She met her Angels for the first time while home alone, lying unconscious on the floor & again the night before surgery. Meeting the soul mate, Wendy contracted with to 'wake her up spiritually' led her to Dr. Michael Newton's 'Journey of Souls'.These two events in tandem triggered a profound spiritual awakening and wild ride to resolve their 21 shared past lives. She experienced stunning physical & emotional breakthroughs from her own past-life regressions & other healing work, including releasing a decades long battle with debilitating daily chronic pain & mobility issues.

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.  Note: This conversation was recorded on June 17, 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?

In this episode, we sit down with Kerry — mother, shaman, and newly published author of My Inner Heroine: Exploring Feminine Pain — to explore a life shaped by trauma, awakening, and radical self‑belief. As you can hear in the episode, her wisdom can apply in general to men.Kerry grew up in a single‑mother household in Southern California, navigating isolation, social struggle, and the early pressure to grow up fast. Her path carried her from Hot Dog on a Stick at 14, to studying Chinese and Religious Studies, to a marriage sparked in Tibet, to motherhood, divorce, and a corporate career in compliance. But the turning point came in 2015, when her mother died on Kerry's 45th birthday — a moment that cracked her life open and forced her to confront the psychic gifts and childhood wounds she had long avoided.What followed was a decade of upheaval and transformation. Kerry speaks candidly about the darkest moments, including a suicide attempt, and the unexpected teachers who helped her rebuild: shamans, psychologists, physicists, yogis, and the men who mirrored her deepest wounds back to her. From a chess champion to decorated fire academy instructors to a former FBI assistant special agent in charge, each relationship became a catalyst for self‑understanding and spiritual expansion.Kerry also shares the profound synchronicities that led her to accept a past‑life identity as Mary Magdalene — a belief that reshaped her understanding of feminine pain, spiritual lineage, and her purpose in this lifetime.This conversation is raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. Kerry brings a rare willingness to go into the places most people avoid — trauma, identity, mysticism, sexuality, and the messy, nonlinear path of healing. Her story is an invitation to anyone carrying emotional wounds to transform them into wisdom, power, and self‑trust.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policyPodtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

Join Dallas and Carlos as they conclude their study of the Gospel of Mark by exploring the "longer ending" of chapter 16. In this episode, they tackle the textual theories surrounding these verses, the historical reliability of the New Testament, and the profound commission Jesus gave His followers before His ascension. From the disbelief of the disciples to the miraculous signs that followed the early church, this discussion highlights the authority of Christ and the call to take the Gospel to all creation. Listen as we discuss: The textual history of Mark 16 and why the New Testament remains the most reliable ancient document in existence. The appearances of Jesus to Mary Magdalene and the two travelers, noting the disciples' initial struggle with unbelief. The "spiritual scatterbrain" and chaos the disciples felt in the days following the crucifixion. Jesus' rebuke of the Eleven for their hardness of heart and His subsequent command to preach the Gospel to the whole world. The spiritual significance of baptism as an outward proclamation of an internal immersion in Christ. Understanding "signs" like healing and protection as miracles that follow believers rather than commands to be forced. The theological importance of the Ascension and Jesus sitting at the "right hand of God" as a position of ultimate authority and intercession. ==========

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.

The conversation delves into cultural syncretism, the role of women in religious narratives, and the symbolism of hair in the Harry Mary motif.They also touch on the historical context of artistic representations, the intersection of AI and human creativity, and the enduring legends of wild men and Bigfoot. Throughout the discussion, the hosts reflect on the deeper meanings behind these narratives and their relevance in contemporary society.====================

This ALC Podcast transcript features a sermon titled "Choose to Win," which focuses on transitioning spiritually into a new year by releasing the past. The speaker utilizes biblical narratives, such as Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well and the healing of Mary Magdalene, to emphasize the importance of discerning divine timing and receiving fresh revelation. He argues that many believers remain paralyzed by tradition or previous trauma, preventing them from moving forward with the kingdom of God. To achieve victory, the speaker urges the audience to consciously choose forgiveness over bitterness, generosity over greed, and faith over feelings. Ultimately, the message serves as a prophetic call to shed emotional and spiritual baggage to embrace a purified heart and a successful future.

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.

Send us a textWelcome to My Temple, a sanctuary for remembering the Divine Feminine and awakening the wisdom we've carried in our bones.In Episode 3 of our 8-part Magdalene series, we enter the Second Power: Craving - not as something to suppress or shame, but as the sacred hunger that reminds us we are alive. Rooted in the teachings of the Gospel of Mary, this episode explores craving as the soul's longing for connection, beauty, meaning, and embodied experience.Together, we reflect on the two faces of craving - how it can contract us when led by fear, and how it can expand and guide us home when aligned with the eye of the heart. Craving is revealed not as a flaw, but as a force that moves us toward truth, love, and remembrance.This episode includes reflection, teaching, and a gentle invitation to listen inward, offering a space to honour desire as holy, human, and deeply connected to the path of awakening.You may wish to gather a journal, oracle cards, or a warm tea as we journey together in sacred remembering.✨ Subscribe for the full 8-part Magdalene series and future episodes exploring ritual, soul wisdom, and the Divine Feminine path.

Gospel John 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. Reflection Yesterday, the scriptures reminded us of the cost of discipleship, and what we need to understand is when we go through pain and suffering, it is a transformation, not something to be frightened of. We need transition. We need evolution of consciousness. We need to grow. So the church focuses on this day on how it went with Jesus. The ultimate thing that he did was stand close to his father, revealing nothing but love and truth and he was rejected, he was murdered and he rose. It's a mystery of transformation. What seems like death, what seems like loss is just the opposite. It is new life. Closing Prayer Father, as we journey with you, as we invite you to live within us and resonate through us, give us the courage to know whatever setback that we encounter is not something negative, but something that draws us closer into who you are, and who we are, and how we are to work together. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

The Power of the Resurrection (Mark chapter 16 verses 1 through 8)  Join Dallas and Carlos as they dive into the opening verses of Mark 16 to discuss the most significant event in history. They examine the devotion of the women who arrived at the tomb, the cultural weight of the Sabbath laws, and the profound implications of the empty tomb for every believer. This episode highlights the call for men to step into spiritual leadership and the beautiful grace shown in Peter's restoration. Listen as we discuss: - The faithfulness of Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome as they prepared to honor Jesus despite their grief. - A challenge to men to reject passivity and embrace the responsibilities God has given them in the home and the church. - The role of discipline and doing what is right, even when it is not immediately rewarding or convenient. - The theological necessity of the resurrection: proving Jesus is exactly who He said He was. - How the resurrection provides "newness of life," allowing the old self to die so we can rise as new creations. - The specific mention of Peter by the messenger signals God's heart to restore those who have turned away. - The historical authenticity of using women as the first witnesses in an ancient culture which adds credibility to the Gospel account. ========== 

Happy Holidays! Josh and Drusilla are celebrating with… The Passion of the Christ? Listen, it seemed like a good idea at the time. From wiki: “The Passion of the Christ is a 2004 American epic biblical drama film co-produced and directed by Mel Gibson from a screenplay he wrote with Benedict Fitzgerald. It stars Jim Caviezel as Jesus, Maia Morgenstern as his mother Mary, and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene. It depicts the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus, largely according to the canonical gospels as well as additional accounts such as the purported mystical visions by Anne Catherine Emmerich and the Friday of Sorrows.[3][4][5][6] “Also discussed: Hamnet, The Last Temptation of Christ, School in the Crosshairs, the career of Obayashi, Dust Bunny, and more. NEXT WEEK: The Eternal Daughter (2022)Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

In this episode, Ronn and Mike answer six questions sent in by listeners: 1) What is the best way to study the original authors, recipients, and cultures of the biblical world? 2) Does a DCW have any specific opinion on the issue of human free will? 3)  Why didn't Jesus condemn the adulterous woman in John 8? It seems mercy is the exception in how God handles sin in the Bible. 4) Ronn has said that Jesus' death did not accomplish anything which had not already been true before. How does that work with things like death and ritual impurity? 5) Does a Mormon worship the right god? 6) What caused Mary Magdalene to be possessed by seven demons?

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. Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Gospel of John Week 25 Scripture: John 19:25-20:19 Today's study will take us from the depths of hell to the heights of heaven! We start at verse 25 of John chapter 19 and it starts with who is at the foot of the cross: His mother, His aunt, His cousin (John the author of this gospel) and  another aunt who was the wife of His step-father's brother  - all family.  The disciples have all run except John and this group of women. Family.  Verse 28 we read, "Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." By saying this Jesus again fulfilled prophecy from Psalm 69:21 and from Psalm 22:15. But also let's remember what Jesus said in John 18:18 when He told Peter to put his sword away and said, "Will I not drink the cup my Father has given me?" And here we see Jesus drinking the cup because as verse 28 says, He knew that everything had now been finished. He took all the judgement of human sin upon Himself and then verse 30, "When He had received the drink, Jesus said, 'It is finished.' And with that He bowed His head and gave up His spirit." Pastor spends time digging into how the drink was given to Jesus and the correlation between the hyssop plant used at Passover and the hyssop plant used to give Jesus a drink. And we see …. God is in control. Our discussion turns to Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb - He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  Pastor talks about the Greek word for "finished" and its secondary meaning of an accountant's terminology for a debt "Paid in Full." Jesus paid in full for every sin, every rebellion against God, everything we have done and ever will do, all paid for in full by the Lord Jesus on the cross. Pastor shares interesting information about what was going on in the Temple at 3pm - the time of Jesus' death. What he shares emphasizes what Jesus had said earlier, "No one takes my life from me. I have the power to lay it down and the power to take it up again." And He chooses the exact time when He bows His head and gives up His spirit. It is Friday. The Passover went for 8 days. On the first day of the week, Sunday, following the first Sabbath of Passover (Saturday) the Jewish people celebrated the Festival of First Fruits. And this is the day - Sunday - that Jesus rises from the grave. Paul writes, "He (Jesus) is the first fruits of those who rise from the dead." Because Jesus rose, He is the guarantee that we will be raised when He returns! As we continue with the story of what John witnessed. A soldier goes to break Jesus' legs, but He's already dead so the soldier pierced Jesus' side with a spear. Pastor shares some medical information and the way the Roman spear was used to give a death blow - aimed right at the heart. Jesus not getting his legs broken and being pierced with a spear all fulfill prophecy and show God is in the details, He is in control, always has been and always is. Next Joseph of Arimathea - a Jesus follower, asks for Jesus' body. Nicodemus is with Joseph. He brings a mixture of myrrh and aloes, and the two of them wrapped Jesus body with the spices, in strips of linen as was the Jewish burial custom. In a garden there was a new tomb, it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. Pastor shares the possibility that we may know where Jesus was buried. The history surrounding the location and where it can be found today, sharing the information about the current church built on what may be the actual site of Jesus' tomb. We continue with John 20:1 with several women going to the tomb and finding the stone moved away from the entrance. Mary shares with several disciples and they discover the strips of linen lying there inside along with the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head. They leave the tomb with many questions. Mary Magdalene comes again to the empty tomb and is crying outside it and she looks in the tomb and there are two angels and then she meets a man she thinks is the gardener, and then recognizes Him as Jesus!  Jesus is alive! He is risen from the grave!  Jesus tells her to tell the others. She goes and tells the others the news, "I have seen the Lord!"

Many people have come to faith after reading only this book of the Bible.  Scholarly and archeological discoveries in recent decades give us new insight on details in the Gospel of John. We can now understand it as the most Jewish rather than the most "Gentile/Greek" of the Gospels, and when we do that we see many things that we missed before. Our 2 year study of the gospels is great for large group, small group or home group study and can be started at any time!

In this thought-provoking episode, Tony dives into the banned and excluded gospels—ancient texts that didn't make it into the Bible but continue to challenge how we understand early Christianity. Why were these writings left out? Who decided what was considered “truth”?Tony explores the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Gospel of Judas, unpacking what these texts reveal about spirituality, power, knowledge, and the early Church. From Mary Magdalene's suppressed voice, to Thomas's mystical sayings of Jesus, to Judas's controversial role as more than just a traitor—these gospels raise uncomfortable questions about authority, control, and the shaping of belief.This episode isn't about tearing down faith—it's about expanding the conversation. What happens when history, theology, and forbidden knowledge collide? And how might these lost teachings change the way we view Christianity today?

The Courage to Bury Jesus (Mark chapter 15 verses 42 through 47) Join Dallas and Carlos as they discuss the final moments surrounding Jesus's burial, focusing on Joseph of Arimathea's actions. They examine the strict Jewish preparations for the Sabbath and the critical importance of the Roman government's verification of Jesus's death. This episode highlights the courage of Joseph, a respected council member, who risked his standing to give Jesus a respectful burial, and the significance of the women who witnessed where he was laid. Listen as we discuss: -The preparation day before the Sabbath and the Jewish seriousness about not working. -Joseph of Arimathea's courageous act of asking Pilate for Jesus's body, risking political fallout from the Sanhedrin. -Pilate's surprise and the Roman verification of Jesus's death by the centurion, establishing the death's validity. -The theological importance of Rome verifying the death, adding weight to the gospel claim that Jesus died and rose again. -The parallel between Jesus's humble birth (wrapped in swaddling clothes/manger) and his burial in a borrowed tomb. -The spiritual impact of doing what God calls you to do, even when the fruit isn't immediately visible. -The role of Mary Magdalene and Mary, who followed the process and saw where Jesus was laid, providing verifiable eyewitness data. ==========

In this final episode of 2025, Meghan reflects on her four-year journey through second coming prophecy, symbolism, and the rediscovery of the Divine Feminine. What began as a study of last-days events has evolved into a deeper realization: Zion's redemption and the rise of the Divine Feminine are inseparable.Drawing from LDS canon, apocryphal texts like The Gospel of the Beloved Companion, ancient traditions, temple symbolism, and universal archetypes, Meghan shows how the feminine principles of intuition, relationship, heart-centered wisdom, and spiritual authority have always been woven into prophecy.She explores Mary Magdalene as “the tower,” Zion as the bride, the birthing symbolism of the new heaven and new earth, and the ways masculine and feminine partnership create the spiritual maturity required for Christ's return.This episode dives deep into: • the parable of the tower • the true meaning of Magdalene • the feminine role in death, rebirth, and the millennium • Zion as a feminine state of being • the partnership of masculine and feminine energies • global prophetic traditions pointing to feminine renewalA powerful close to the year and an invitation to reclaim the feminine in your own spiritual path.Timestamps00:00–02:00 | Closing the year and reflecting on the podcast journey 02:00–05:00 | Moving from prophecy study into the Divine Feminine 05:00–07:00 | Asking deep spiritual questions before you're ready 07:00–12:00 | Parable of the Tower and its prophetic meaning 12:00–15:00 | Magdalene as “the tower” and her true identity 15:00–18:30 | The tower as feminine presence and spiritual being 18:30–23:00 | Two feminine archetypes: virgin and fallen daughter 23:00–25:00 | Feminine principles as prerequisites for Zion 25:00–30:00 | Zion, Jerusalem, and the Bride symbolism 30:00–33:00 | Birthing the new heaven and new earth 33:00–39:00 | Isaiah's five birth metaphors 39:00–43:00 | Zion as unified heart and mind 43:00–50:00 | Global traditions confirming the feminine archetype 50:00–56:00 | How to rebuild the tower within ourselves 56:00–60:00 | Zion as a state of being and the return of Enoch 60:00–End | Closing reflection and blessing for the new year Thank you for listening to Hidden Wisdom!

Inspired by a dream, Prince Charles of Provence ordered an excavation that uncovered a sarcophagus believed to contain the remains of Mary Magdalene on 12th December, 1279.  The evidence presented included a papyrus note, a sweet rose fragrance filling the air, a wax-covered tablet proclaiming Mary's identity, and even a piece of skin where Jesus supposedly touched her after his resurrection.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly investigate how and why Mary may have ended up in France in the first place; recall the bout of ‘Magdalene mania' that gripped the mediaeval world; and explain why, for centuries, people said she was a sex worker…  Further Reading: • ‘How Early Church Leaders Downplayed Mary Magdalene's Influence' (HISTORY, 2019): https://www.history.com/news/mary-magdalene-jesus-wife-prostitute-saint • ‘The Skull and Bones of Mary Magdalene' (Atlas Obscura, 2013): https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/marys-house-in-provence • ‘Relics of St. Mary Magdalene in the Basilica of Saint-Maximin-la-Saint-Baume, France' (Pierre Repooc Productions, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO8MQzApXvE This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with theologian and author Meggan Watterson, whose books Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself have transformed the way countless people understand Christ, the Divine Feminine, and their own inherent worthiness. Meggan opens up about her own spiritual journey as a child, having profound experiences of divine love that her secular, feminist upbringing couldn't explain. She shares how her first encounter with the traditional New Testament literally made her break out in hives, a visceral reaction to the missing feminine essence she intuitively knew belonged there. We explore the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the Acts of Paul and Thecla, texts that were deliberately excluded from the Bible, and how they reveal a Christianity that was originally subversive, egalitarian, and empowering for women. Meggan explains how these texts teach us that heaven isn't a destination after death, but a state we can access now, in these very bodies. We get into the beautiful, practical concept of the "mind of the heart" or the "spiritual eye of the heart," the internal compass that guides us to our truth when the thinking mind fails. Meggan shares a simple, powerful "three breaths" practice that anyone can use to access this inner wisdom, even in the busiest moments of life. We explore:  How patriarchal erasure shaped our spiritual inheritance and why reclaiming feminine texts matters The radical teachings of the Gospel of Mary and why Jesus chose to reveal them to a woman Thecla's story and why her three days of silence mirror a modern spiritual awakening The difference between the inner critic and the authentic voice of the soul Why our worth is inherent, not earned How childhood wounds shape our patterns of choosing unavailable love The seven stages of spiritual transformation and how they unfold in real life What it means to embody divine love in the physical body How to access the mind of the heart and connect with the Beloved within The simple three-breath practice that anyone can use to return to their inner truth Remember to check out her latest book, The Girl Who Baptized Herself, a profound reimagining of Thecla's hidden gospel.You can also explore Mary Magdalene Revealed to discover the seven powers and the heart-centered teachings Jesus entrusted to Mary.
