy says the key question is whether a child is living their own life or someone else's. She explains that a person's growth is never only individual because each person belongs to a family system, whether they like it or not. When one person changes, stretches, and evolves, that shift affects the larger system. Mary Jane reflects on how her own mother may have wanted a more traditional life for her, even while being proud of her radio and television career. Finding the Next Step and Living the Life You Actually Have As the interview closes, Judy advises listeners to begin by asking who they are, where they are, what they want, and what excuses are keeping them from moving forward. She says people should examine their thoughts, feelings, actions, and inactions around a desire, then ask what those patterns mean about themselves and others. Judy directs listeners to JudyWilkins-Smith.com and says The Hidden Power in Your DNA is widely available. Mary Jane closes the segment by encouraging listeners to find their own special “aha” moment and reminds them of the Confucius quote that people have two lives, and the second begins when they realize they only have one.

One of the most pressing and contested topics on college campuses today is social justice, and many Christians are confused about how to understand it through a biblical lens. I hope this conversation will clear away some of the confusion. I'm joined by Dr. Thaddeus Williams, a professor of theology and philosophy at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology. Dr. Williams is the author of Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth.  In it, he argues that Christians are called to care deeply about justice, but that not every version of “social justice” reflects a biblical understanding of truth, human dignity, or the gospel. Instead, he invites readers to recover a vision of justice rooted in Scripture, the character of God, and the dignity of every human being made in the image of God. In our conversation, we explore how Christians can think carefully and faithfully about justice, truth, identity, and cultural engagement—especially in the context of higher education. In this podcast we discuss: How Thaddeus came to be interested in this topic and write Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth: 12 Questions Christians Should Ask About Social Justice. Why social justice is such a central topic on campus and in our culture. Defining “Social Justice B” and its underlying philosophy, Critical Theory. Why these ideas now provide ultimate meaning for many (becoming their religion). How students can understand and affirm biblical justice as true social justice (and how John Perkins helped clarify the four guideposts of correct social justice). How our culture's understanding of social justice (“Social Justice B”) actually leads to further injustice, making our culture cruel and uncaring. Why understanding the Image of God helps us think well about issues of social justice and equality. How to distinguish between “Social Justice A” and “Social Justice B” in conversations, papers, and class discussions.

 Debt Weapon: John Perkins on Global Power Plays: The Art of The Steal | John Perkins What if nations aren't conquered by armies anymore, but by loans, fear, scarcity, and the quiet seduction of power? In this explosive conversation, former economic hitman John Perkins pulls back the curtain on how countries are controlled, how leaders are bought, and why the same machinery once used abroad is now being used on ordinary Americans.  But this episode goes deeper than geopolitics. It reveals how good people get trapped inside corrupt systems, not because they are evil, but because identity, debt, status, and fear make truth too expensive to tell.  In this episode, we explore: How John Perkins was recruited at 26, fresh out of the Peace Corps, believing he was helping nations grow  Why GDP can be a deeply misleading metric that hides elite extraction behind national "growth."  The four pillars of the economic hitman system: fear, debt, scarcity, divide and conquer  How Trump didn't invent the system, but made it visible, branded it, and turned it inward  Why attacking a nation often strengthens the very regime you claim to oppose  The difference between the American ideal people still believe in, and the darker mechanisms operating beneath it  Why China has outplayed the U.S. economically in much of the world, and what that signals about the future of power  The crucial distinction between a death economy built on short-term extraction, and a life economy built on long-term benefit for all life  John's five-question framework for how listeners can stop feeling powerless and begin becoming part of that life economy  Let's be clear, this isn't a partisan episode. It's a forensic look at how power actually moves, how identity gets manipulated, and what it might take to build something better.  About the Guest John Perkins is the bestselling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and the brand new: The Art of the Steal: Trump and the Economic Hitman Presidency. A former chief economist, he now writes and speaks about global power, economic manipulation, and the urgent shift from a death economy to a life economy.  Resources John Perkins: https://johnperkins.org  About the Host Dov Baron works with elite leaders, teams, and organizations to decode the emotional source code driving behavior, power, culture, and decision-making, so they can lead from meaning, truth, and purpose rather than unconscious survival patterns.

I sat down with John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, and what he shared completely shifted my perspective.We talk about how global power really works—from the World Bank and IMF to how countries are pushed into debt traps that benefit corporations, not people. But this isn't just about geopolitics… it's about awareness, responsibility, and what each of us can actually do.The biggest takeaway for me? It's not about fear—it's about action.In this episode, we get into:- What an “economic hitman” actually does- How global systems impact everyday life- The truth behind GDP and who it really benefits- China vs. the U.S. — what's really happening- Why we're at a critical inflection point in history- The 5 questions YOU can ask to create real changeThis conversation challenged me—and I think it will challenge you too.Like this episode?

Send us Fan MailREPRISE - When Ken researched his Bible School classmate, Melvin Warren, he stumbled across Dr. Curtis' book. It referenced a familiar, legendary press conference. In 1970, at the famed Arch entrance at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Melvin made a speech as the cameras rolled and journalists scribbled notes. He claimed that the school's racism so marred his experience as a student that he tore up his diploma and tossed it into the trash. He made national news.That incident not only drove Ken into a years-long quest to understand the dynamic of racism in his white evangelical church but it also played significantly into the doctoral dissertation of another Moody grad, Dr. Jesse Curtis. Dr. Curtis is now an assistant professor at Valparaiso University. Ken and Jesse compare notes on that momentous event. It prompted Ken's Beached White Male journey. It also contributed to Dr. Curtis' doctoral focus - now a book considered a “must-read” by both Jemar Tisby and Kristin Kobes du Mez. Ken and Jese discuss The Myth of Colorblind Christians: Evangelicals and White Supremacy in the Civil Rights Era.Dr. Curtis covers the history of racism in the white evangelical church, going back to the Billy Graham era, when Howard Jones became the first African American evangelist on “The Team.” Jesse believes that the Church Growth Movement, founded by Donald McGavran, contributed to the segregation that was a feature in the explosive growth of the church at the turn of the century - including “ethnic” congregations and mega-churches. McGavran's protege, C. Peter Wagner, added fuel to that dynamic. In their wide-ranging discussion, they talk about evangelical super-stars like Rick Warren and Bill Hybels as well as champions like Bill Pannell, Tom Skinner, and John Perkins. Curtis argues that the notion of “colorblind Christians” is a myth.While he wrote some five years ago, the case is as relevant as ever. Just this week, in his inaugural address, the 47th President stated, “We will forge a society that is colorblind…” His supporters stood in enthusiastic applause. Ken and Jesse agree: this is not progress. SHOW NOTESFirst Aired JAN 2025Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

What does it cost to pastor faithfully in a city shaped by both beauty and deep injustice? Corey Widmer has spent twenty years navigating race, politics, and the gospel in Richmond, Virginia. "We're living in an extraordinary moral and spiritual crisis that we will either look back and say the American church was an accomplice, or the American church was a prophet." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Widmer reflects on bridging divided communities and the spiritual practices that can sustain pastors as they serve their congregations and communities. Together they discuss pressures facing pastors in a polarized era, the prophet-priest-king calling, Richmond's racial history, pastoral burnout, John Stott's legacy, and the contemplative life. Episode Highlights "We're living in an extraordinary moral and spiritual crisis that we will either look back and say the American church was an accomplice, or the American church was a prophet." "No political party could possibly align with the ethic of the radical upside down kingdom of Jesus." "Bridges are stretched between two points and bear tremendous weight." "At the heart of the universe is not power. At the heart of the universe is communion, is love." "You know when you're really not a prophet is when after you say the hard word, you leave the room and say, I hope they still like me." About Corey Widmer Corey Widmer is senior pastor of Third Church, a Presbyterian congregation in Richmond, Virginia. Corey has served as a pastor in Richmond for over twenty years, both at Third Church and at East End Fellowship, a multi-racial neighbourhood congregation.

Rich Villodas is the Brooklyn-born lead pastor of New Life Fellowship, a large, multiracial church with more than seventy-five countries represented in Queens, NYC. His award-winning book, The Deeply Formed Life, was released in September 2020, followed by his second book, Good and Beautiful and Kind. His most recent book, The Narrow Path, released July 2024. He and his wife, Rosie, have two beautiful children and reside in Long Island, New York. You can connect with Rich through his website, www.richvillodas.com. We live in a culture that wants it all. More is seen as better – whether it’s more money, social media fame, more choices, or power. For those chasing this way of life, ‘narrow’ seems negative. Who wants to narrow their options, or be seen as narrow-minded? Which is why the most well-known talk in history – the Sermon on the Mount – is also the most paradoxical. In it, Jesus holds up the narrow path as the most spacious … and the broader path as the more confining one. Rich Villodas, bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, helps us to diagnose whether we are following the broad or narrow path, in order to help us pursue the way of Jesus more deeply. The Narrow Path reintroduces the counterintuitive wonder of Jesus’s timeless wisdom for this age, one fraught with anxiety, depression, polarizing politics, and online vitriol. The path of Jesus is most certainly narrow, but it is the only one filled with the ever-expanding life of God . . . and it is available now for all who want it!
