In this first episode of our Lenten series, we look at Mary Magdalene through the lens of the Song of Songs.The Bride in the Song rises at night and searches for the one her soul loves. Mary Magdalene walks toward the tomb while it is still dark. The Church has long seen the connection. The poetry of longing becomes a body in a garden.This episode is about the holy ache, the kind of love that remains when consolation fades. It is about fidelity in emotional drought, desire purified of substitutes, and staying when God feels hidden.Lent is not first about discipline. It is about what kind of love remains when clarity is gone.If you are praying and not feeling much, seeking and not finding, still showing up even when it feels quiet, you are not failing. You may be learning how to stay.Support the podcast via Patreon: www.patreon.com/anthonystongue
Check out this awesome show from March 7, 2025 (2:40) Bible Study: Isaiah 58:1-9a – While it may seem like a condemnation of fasting, this is not so as Jesus himself fasted. Taking up your cross and denying yourself means saying no to yourself. Freedom is the ability to do the right thing and that is the point of fasting, to be free and exercise freedom. Matthew 9:14-15 – If your fasting makes you quarrelsome and difficult don’t bother with it. If your fasting gives you the freedom to be charitable that is good. Jesus talks about being the Bridegroom. (16:08) Break 1 (16:53) Letters: Were there actually angels who had relations with humans? The word “Nephilim” means “fallen ones”. Daryl - I was wondering about the DaVinci Code and wanted to know if Mary Magdalene the wife of Jesus? There is no history in the DaVinci Code. Did Judas conspire with Jesus to have him crucified? No, that is nonsense. Be careful what you name your kids and don’t name your kids “Judas”. (32:25) Break 2 (33:29) Word of the Day: Sacrament (39:34) Phones: Ed - How many times a day could I receive the Eucharist? Gerard - About the Eucharist, in the Passion 2000 years ago, basically Jesus surrendered himself. Does Jesus do the same thing at Mass. Could you clarify? Jane - In the Jubilee Year, what is the deal with indulgence? can you obtain one for yourself and another? Nancy - Organizing a confirmation retreat, any advice on how to explain the sacrament to teens?

I discuss how this connection can heal societal wounds, enhance creativity, and empower individuals. The conversation covers specific goddesses associated with love, health, abundance, empowerment, and peace, as well as the significance of Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary.You can dive deeper into the Goddesses and Divine Feminine in my Divine Alignment Code online program, at www.pipcoleman.com/programs.
This was recorded at the beginning of February. We catch up on a month and a half of life and talk about some moments of the life of St. Mary Magdalene. What are some indications of true conversion? We look at trust, being prompt, generous, and constant. Happy belated Birthday to our brothers-in-law.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 19th of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 43:1. The Lord says: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”We serve a personal God. He is not just the God or the Creator of 8 Billion people, He knows you by name, and will prove that to you if you go to John 20:16: This was Jesus now after the resurrection when Mary Magdalene went down to the tomb to find the Lord's body and of course it wasn't there, and then she thought the gardener was there. She didn't recognise the Lord. She thought it was the gardener, and she wanted to know, “What have you done with the body of my Lord?' Listen to this: “Jesus said to her, “Mary!”She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).” She recognised Him when He called her by her name. A person's name - it is so important. I remember when I was a little boy, my dad would come out and say, “Angus”, just once, and I knew exactly who it was, and I knew it was time to come in, no arguments. What about you today? Do you know His name? Is He personal to you? Is He a friend to you, who sticks closer than a brother? Oh my dear friend, if there is one thing I am looking forward to, it is the day I go home to be with Jesus in Heaven, and I want to hear Him say, “Angus, well done, good and faithful servant, come and enter into thy fullness!” That is what I want. I just want to hear my name called by the Creator of Heaven and Earth. What a privilege!Names are so important. I have done many, many weddings. When I was younger, I had the privilege of marrying off three of my own children, and the beautiful thing is, after you have said the vows and the ring has been put on the finger then I love to just stand there saying, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I now want to introduce you to Mr and Mrs…..and then you can put, “Joseph” or whatever the man's name is, and I tell you what, I always like to look at the face of that young bride. She now has his name, and then I see his face and he now has his beautiful wife.Don't forget the importance of names. Try and remember people's names. It means so much to them.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.
What if the women of the early church weren't silent observers but powerful leaders, patrons, and apostles whose stories have been hidden for 2,000 years? In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Lynn Cohick, Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Houston Christian University and author of "Women in the World of the Earliest Christians," reveals how archaeological evidence, ancient inscriptions, and business documents completely transform our understanding of women's roles in early Christianity. From Lydia's influential house church to Phoebe's role as Paul's patron, from Mary Magdalene's true identity as a businesswoman to Junia's recognition as an apostle, Dr. Cohick exposes how prescriptive ideals from ancient philosophers masked the descriptive reality of women's actual lives and leadership.Dr. Cohick's decades of research illuminate how women navigated complex social structures through informal power networks, benefaction systems, and household authority. She explains how the house church model created unexpected leadership opportunities, how women maintained financial independence through dowries and personal property, and why understanding the actual social context of the first century radically changes how we interpret Paul's controversial passages about women. This conversation reveals how recovering these hidden stories isn't just about correcting history - it's about unleashing gospel transformation in our churches today.In this episode you will learn:How women served as patrons and benefactors who financially supported Paul's ministry and the early churchWhy Mary Magdalene was likely a successful businesswoman, not a prostitute, and how this misidentification happenedHow the house church model gave women authority and leadership roles we often overlookWhat archaeological evidence like tombstones and inscriptions reveal about women serving as deacons and synagogue leadersHow understanding patronage and reciprocity systems explains Phoebe's powerful role as Paul's prostatisWhy Paul's "women be silent" passages make sense when understood in their specific chaotic contextsHow Jewish women and God-fearers navigated between synagogue and church in joining the Jesus movementWhat Junia's story tells us about women being recognized as apostles in the early churchHow women's financial independence through dowries and property ownership gave them unexpected agencyWhy recognizing women's informal influence patterns transforms how we read the New Testament todayConnect with Dr. Lynn Cohick:Center for Women in Leadership: leadershipwithoutapology.orgHouston Christian University: hc.eduBook: "Women in the World of the Earliest Christians: Illuminating Ancient Ways of Life" Stay Connected with Johnny Ova & The Dig In Podcast:Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGet Johnny's Book "The Revelation Reset": https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H
Mary Magdalene was one of Jesus's disciples. The Gospels say she traveled with him, was present at his crucifixion, and was the first to see him after his resurrection. Most Christians don't view her as one of the more important disciples, if they see her as a disciple at all. However, this wasn't always the case; plenty of evidence suggests that the writings attributed to Mary played a key role in shaping the early Christian movement. Join us this Sunday as we explore what happened to Mary's teachings and how the decision to exclude her voice continues to affect Christianity today. www.TheLoftLA.org
We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --After this manner therefore pray: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13 KJVWe are not created to be subjects to the kingdom of this world but to the Kingdom of our God.From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17 ESVGod's word is literally a revelation of His Kingdom priorities and yet those priorities are rarely ever ours.God's Kingdom is His sovereign rule and reign in heaven and on earth, presently accomplishing His will in and through the hearts and lives of those who faithfully follow Him. He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. Colossians 1:13 CSBHe is a compassionate King.Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him. Matthew 2:1-2 ESV For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11 ESVJesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world. John 18:37 NKJVJesus came for a Revolution of Redemption and Restoration!He is the Conquering King!Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” John 19:19 ESVDeath, the previously undefeated foe, was no match for our conquering savior and King.They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.” Revelation 17:14 ESV The more pertinent question is, who was on that cross? - John LennoxNow after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen. Matthew 28:1-6 ESV3) He is the Sovereign King Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty. Psalm 24:8 ESVTherefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11 NLTMuch of the chaos is in our lives stems from the fact that we don't rightly respond to Christ's sovereign rule as King.For God is the King over all the earth.

Guest preacher Dale Edwards shares a powerful message, taken from Luke 7, of the desperate but committed and faithful actions of a woman (some think it was Mary Magdalene) in the house of Simon the Pharisee. Her recognition of Jesus echoes the Hebrew tradition of the "kinsman redeemer" as seen in the Old Testament book of Ruth. Ruth and her kinsman redeemer Boaz were grandparents of King David and thus on the line to the woman's, and our, kinsman redeemer, Jesus.
Many of the most powerful teachers of the mysteries are also fierce protectors of truth, and in this conversation, Mellissa Seaman sits down with one of the clearest voices in the modern Magdalene field: Kathleen McGowan. Kathleen is the New York Times bestselling author of the Magdalene series, a lifelong investigative researcher, and a living steward of the lands and lineages connected to Mary Magdalene. Together, they explore what it means to actually study the Magdalene, historically, spiritually, culturally, and somatically, especially in an age where AI-generated "expertise," borrowed teachings, and spiritual fan-fiction can travel faster than lived lineage. This episode is a grounding invitation for anyone who feels devoted to depth: to the land, to the elders, to the documents, to the real human story without losing the mysticism that makes Magdalene's legacy so catalytic. In This Episode, You'll Learn ✅ Why rooted teachings require time, apprenticeship, and real relationship with place ✅ How to discern historical truth from modern spiritual overlay (and why it matters) ✅ The difference between channeling insight and declaring historical fact ✅ Why land-based lineages (like southern France) require proper guidance and stewardship ✅ The importance of honoring the OG women whose scholarship cracked the story open ✅ What "dilution" does to sacred teachings, and why it echoes the very forces we're trying to heal Timestamp Highlights 00:00–03:40 — Mellissa introduces Kathleen's work and the urgency of truth 03:40–07:40 — AI, "downloads," and the rising confusion around Magdalene teachings 07:40–12:30 — Apprenticeship, embodied learning, and why elders matter 12:30–19:40 — Land stewardship, spiritual permission, and the cost of flattening lineage 19:40–26:50 — Honoring the women who opened the field + the responsibility of transmission 26:50–34:30 — "I just want the spiritual info"… and why the history is spiritual 34:30–41:40 — Magdalene as catch-all divine feminine symbol (and why that erases her) 41:40–50:24 — Integrity, devotion to truth, and Kathleen's invitation into deeper study More About Kathleen McGowan Kathleen McGowan is an internationally published author and researcher known for her decades-long devotion to Magdalene history, land-based lineage, and source-rooted spiritual teaching. Her work bridges investigative scholarship with lived, embodied transmission, bringing students into a deeper relationship with Magdalene as a real woman with a real legacy.

In this episode, I'm diving into the deeper roots of artificial scarcity and what it truly means to embody abundance.This isn't just about money or manifestation. What came through is a much older separation template — one connected to Atlantis, the split between the spiritual and material worlds, and the ways we've internalized fragmentation in our bodies and relationships.The central theme is Embodied Abundance. I explore the Pyramid of Balance — our relationship with the body, with others, with our service, and with the elements — and why true abundance requires coherence, regulation, and presence.This episode also includes a channeled sacred union transmission from Mary Magdalene and Yeshua, along with a solar plexus recalibration to help dissolve scarcity imprints held in the system.Take what resonates. Let your body integrate. And allow abundance to become something you live.Sign up for Conscious Creators Academy (Winter Cohort – Abundance Templates):https://www.activationswithjj.com/offers/zjpD4JkL/checkout
On today's episode, we discuss what scholars mean by the “historical Jesus” and how that project differs from simply asking what extra‑biblical sources say about Christ or spinning speculative tales like a secret marriage to Mary Magdalene. Historical‑Jesus research is presented as historiography—the history of how 18th–21st century scholars have tried to reconstruct Jesus using modern historical methods while partially suspending full trust in the Gospels and early church tradition. The episode walks through form criticism and the influential “criterion of double dissimilarity,” which tries to identify sayings and actions most likely authentic when they are unlike both 1st‑century Judaism and later Christian preaching, along with the more aggressive “criterion of embarrassment,” which treats unflattering or awkward details—such as Jesus praying that the cup of suffering might pass—as especially historically plausible. The hosts debate the strengths and abuses of these tools, noting that they can highlight Jesus's genuine uniqueness and humanity but become distorting when used to deny continuity between Jesus and the early church or to strip him from his Jewish context, effectively turning him into an ahistorical “alien.” The conversation then drills into dense theological questions: whether the “Word of God” in John 1 refers to Jesus, Scripture, the gospel, or all of the above; how divine inspiration relates to fallible human memory; and why the Gospels are better seen as faithful, interpretive testimonies to Jesus rather than verbatim transcripts. Finally, the episode turns pastoral and practical as they wrestle with blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (attributing Spirit‑empowered exorcisms to Satan), Satan's temptation offers and “permissive will,” Old Testament figures like Samson and Balaam, and why, despite scholarly debates about method, the non‑negotiable center for Christians remains trusting the risen Christ revealed in Scripture. Don't miss it!
After the resurrection, Jesus' first words to His fearful disciples were simple but powerful: “Peace be with you.” In John 20:11–23, we see anxious followers hiding behind locked doors, Mary Magdalene weeping outside the tomb, and hearts overwhelmed by confusion, grief, and uncertainty. Into that fear, the risen Christ steps and speaks peace. This message explores why Jesus offered peace then — and why He still offers it today. We all experience moments like the disciples: fear about the future, disappointment in our circumstances, and questions about what comes next. Yet this passage shows us that the presence of Jesus changes everything. Mary's tears turn into testimony, the disciples' fear becomes gladness, and their confusion becomes calling. In this teaching, we learn: • Jesus offers peace when we are scared and uncertain • Jesus offers peace that replaces fear with gladness and joy • Jesus offers peace, fills us with His Spirit, and calls us to a greater purpose Biblical peace (eirēnē — similar to shalom) is more than calm feelings. It is wholeness, security, and confidence rooted in the presence of Christ Himself. God's peace is not found in perfect circumstances — it is found in a living Savior. God's peace is followed by God's purpose. Scripture: John 20:11–23 Join us as we discover the peace that only the risen Jesus can give.

He explains how understanding these seasons can help believers navigate both joyful and challenging times, highlighting lessons such as the importance of patience, planning, and spiritual growth. Fr. Matthias also addresses related biblical questions, including the significance of Old Testament laws on mixing seeds and fabrics as a call for spiritual purity and separation from worldly influences. He discusses the necessity of attending liturgy to fully partake in communion, emphasizing the communal and transformative nature of worship. Additional topics include the meaning behind Psalm 70's “Aha” expression of triumph, the offense some experienced to Christ's message, the reason Mary Magdalene was told not to touch the risen Christ, and how to balance assertiveness with humility based on scriptural guidance. This session offers biblical insights on faith, obedience, and practical Christian living.

Matthias discusses the call to come to Christ for rest and the meaning of “taking His yoke,” emphasizing partnership with God in suffering. He explains the story of the sinful woman anointing Jesus' feet, illustrating forgiveness and love's response to pardon. Fr. Matthias introduces the first mentions of women disciples like Mary Magdalene and Joanna, who supported Jesus' ministry. The teaching on the Parable of the Sower reveals different responses to God's word based on the condition of the heart, urging faithful perseverance and spiritual understanding.

Send us a textAn 8-Part Magdalene SeriesWelcome to My Temple - a sanctuary for remembering, restoring balance, and awakening the wisdom we carry in our bones.In Episode 6 of our 8-part Magdalene series, we enter the teaching known as the Kingdom of the Flesh. This teaching is not a rejection of the body, nor a call to escape being human. Rather, it speaks to what happens when we forget how to inhabit our lives, when we live disconnected from the body, ruled by ego, productivity, judgment, or survival consciousness.Rooted in Mary Magdalene's wisdom, this episode explores how the Kingdom of the Flesh shows up in everyday life. Together, we reflect on how this forgetting creates suffering, not because the body is wrong, but because we've lost presence within it. When met with awareness and the mind of the heart, the Kingdom of the Flesh becomes a doorway rather than an obstacle, inviting us back into embodiment, compassion, and lived truth.This episode includes reflection, teaching, and gentle inward listening, offering space to remember that the sacred is not found beyond the human experience, but within it.You may wish to gather a journal, oracle cards, or a warm tea as we journey together in sacred remembering.

Everything we thought we knew about women in the Bible was shaped by centuries of erasure. In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Professor Tal Ilan, one of the world's leading historians on Jewish women in late antiquity, to uncover the real lives of women in the first century. From synagogue leaders to economic powerhouses, from temple participation to early Christian leadership, Prof. Ilan reveals the evidence that's been hiding in plain sight. Her research in the Lexicon of Jewish Names and the Feminist Commentary on the Babylonian Talmud Project has reshaped how scholars understand women's roles in ancient Judaism, and this conversation will transform how you read the New Testament.This isn't just history. This is about recovering the stories that were written out of Scripture and discovering what happens when we put them back in. Prof. Ilan walks us through inscriptions, archaeological evidence, and ancient texts that prove Jewish women held far more agency, influence, and leadership than we've been taught. And when we apply that context to figures like Mary Magdalene, Phoebe, Priscilla, and Junia, the New Testament comes alive in ways you've never seen before.In this episode you will learn:- Why 70% of the "silent, secluded woman" image is historically accurate, but the 30% that isn't changes everything- The archaeological evidence of women as synagogue leaders, donors, and patrons throughout the ancient Jewish world- How women participated in temple festivals, sacred spaces, and religious life in ways that contradict common assumptions- Why Mary Magdalene may actually be the founder of Christianity based on her role in the resurrection narrative- The truth about female apostles like Junia, Phoebe, and Priscilla and what their leadership tells us about early Christianity- How the destruction of the temple actually reduced women's religious participation compared to earlier periods- Why Paul's list of resurrection witnesses deliberately excluded women, and what that reveals about early Christian politics- The connection between Jesus's inclusive ministry and the women who became his closest followers- How rabbinic Judaism developed partly in response to Christianity's "New Testament" model- What modern Christians are missing when they read the Bible without understanding first-century Jewish women's real livesConnect with Prof. Tal Ilan:Prof. Ilan's groundbreaking work includes:The Lexicon of Jewish Names in Late AntiquityIntegrating Women into Second Temple HistorySUBSCRIBE TO THE DIG IN PODCASTYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaCONNECT WITH JOHNNY OVAAll Things Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGet Johnny's Book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H
Send us a textI am honoured and excited to share my chat with Andrew Harvey, an internationally renowned religious scholar, writer, teacher, author and the founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism! Andrew leads us into an exploration of the revelatory union between Jesus and Mary Magdalene as co-equal partners in a mission toward wholeness that unifies masculine and feminine, transcendence and embodiment, and heaven and earth. Here, Mary is recognised as a fully empowered feminine Christ who, in embodying her own sacred authority and destiny, enabled not only Jesus' mission, but in co-creation with him, birthed a living map for a new earth founded on love, courage, and kindness for all of us.Andrew's latest book, The Magdalene Revolution, is a beautifully written, evocative masterpiece, which - in its combination of scholarly research, divine transmissions and Andrew's own mystical experiences - had me in tears of recognition, joy, and alignment many, many times. The book brings to light revolutionary aspects of Jesus' and Mary Magdalene's sacred union, and reminds us of their extraordinary lives as courageous, divinely inspired individuals who, in their devotion to the Mother and the path of love, were ready to risk it all.

The gospel is more than a familiar phrase—it is a life-altering announcement. This message explores what "good news" truly means and how it speaks to faithful people who are tired, waiting, and unsure of what comes next. Through the story of Mary Magdalene and the truth of Christ's resurrection, we are reminded that good news isn't just about salvation someday, but God's presence and purpose right now. When clarity feels distant and hope feels thin, Jesus still comes near, calls us by name, and reminds us that our lives—and our faith—still matter.

We often try to change what we do without first healing who we are. But Jesus works in a different order.In this message from the Find Your One series, we look at the story of Mary Magdalene and see how Jesus restores identity before redirecting behavior. Once defined by bondage and labels, Mary is called by name—first healed, then trusted, and finally sent.From deliverance to resurrection morning, this sermon reminds us that Jesus does not name us by our past, our pain, or our reputation. He names us as His own. And when identity is restored, purpose naturally follows.As we seek to Find Your One, we're reminded that restored people don't just cling to Jesus privately—they go and proclaim Him publicly.
The Lunar New Year, the year of the Fire Horse, is fast approaching, bringing with it an intensity, speed, and passion we haven't seen in years. This energy is powerful, but without a grounded spiritual container, it can easily lead to burnout or overwhelm. Are you prepared to ride this wave? What is the best way to prepare? In this episode, I share the key things to know about the Fire Horse energy, and why Mary Magdalene is the essential guide you need to navigate this powerful upcoming shift. We explore how her wisdom provides the perfect "vessel" to hold the Fire Horse energy—allowing you to harness its power for miracles rather than exhaustion. NOTE: I will be sharing the full, deep-dive spiritual energy forecast for the entire month of February in my next episode! PS-

Elizabeth Tabish, renowned for portraying Mary Magdalene on The Chosen, joins In the Room for an unfiltered conversation about casting, ambition, and staying human inside a business that constantly evaluates you.She reflects on growing up in Oklahoma, building a career through commercials and indie work in Austin, and the psychological wear of auditions, self tapes, and the approval cycle. Elizabeth opens up about the moment she stepped back to protect her health, and how The Chosen arrived at the exact intersection of her life and craft. The conversation also explores women's creative authority, why making your own work matters, and how platforms like YouTube and the internet are reshaping who gets to be heard.A grounded, revealing episode about artistry, survival, and choosing your own voice.

Like the rest of us, Pope Leo, the first American Pope, is under siege by MAGA. We discuss MAGA's war on the "globalist," "culturally Marxist" Catholic Church with Colleen Dulle, Vatican reporter for America Magazine and author of Struck Down, Not Destroyed. Christian Nationalists have captured the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court. Now they are targeting the Holy See. We track the strategy from Steve Bannon's "gladiator school" for disinformation agents to recently converted Catholic JD Vance using his faith to justify mass deportations and ICE terror squads. MAGA has launched a financial boycott of the Catholic Church, provided safe haven and amplification for its biggest crackpots, while deploying dark-money disinformation and a Fox News-style Catholic press to target reformers. We also confront the Vatican's long history of abuse and gaslighting. We discuss the erasure of trans people and women leaders like Mary Magdalene, arguably the true first pope. We also look to what the first American pontiff, Pope Leo, will bring in this time of crisis, and whether he will continue Pope Francis's war on Opus Dei–the far-right human trafficking crime cult that gained prominence during Franco's dictatorship in Spain. Opus Dei has set up shop in Washington, DC, counting among its allies Vance and the Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts, architect of Project 2025.

In episode 519 of the podcast I'm joined by astrologer Reverend Lindsay Turner to discuss the story of the Magi, the birth of Jesus, and the astrology surrounding the Nativity story. We explore the celebration of Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day, and analyze the Gospel of Matthew's account of the astrologers from the East who followed a star to Bethlehem. We discuss the distinction between approaching the Nativity as a historical event versus a literary narrative, and how the author of Matthew partially used the story of the Magi to legitimize Jesus as a king in the 1st century. We also look at technical astrological terms found in the Greek text, such as anatole or "at its rising," and how this relates to Hellenistic astrology. We also talk about the relationship between early Christianity and astrology, including the non-canonical Acts of Paul and Thecla, the liturgical seasons aligning with the Zodiac, and how modern Christians can reconcile their faith with astrological practice.

Are you searching for a way to respond to these times that makes you feel empowered, without getting pulled into the mire? I have been praying about this myself, and guess who answered my prayer: St. Mary Magdalene! She reminded me that even during the darkest times, when all hope is lost, keep showing up and doing what is yours to do! In this episode, I share my own personal journey of navigating these times, and how connecting with Mary Magdalene has been like finding a Lighthouse in a storm. I also share how YOU can connect with this powerful saint for support and guidance during these turbulent times. And if you want to be mentored by Mary Magdalene during this year of change, click here to find out more about her Inner Circle Message & Mentoring Program. Key Learnings: 1) I have been fasting from the news, mostly to guard my inner peace and nervous system, but the news of the murder of Renee Good found me anyway. I have good friends who live in Minneapolis, and this could have easily been them. In truth, it could have been me too. But how do I respond to this? I don't want to add to the fear, anger and despair already present. That is when a miracle happened. 2) Like a lightning bolt in my mind, Mary Magdalene made her presence known to me. It was then that I realized that HER energy was the one to follow during this dark time. Mary Magdalene witnessed the worst of the worst, a heartbreaking nightmare that none of us can imagine enduring…and yet she still showed up on Easter morning, willing to do whatever she could. THAT is the energy to follow this year. 3) When I realized how much Mary Magdalene could help ME, I knew I had to make her energy available to other women like me who wanted to feel empowered without falling into the narrative, who wanted to receive higher guidance about her path from Mary Magdalane herself. And that is why I created Mary Magdalene's Inner Circle Message & Mentoring Program. It is limited to just six women so that you receive in-depth messages and guidance each month.

In this episode, I'm sharing the deeper transmission behind the *14-Day Wealth Glow-Up* and why it was inspired by **Mary Magdalene showing up for me as a Queen of Pentacles archetype**.This is a recap, reflection, and invitation.Over the past two weeks inside my YouTube membership, we've moved through *seven initiations* that mirror the Magdalene veils — translated through the lens of the **Queen of Pentacles**: the archetype of embodied wealth, nervous system safety, and material sovereignty.At the heart of this work is a simple but radical question:*Can the feminine be fully embodied, resourced, and sustained without shame, sacrifice, or burnout?*In this episode, I explore:• Why wealth is not a mindset, but a *somatic state*• How shame, identity, and survival patterns live in the body• The connection between desire, safety, and receiving• Why embodiment — not transcendence — is the missing initiation in most spiritual wealth teachings• How Mary Magdalene and the Queen of Pentacles are working the same codes through different languagesThis episode is designed to give you a **map**, not the whole method.The full embodied practices, nervous system work, and daily initiations live inside the **14-Day Wealth Glow-Up**, available in the membership through the end of February.✨ *Also announced in this episode:**Tantric Money — LIVE inside the membership on February 17th*A live class exploring *4 Primal Anomalies* you can enact daily to radically change your ability to receive, hold, and sustain abundance — without force, hustle, or collapse.If you've ever felt spiritually awake but materially unsupported…If you've tried manifesting but still feel unsafe receiving…If abundance seems to arrive and then disappear…This work was created for you.---

“After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened. But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn’t believe her.” (Mark 16:9–11 NLT) Of all the people Jesus could have appeared to first after His resurrection, He appeared to Mary Magdalene. Mary was yet another in a long line of unlikely people entrusted by the Lord with important responsibilities. Think about it. Jacob was an opportunist who tricked both his brother and his father to get what he wanted (see Genesis 27:1–40). Moses was a murderer who had no confidence in his ability to speak, let alone lead an entire nation out of enslavement (see Exodus 3:1–4:17). Rahab was a prostitute living in enemy territory (see Joshua 2:1–24). Gideon responded to God’s call with these words: “How can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!” (Judges 6:15 NLT). David was such an unlikely candidate to be anointed king that his own father dismissed the possibility (see 1 Samuel 16:1–13). Esther was a young Jewish girl who became the queen of Persia after winning a beauty contest (see Esther 2:1–20). The “faith hall of fame” in Hebrews 11 is filled with inductees who probably wouldn’t have made the ballot if their peers had been on the selection committee. But, as God explained to Samuel, “The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7 NLT). The Lord will not overlook anyone whose heart is attuned to Him. The women who followed Jesus and supported His ministry certainly recognized that. It would be an understatement to say that women were not held in high regard in first-century Israel. Many rabbis taught that it was better for the words of the Law to be burned than to be delivered by a woman. Yet Jesus chose a woman to be the first herald of His resurrection. It’s also worth noting that women were the last people at the cross and the first people at the tomb. Mary Magdalene had courage that many men lacked when Jesus was crucified. She stood by Him through it all. In fact, the Bible tells us that after He was crucified, Mary “saw where Jesus’ body was laid” (Mark 15:47 NLT). She watched as they took His body from the cross, wrapped it, and placed it in a tomb that belonged to Joseph of Arimathea. And Mary, along with other women, arrived at the tomb very early on Sunday morning to anoint Jesus’ body with spices (see Mark 16:1–2). Mary’s faithfulness was rewarded with a key role in history. The Lord says, “If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me” (Jeremiah 29:13 NLT). God rewards the diligent. He will reveal His truths to those who set aside time in their day to seek the Lord, who prioritize His Word, and wait upon Him.

Tonight we step into the gray areas people are told not to look at. We talk Freemasonry in Minnesota, 33-degree symbolism, and why certain patterns keep repeating in plain sight. We separate the ridiculous conspiracies from the uncomfortable ones that actually hold up under scrutiny. We also revisit Mary Magdalene—not as the caricature we were taught, but as a woman whose role may have been deliberately minimized, if not erased entirely. And finally, I explain why I changed my voter registration to unaffiliated—and why walking away from party identity isn't apathy, but clarity.

Here is a great encore from July 22, 2025 Fr. Peter Armenio joins Patrick to Friendship with Christ How can we have friendship with God? (12:19) How do we understand some of the euphemism that saints use to describe their love for Christ? (18:25) Bob - I once went to confession and told the priest I was having trouble getting angry with God over disappointments. Angry about it and yelling at God. Fr. told me you probably think I'll get down on you for getting angry with God, but you know God and trust him enough that you can get angry with Him and you can handle that. I was really moved by that. Relationship with God is everything. (26:05) Break 1 Marsha - I'm a cradle Catholic. I've had a relationship with Jesus. The Baptists brought me into that relationship. They gave me a deeper dive into the intimacy with Christ. I hope they saw the beauty of the Catholic church. How does interior life help us from our relationship with Jesus? (40:40) Deedee - My relationship is one of a father and daughter. Trying to be friends with God is sacrilegious. Wouldn't there be a spiritual boundary of some sort? What does friendly speech sound like instead of prayer? (43:43) Break 2 (44:49) What can Mary Magdalene teach us about friendship with Christ?

Jesus, thank you for calling me by name. Keywords: Loved; resurrected; tomb; Mary Magdalene; Savior; Jesus said. Scripture: John 20:16
The Gospel of John presents itself as rooted in the testimony of 'the disciple whom Jesus loved'. But who was this disciple? Over the centuries, scholars have proposed a baffling range of explanations, from John the son of Zebedee or a 'John the Elder' to Lazarus and Mary Magdalene. Joining Helen and Lloyd in the Time Machine, Dr Hugo Mendez has a different theory: that John is a work of disguised authorship. The beloved disciple was not a real person, but is an idealised literary creation. Hugo Méndez is Associate Professor of Religious Studies in Ancient Mediterranean Religions, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. with particular focus on Johannine literature. He is the author of The Cult of Stephen in Jerusalem: Inventing a Patron Martyr and, most recently, The Gospel of John: A New History (Oxford University Press, 2025), a provocative reassessment that argues the Gospel is a work of disguised authorship rather than eyewitness testimony.SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Jn 20:1a and 2-8 – On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they put Him.” So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered His Head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. Feast of Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist Saint John, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day
Read OnlineSo Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. John 20:3–8The “other disciple,” the one who “saw and believed,” was John the Apostle whom we honor today. In his Gospel, John often refers to himself as “the one whom Jesus loved.” This title indicates not that Jesus loved John more than the others but that John's heart was perhaps the most open and receptive to Jesus' love, allowing our Lord's charity to fill him more completely.Celebrating the Feast of Saint John within the octave of Jesus' birth invites us to reflect not only on John but also on the deep and intimate love that he and Jesus shared—a love that serves as an icon of the love Jesus desires to bestow on each of us.Today's Gospel beautifully highlights three of John's virtues. First, his all-consuming love for Jesus is evident in his immediate response to Mary Magdalene's news of the empty tomb. John's love compelled him to run to the tomb with Peter, showing how deeply he cherished his relationship with the Lord.Second, John's respectful nature is revealed when he arrives at the tomb first but waits for Peter, the elder and leader among the Apostles, to enter before him. This act of deference speaks volumes about John's humility and respect for authority.Finally, after entering the tomb, John “saw and believed.” This moment reflects the depth of his faith, a faith that did not require physical proof but was grounded in a profound trust in Jesus. John's belief was a response to the infused gift of faith, a virtue that allowed him to recognize the truth of the Resurrection even before seeing the risen Lord.John's example challenges us to examine our own spiritual lives. Is our love for the Lord so strong that it draws us toward Him with the same urgency that led John to run to the tomb? Does our love for God translate into a genuine respect for others? Is our faith so deep that we trust in God's promises without needing visible proof?As we honor Saint John, reflect today on his identity as “the one whom Jesus loved.” His receptivity to Jesus' love made him stand out as a model disciple. Seek to imitate John by expanding the capacity of your heart to receive more of God's love, so that His presence within you becomes evident to others. My loving Lord, Your Sacred Heart overflowed with love for all people. Saint John was especially receptive to that love, enabling him to love You all the more. Please give me a heart like Saint John's so that I, too, may become Your beloved disciple. Saint John, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: St John at the Last Supper by Lawrence OP, license CC BY-NC-ND 2.0. Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Marie Howe's poetry shimmers with the keen attention she pays to language: the language of the body (both the human body and “the beautiful body of the world”), of people's everyday speech, and of religious myth. We are thrilled to offer this conversation between Pádraig and Marie, recorded as an online component of the Greenbelt Festival in England in 2025. Marie reads several poems, and together, they discuss Mary Magdalene as complex everywoman, the “eternal energy” of dead loved ones that fills Marie's life and work, and her current efforts to listen to what the Earth is saying to us. We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes. Marie Howe is the former Poet Laureate of New York and the author of five collections of poetry, including Magdalene, The Kingdom of Ordinary Time, and What the Living Do. She won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for her 2025 New and Selected Poems, published in the US by W .W. Norton. The same book is published in the UK as What the Earth Seemed to Say by Bloodaxe Books.
