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.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for March 24, 2024 1 John 5 The Truth Revealed: Believers' Mystical Union with Jesus Christ

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.

Our union with Christ, having become one with Trinity, is a truth that was established before the foundation of the world and walked out in the seen realm as Christ became human in the flesh, while still divine. There is so much mystery here, and as we start to see this revelation it changes EVERYTHING. Christ truly is all in all!

We are back in the book, Free to Be: A Handbook to Luther's Small Catechism. Season 3, episode 2 discusses:1. The communal nature of the Lord's Supper. This holy meal not only strengthens our faith but unites us as a family. Jesus meets us with forgiveness and family fellowship. 2. The hunger for revival as expressed in the Asbury Revival. And what it may reveal about our longing for the nearness of God. That in which the Lord's Supper also satisfies. 3. The 1500+ year teaching of the Mystical Union of the Lord's Supper that the majority of Christians hold. We listen to the song, That Long from the EP, Christ For You.  Which further builds that case. Enjoy!

Duality is not always perfect 50% of each. I have found that because of the extreme of masculine energy in the world today, in my own life I need more Divine Feminine to balance that which is outside of me. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spiral-of-the-year/message

When we allow for duality to be a part of the whole the aspect of the thing in entirety becomes valuable.

There's one final question to ask when examining Maimonides mysticism and that is, did Maimonides believe that the human could actually reach, know and experience God? Getting down to the fine print in the debate about Maimonides mysticism: Did Maimonides believe that one could know and unite with something metaphysical? And if so, which metaphysical entity does he believe the aspiring seeker can know and unite with, is it an entity which can be considered divine, God, or ultimate reality, making this union properly mystical in nature, a unio mystica? Can one, according to Maimonides, unite with God or only with the Active Intellect? And if it's the later, does he believe that the Active Intellect is divine, and if so in what way, and what does that mean for his mysticism?

Jesus didn't just die so that we can go to heaven when we die, though that is apart of it, but he laid down his life and resurrected and released holy spirit so that we can experience heaven on earth now and so that we can let others know that he came to undo the works of the devil and to reconcile us all to himself!Neo destroys the agent: The Matrix Revolutions Movie CLIP There is no spoon scene: THE MATRIX: THERE IS NO SPOON - YouTubeIf you like the music in this episode please check out Allie Paige.com or listen to her on SpotifyConnect & Contact with Audrey and Eat Me Drink Me community Website: www.eatmedrinkmepodcast.netDiscord: https://discord.gg/JkRCXDS3Cg Email: eatmedrinkmepod@gmail.comDonate to help support Audrey's work Paypal: www.paypal.com/paypalme/emdmpodcast Become a Patreon: www.patreon.com/emdmpodcastSupport the show

In Episode 108, we dive deeper into the topic of union with Christ; what it means, how it was developed in the Bible and how it can apply radical identity changes to the members of your church group. This is theologically, one of the most central and most important of all doctrines, that include three types of union with Christ: Moral, Legal and Mystical.Of all the things you could discuss with your loved ones, church group, pastor, women's or men's ministry, the doctrine of union with Christ and what it means is probably the most powerful and life-changing. And in the next episode, we're going to follow up on another topic which is the Riches of Divine Grace. Tune in now and let's go bigger, better, and deeper! If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to the God Stuff Podcast so you're always first to know when a new episode is released. Episode Timestamps: Intro – [00:00] "Who Am I with Christ?" – [03:33] The Three Types of Union with Jesus Christ – [08:03]Legal Union – [08:40]Mystical Union – [12:58] Moral Union – [18:28]Outro – [21:57]Biblical References:Romans 8:1Romans 8:39Isaiah 61:10Philippians 3:9 KJV1 Corinthians 1:30, 31Colossians 1:27Galatians 2:202 Corinthians 13:5Romans 8:29Ephesians 4:1Ephesians 3:8Book References:Alpha Christians: A Manifesto for Menhttps://www.amazon.com./s?k=9781946654304&i=stripbooks&linkCode=qsAbout Our Host:Bill Giovannetti is the Senior Pastor at Pathway Church, Redding, California — an experienced senior pastor with a demonstrated history of working in the religious institutions industry.

She ran away from home as a child. She saw visions of where she would go in Hell if she didn't become a saint, and she was known to float in the air while praying. She was the first woman to be named a Doctor of the Church. Who is she? Find out more on "Heroes of the Faith" where we are inspired by the lives of the saints, so that we can become saints ourselves!
