Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Do you feel more drawn to organized religion, less drawn, or about the same? As Easter, Passover, and Ramadan converge, Michael explores whether America is experiencing a quiet return to organized faith—or continuing its long secular drift. New data shows declining religious affiliation overall, yet a surprising increase in Catholic and Orthodox conversions. What's driving this contradiction? From post-COVID isolation to technology's grip on daily life, Michael examines whether a hunger for community, structure, and human connection is pulling people back toward churches, synagogues, and mosques—and asks listeners where they stand.

1 Corinthians 14:20-4020 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. 21 In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? 24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, 25 as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.36 Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

Send us a text“Organized religion” seems to have a bad rep nowadays. It's associated with authoritarian hierarchies, dogmatic beliefs and rigid rules. Many of us instead want to identify ourselves as simply “spiritual”; we want to be people connected with some greater reality, some deeper truths and higher ideals, to something Divine, but without the confines of organized religion. Fair enough. And interestingly enough, in the Bible, the first heroes of faith—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, did not belong to some existing “religion,” and neither did Moses, at least at the start. It was from Moses onward that we have something that we'd now call “organized religion.” And the book Exodus recounts why the ancient Israelites needed it, and the reason may surprise us. Because today, we tend to only see one side of this idea, without understanding the other—the side that we'll begin to explore in this episode.Also: “GOD”? What's That?

On this episode of The Aluna Experience Podcast, I talk to Chad who shares the call to Ayahuasca being one not that you hear with an ear but one that you know and feel in the heart. Chad shares his experience growing up religious and how an inner curiosity invited him to explore other paths of understanding where he found yoga to be a doorway into a deeper connection to self. We discuss how fear of doing something— like stepping into a yoga class for the first time or sitting in ceremony, can often be more intimidating than the lived experience and how to recognize our individual power to manifest all aspects of our lives. He shares his intention to connect to his masculine in order to initiate his creative endeavors and how Ayahuasca supported him to recognize his ability to take aligned action and come into balance with his definition of his feminine and his masculine. alunahealingcenter.com@aluna_healing_centerbrianahata.com@bri.anahata 

Psilocybin is neurologically proven to unwire years of bad habits, enhancing focus, emotional control, and mental clarity. Society has intentionally hidden the truth about how this powerful compound can optimize your mind and body, but that changes now. In episode 847 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Adam Schell, a former cannabis industry insider who now dedicates his life to psilocybin. Adam shares his incredible story, from a life altering psychedelic experience to losing millions and rebuilding. He explains the real science behind how microdosing psilocybin improves brain function, helps manage trauma, and promotes spiritual growth. They discuss the difference between a microdose and a hero dose, who is a good candidate for each, and why these substances are far safer and more beneficial than alcohol. This conversation reveals how you can use this tool to improve your health and become a more effective human being.If you are ready to apply this same level of optimization to your physique, join Robert's FREE Bodybuilding Masterclass to learn the proven system for building muscle and achieving your fitness goals. https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Code "SAVAGE" to save 15% off Adam's Site BrainSupremeGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters:0:00 - Microdosing vs. Hero Dose: What's The Difference? 1:10 - The Philosophy of Building an Authentic Business 3:35 - How My First Psychedelic Trip Changed My Life Forever 6:00 - An Unforgettable Encounter With a Traumatized Veteran 8:29 - Why I Left The Cannabis Industry For Psychedelics 10:34 - The "Glorious Mutation" That Created Our Unique Strain 11:10 - A Beginner's Guide to Psilocybin Doses 13:20 - The Realistic Expectations for Microdosing 16:02 - Who Should Consider a "Heroic Dose" of Psychedelics? 18:04 - The Science of What Psilocybin Actually Does to Your Brain 19:54 - "Vertical" vs. "Horizontal" Psychedelics (Mushrooms vs. LSD/DMT) 22:12 - How a Hero Dose "Turns On The Lights" in Your Mind 24:39 - How Psychedelics Define My View of God & Religion 27:01 - Unlocking The "Ethereal Mycelium Network" 28:33 - Does Psychedelic Use Align with Organized Religion? 30:39 - Why I Can No Longer Support My "Home Team" 33:44 - I Lost $6.5 Million and Almost Got Myself Killed 36:10 - My Stance on Cannabis After Leaving The Industry 38:20 - My Book Deal Imploded, The Housing Crisis & Michael Jackson 41:45 - The Critical Difference Between Weed and Mushrooms 44:12 - The Downsides of Weed vs. Psilocybin 47:32 - Is It Possible to Get "Stuck" in a Bad Trip? 50:16 - Is Using Psychedelics for Growth "Cheating"? 53:04 - The Ancient & Mystical History of Psychedelics 55:25 - Why There Is a Stigma Against Psychedelics 58:05 - A Breakdown of Our Life-Optimizing Formulas 1:01:21 - How to Find Your Perfect Microdosing Protocol 1:05:33 - Does The Effect of Microdosing Wear Off? 1:08:32 - What Makes Our Brand Different From The Rest? 1:10:33 - Our Unrivaled Approach to Customer Service 1:14:24 - Where to Find More Information & A Discount Code

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price welcomes Mirabai Starr—acclaimed translator of the mystics, teacher of interspiritual wisdom, and luminous guide to the sacred woven through daily life. Together, they explore the heart of ordinary mysticism: discovering holiness not only in monasteries or mountaintops, but in the tender rhythms of our own existence. Mirabai opens her story with radical honesty—her countercultural Jewish upbringing, alternative education, and the teachers and traditions that shaped her. The conversation turns to how rigid ideas of “being spiritual” can keep us from true intimacy with the divine, and how humility, humor, and embodiment restore us to a living spirituality. Mirabai shares how the death of her teenage daughter became a devastating but sacred initiation, revealing grief as one of the deepest portals into divine love. Moving between ancient voices and her own life, Mirabai offers a mysticism that is fiercely tender, humble, embodied, and accessible to all. This dialogue invites us to see our own lives as sacred ground—woven with loss and beauty, pain and joy, shadow and wonder. Key Takeaways Mysticism is accessible in everyday life, not just in monasteries or religious settings. Rigid religious or cultural ideas of “spirituality” can block authentic spiritual experience. Embodiment and emotions—especially grief—are sacred entry points into deeper connection. Translating the mystics is less about history than entering a living dialogue across time. Friendship, humor, humility, and even money can be part of an integrated spiritual life.

What is the Power of Christ Consciousness? How can you feel it? How can you understand who Christ was? Was he here to die for our sins? Or was he here to manipulate karma? This is a very different  view of Christ, who he was and why he was here. Understanding Jesus Christ can help us to have a better understanding of who this great being was and how grateful we all are to have had him in our world.

Influencers within this space face unique challenges as they balance personal beliefs with the expectations of a global audience. The decisions made by key figures to step away from or redefine their roles within the community underscore the complexities of maintaining authenticity in a highly visible environment. These narratives not only reflect individual journeys but also serve as a microcosm of broader societal shifts in how faith is practiced and perceived. By engaging with these stories, audiences are invited to consider the multifaceted relationship between religion and technology, and the ways in which digital platforms can both challenge and enrich spiritual experiences.⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️:00:00:00 - Introduction to TikTok and Church Experiences00:01:48 - Shakeup in the LDS YouTube Sphere00:03:39 - Decisions and Supportive Comments on YouTube00:05:24 - Social Media Influence and Anti-Mormon Content00:07:14 - Critique of Organized Religion and Social Issues00:09:05 - Family Dynamics and Trauma Discussion00:10:48 - Coping Mechanisms and Personal Decisions00:12:21 - Exploring Gospel Nile Tour and Cultural Insights00:14:12 - YouTube Channel Deletions and Subscriber Issues00:16:03 - Public Figures and Church Excommunications00:17:52 - Harassment Concerns and Spiritual Reflections00:19:52 - Historical Disagreements and Censorship Issues00:21:49 - YouTube World Shakeups and New Channels00:23:32 - Women Ward Radio and Channel Changes00:25:21 - Final Thoughts on YouTube and Community ImpactTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Order Jonah's Book, "The Key to the Keystone" visit the following link and use coupon Code: WARDRADIO https://tinyurl.com/Key-to-the-KeystoneFor 10% off Plain and Precious Publishing Books, visit plainandpreciouspublishing.com and use Coupon Code: WARDRADIOFor a 5% discount on Go and Do Travel, visit goanddotravel.com and use the promo code WARDRADIO5For a copy of Brad Witbeck's Novel, "Dragon Thief" Book, visit: https://a.co/d/7QzqsZNJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.com#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckTo support the channel:Venmo @WardRadio or visit: https://account.venmo.com/u/MidnightMormonsPaypal: paypal.me/@midnightmedia Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareCashApp: $WardRadioFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide

The leaders of organized religions are people I call “Mystics”.  They stared at Babel, and have spread to every corner of the world, amassing power and influence by guarding access to their secrets.  In the secular world, they exist in secret societies that influence governments.  Or as members or hereditary priesthood and “royal bloodlines” that consolidate and hoard power from the people. But they are also found in “Christian” churches! So how do “Christian” mystics amass power and influence when we all have access to the Word of God?  They claim that the information God has revealed to man is incomplete!  There is a secret treasure trove of juicy knowledge that God has only given to his super special elite followers.  And of course, God made them the holy, anointed guardians of this knowledge.  So if you want to know the real, honest-to-goodness, full and complete truth of God, you must submit to their authority and only believe what they say about God! We will discuss the origin of the Mystics in this week's podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

The Mother of Harlots is the title given to the original false religion which started at Babel (Babylon), and gave birth to all the false religions around the world.  But in a denotative sense, the physical Mother of Harlots was the Queen of Babel – the mother/wife of Nimrod, known as Semiramis.Through her deceit, manipulation, deception, and lust for power, she created the first organized spiritual opposition to God's plan (religion), but corrupting the Gospel narrative, and inserting herself and her family in the place of the Holy Trinity!  When God judged Babel and scattered the population, each group took a version of that first organized religion and adapted it to their, resulting in the various ancient religions.Who was Semiramis, and how did she create organized religion?  We'll talk about it on this week's podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

Are all religions the same?  Many people think so.  And it's almost understandable when you look at the fact that most religions share the same themes of “god(s)”, creation narratives, the fall and redemption of man, supernatural intervention, and apocalyptic judgment.  Some of them even feature a “virgin birth”, and the death of a “god” in order to save mankind.  Furthermore, many of these various religious texts predate the Bible by hundreds of years.  So is the Bible just a collection of older religious beliefs complied by the ancient Jews as many secularists believe?Absolutely not!  The Bible is unique in many ways that we've discussed previously.  Furthermore, God's plan was known by men LONG before any other religion was established.  In fact, I would argue that all other religions are corruptions of God's plan.Where and how did God first reveal his plan to mankind?  We'll explore that question on this week's podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

Why people call religion organized?Depending on where you go, a spiritual leader will lead you to feel something — it could be fire and brimstone fear or insincere feelings of piety — all the while avoiding the hard questions and truths that gnaw on your soul.As an evangelical pastor's son, Aaron Abke knew that organized world all too well and tried to live that prescribed life for a very short time as a pastor of his own church, until he left it all behind at the ripe old age of 23 because he stopped believing in what he was preaching. Aaron shares a spiritual journey that took him from the fundamentalist pulpit to Ra and the Law of One and all the answers he was looking for this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about Aaron and his work at his website and 4D University.

Episode 185: Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss a paradox in America — that even as formal religious participation declines, belief in the supernatural remains remarkably strong. According to data from the Pew Research Center, 86% of Americans believe in the existence of a soul or spirit, 83% believe in God or a universal spirit and 70% believe in an afterlife. These findings suggest that while fewer people identify with organized religion, the human need for spiritual and supernatural explanations persists. "It seems to go deep in human nature," Kyte said. "Human beings want answers to why questions like, 'Why am I here? What's the purpose of my life?'" Kyte explained that while science has provided explanations for many of the "how" questions, religion continues to play a role in addressing the deeper "why" questions that science cannot fully answer. This desire for meaning and purpose beyond the physical world appears to be a fundamental part of the human experience. The discussion also explored the role of religion in providing community, support and a sense of purpose, particularly during difficult times. Kyte emphasized the importance of religious practices and rituals in helping individuals develop the habits and disciplines necessary for a "meaningful life." About the hosts Scott Rada is a digital strategist with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is also the author of "Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way)."

How has organized religion changed since we were kids? And how do those shifts impact its role in family life and society as a whole? To help us unpack all of this is Pastor Scott Chrostek. Rev. Scott Chrostek is the Executive Pastor of Ministries and Programs at Resurrection, a United Methodist Church with six locations in the Kansas City area. We discuss the difference between faith and religion, statistical trends of organized religion and why people have left over the past decade, and what needs to change for these groups to continue to exist.  Meet Scott Chrostek Rev. Scott Chrostek is the Executive Pastor of Ministries and Programs at Resurrection, a United Methodist Church with six locations in the Kansas City area.  Before taking on this churchwide leadership role, Scott was responsible for launching the Downtown location in December of 2009 which grew from 9 individuals to over 1000 adults in weekly worship attendance. Resurrection Downtown began as a mobile start-up, and grew to include two sites: one a former bar and concert venue located between a tattoo parlor and strip club and two a city block that gave rise to the first new church building in downtown KC in over 80 years. It continues to grow today as one of the few downtown United Methodist churches growing in an urban area across the country.   Scott is married to Rev. Wendy Lyons Chrostek, his wife of 19 years and together they have served in ministry in North Carolina, Michigan, Kansas and Missouri.  They are the proud parents of two kids.
