John Mark Comer and the Mystical Union Error - A Critique of Practicing the Way, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. Is being "in Christ" the same as panentheism? Bob DeWaay explains that union with God is legal, not ontological. Believers are declared righteous through faith, not merged with God's essence. We also critique Comer's view of union with the Trinity. (duration 00:23:20) Click here to play

What if your spiritual journey isn’t about becoming—but remembering who you’ve always been in Christ? In this luminous episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Dr. Steve McVey, author of Beyond the Veil: My Mystical Journey with Saints and Sages, unveils how love, grace, and divine union rewrite the story of separation and fear. In this fictional work full of Truth, Steve explores profound conversations with voices of wisdom—Christian saints, early theologians, philosophers, even mystics outside the faith tradition—revealing how truth, wherever found, ultimately points back to Christ. Together, Steve and Catherine dive deep into: * The illusion of distance and the revelation that heaven is here and now
 * Remembering our soul’s eternal identity and walking in the Spirit * The “Cosmic Christ” as Lord of all creation—seen and unseen
 * How divine Love is the last and final word This episode will stretch your mind, ignite your heart, and comfort your soul. It’s an invitation to trust that Love Himself is big enough to guide, heal, and hold you—no matter where you are on the journey. “You aren’t defined by your theology or your failures—you’re defined by My love.” – Jesus, Beyond the Veil Experience the grace that dismantles fear and awakens you to the union you already share with the Father, Son, and Spirit. * Key Scriptures: John 17:21–23, Acts 17:28, Colossians 1:16–17, 1 John 4:18 Contact Steve: Facebook: @Steve McVey Instagram: @stevemcvey Twitter: @drstevemcvey stevemcvey.com info@gracewalk.org “Beyond the Veil” available on Amazon If this blessed you: • Subscribe for more conversations on God’s love, identity in Christ, and inner healing • Share this with a friend who needs hope today • Explore Catherine’s resources & community for next-step support Exhausted and worn out?

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

We began reading together 'The Myth of the Flesh' and discussed at length the pleasures of Jesus' cross! "You were united with Him in His death. What died? The entire fallen personality. Your old depressed self. Your old sinful self. The old fearful you was buried. The old anxious, unbelieving you took a bullet. Your poverty died with Him. Your sickness died with Him. Every bit of darkness and disease died with Him. All your acne and PMS and road rage took a tumble. Your old religiously sober self was also crucified.The new you is happy, alive and full of the wine of His love! The new you is full of faith. The new, True Self is prosperous, bold and overflowing with life, hope, peace and fruitfulness.

In this episode, I respond to comments made by Fr. Mike Schmitz on Magisterial Authority and Sola Scriptura.

This episode is the fourth in our series on the mystical union. Here, I give an overview of the medieval mystical book which influenced Luther, titled the Theologia Germanica.

This is the third episode in our series on the mystical union. In this program, I finish the discussion of David Hollaz's treatment of the subject.

In this thought-provoking episode, Father Michael Trummer, Mary Bielski, and Father Christopher, delves into the profound concept of having a spousal relationship with God. Addressing the deeply rooted theological and spiritual aspects of this topic, they discuss the importance of understanding God not just as a friend or father, but as a spouse. The conversation highlights significant scripture passages, the fruits of spousal intimacy, and personal experiences that illustrate how this relationship can transform one's faith journey. Whether you're a priest, a layperson, or someone seeking deeper intimacy with God, this podcast offers valuable insights and reflections. Tune in to explore the rich theology and practical implications of being in a spousal union with God.   00:00 Introduction and Podcast Setup 00:35 Understanding Spousal Relationship with God 02:29 Personal Experiences and Perspectives 05:49 Theological Foundations and Scriptural Insights 28:36 Priestly Identity and Role 31:34 The Wedding at Cana and Eucharistic Union 36:55 The Mystical Union with God 37:58 Jesus' Sacrifice and Mercy 38:31 The Last Supper and the Cross 40:59 The Sacred Heart and Total Emptiness 41:59 Desire and Intimacy with God 42:46 Saints' Expressions of Divine Love 45:08 Spousal Relationship with God 45:51 The Song of Songs and Human Love 46:28 Eros and Agape in Christianity 47:45 God's Delight in Us 48:27 The Importance of Intimacy with God 59:47 Living in God's Love 01:00:24 Invitation to Spousal Intimacy 01:11:20 Prayer and Closing Reflections

This episode is the second in a series on the mystical union, in which I continue discussing David Hollaz's treatment of the subject.

This is the first episode in a series on the Mystical Union. In this episode, I begin a discussion of the Lutheran orthodox theologian David Hollaz's take on the subject.

A few weeks ago, Teddy James visited Granbury, Texas, to meet with Dr. Stephen Yuille. Dr. Yuille is Professor of Church History and Spiritual Formation in the School of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastor of Fairview Covenant Church. The Media Gratiae team was introduced to Dr. Yuille through several of his books including The Blessed and Boundless God and The Inner Sanctum of Puritan Piety: John Flavel's Doctrine of Mysical Union with Christ. Both of these books we wholeheartedly recommend to you. Teddy's visit wasn't just to spend time in one of the most welcoming little towns he has ever seen. It was to film a new study for Media Gratiae, taught by Dr. Yuille, on the book of Galatians. You can expect to hear more about that study in the coming months. But this week we wanted to give you a chance to meet Dr. Yuille and hear a bit of his heart for Christ and His bride, the church. We pray this episode will be a blessing to you, but also give you fuel to pray for us and Dr. Yuille as we continue serving in the ways and means God has given us to further His kingdom and train the church.

There is a measure of union that is inaccessible until we surrender to the mystical aspects of what union looks like. Devotion still has a semblance of being dependent on ourselves. This mystical life of union reminds us that it's not about works, but about His radical goodness and the fact that I am beloved!   Special Teaching Session/The Homestead Mobile - February 13th, 2024

This week we continue our series on Christian female mystics with a look at St. Catherine of Siena. St. Catherine is an incredibly complex figure, who at once represents the Christian feminine ideal of the Virgin, while also defining her mystical "marriage" in rather shockingly embodied terms. We also look at the way in which she uses fasting as a way of maintaining her own personal sovereignty, and the surprising political and religious power that she wielded as a member of the religious laity.
