In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, philosopher Jerry L. Martin is joined by Abigail L. Rosenthal on his podcast God An Autobiography for an intimate conversation about divine encounters, spiritual awakening, and what it means to experience a radically personal God. Drawing from Jerry's new book Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the discussion explores how spiritual truth is not one-size-fits-all and why each individual's connection to the divine can look entirely unique.Jerry reflects on being called to tell God's story across different cultures and religious traditions, while Abigail shares a powerful mystical experience that sustained her through a long and painful chapter in her life. Together, they discuss Jewish philosophy, personal spirituality, the rejection of Original Sin, and how trusting one's inner spiritual compass can lead to deep transformation.This episode speaks directly to seekers, skeptics, and anyone exploring their own spiritual path. It is a thoughtful and emotional journey into faith and doubt, divine presence, mystical experience, and the call to live with spiritual purpose.Explore more about Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Get Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Abigail L.

In an age of disconnection, distraction, and curated spiritualities, what we're truly longing for is not just community—but communion with the living God.This Trinity Sunday sermon reflects on the deep human desire to be known, to matter, and to belong—and the scandalous Christian claim that God has not left us to find our way alone. Through the gift of the Spirit, God has come close. He has made Himself known—not as an idea or a distant power, but as a personal presence who loves, speaks, and saves.

It's Friday, May 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims killed 23 farmers and fishermen On May 15th, armed fighters from a terrorist group, called the Islamic State West Africa Province, killed 23 farmers and fishermen in Nigeria's Borno State, reports International Christian Concern. The victims, mostly bean farmers from Gwoza, had traveled to the area to work on land under insurgent control. Eighteen other people were abducted during the attack, and their whereabouts remain unknown. More German youth believe in personal God than their elders The Youth in Germany study shows that 31% of 14 to 29-year-olds believe in a personal God, compared to 25% of 30 to 49-year-olds, and 24% of 50 to 69-year-olds, reports Evangelical Focus. 2 Israeli Embassy officials murdered in Washington, D.C. Two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. — a young couple on the verge of becoming engaged — were fatally shot Wednesday evening at 9:15pm while leaving a Young Diplomats Reception on humanitarian aid, hosted by the American Jewish Committee at the Capital Jewish Museum. Paige Siegel was an attendee that night. SIEGEL: “The event ends around nine o'clock, and at 9:07 I hear a first batch of gunshots go off, like, right outside. And this was an event that you had to register in advance for. You had to check in with your ID. You had to get wanded. There was security. The first round of gunshots go off. And I was like, those were gunshots.” Elias Rodriguez, age 31, of Chicago shouted “Free Palestine” as he was led away after his arrest, according to charging documents. According to the New York Post, Rodriguez posted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” as well as praise for the health care CEO killer Luigi Mangione. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the tragedy. NETANYAHU: “Yaron had just bought an engagement ring for Sarah. He was planning to give it to her in Jerusalem next week. They were planning to start a new and happy life together. Well, that tragically did not happen. “Yaron and Sarah weren't the victims of a random crime. The terrorist who cruelly gunned them down did so for one reason and one reason alone. He wanted to kill Jews. And as he was taken away, he chanted, ‘Free, Palestine!' This is exactly the same chant we heard on October 7th. “On that day, thousands of terrorists stormed into Israel from Gaza. They beheaded men, they raped women, they burned babies alive, they butchered 1,200 innocent people, and took 251 innocent people hostage to the dungeons of Gaza. “A short time afterwards, Chancellor [Olaf] Scholz of Germany visited Israel, and after he saw the horrors, he said to me, ‘These Hamas terrorists are exactly like the Nazis!' He was right.” Yaron was not only eager to propose to Sarah next week, but was excited to return to Israel to be with his family for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Ron Prosor, a teacher at Israel's Reichman University, described Yaron this way. “He was a Christian, a true lover of Israel, served in the [Israel Defense Forces], and chose to dedicate his life to the State of Israel and the Zionist cause.” Siegel, one of the young Israelis at the event, expressed anxiety. SIEGEL: “I don't know how, how Jewish people can be protected in America right now. I mean, this is just crazy. There were security guards all over the building. What else can we do to protect ourselves?” Jeanine Pirro, the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said, “Violence against anyone based on their religion is an act of cowardice. It is not an act of a hero. Antisemitism will not be tolerated, especially in the nation's capital.” Department of Government Efficiency saved $170 billion The Department of Government Efficiency has saved the American people $170 billion by cutting waste, abuse, and fraud. That's a savings per taxpayer of $1,055.90. House DEFUNDED Planned Parenthood by a single vote And finally, just before 7:00am on Thursday, May 22nd, the House passed the budget bill with a 10-year ban on funding Planned Parenthood, 215-214, with one member voting present. Now this bill heads to the Senate, reports LifeNews.com. In light of the fact that Planned Parenthood killed 402,230 baby boys and girls last year with $792 million of taxpayer money, that's extraordinary! Leading up to that vote, the U.S. House Rules Committee convened a hearing, working tirelessly to finish negotiations on amendments to the budget bill. This hearing continued for more than 21 hours straight! High-ranking Democrats, who were not even on the committee, were paraded through the committee hearing, one by one, to propose amendments to the funding bill. Some of these members included Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat House Whip Katherine Clark, and even former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. One of the top issues Democrats pressed for hours was increasing welfare with no work requirements — and continued funding for Planned Parenthood, reports Liberty Council Action. Minority Leader Jeffries claimed that this was “the largest cut to health care in American history.” Newsflash — killing children is not “health care.” Isaiah 59:7 describes the Democrats' perspective on life in the womb to a “t.” “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” This passage of the bill in the House is a huge victory! We must keep up the intensity to pass this bill in the Senate. Call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 today. This battle to defund Planned Parenthood has been lost previously in the Senate or in reconciliation the House and Senate versions afterwards. Sadly, the Senate has strong advocates for Planned Parenthood. On May 22nd, House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed, “We're going to get it [to Trump's desk] by Independence Day, July 4th!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, May 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2025.

What can Jesus' encounter with Peter teach us about dealing with doubts about creation? Discover how a personal and intentional approach, rooted in Christ's example, can help strengthen belief even in the face of skepticism.
Bishop Mitchell Corder shows us scriptures that reveal the multifaceted nature of God as Creator, Restorer, and Personal God.As Elohim, He is the all-powerful Creator who brought the universe into existence out of nothing (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:3), and the Restorer who transformed the formless and empty earth into a place of beauty and order (Genesis 1:2).As Yahweh, God reveals His personal and eternal nature, declaring Himself as “I AM” to Moses (Exodus 3:14-15). This name signifies His unchanging presence and intimate relationship with His people. Yahweh is compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love and faithfulness, forgiving wickedness and sustaining love for generations (Exodus 34:6-7).Together, these aspects portray a God who is both transcendent and personal, powerful yet intimately involved in His creation.

The basis of a true Religion is:Honesty:Honesty, regardless what matter it is. The Great Saint Ramakrishna (the Gospel of Ramakrishna), who became famous through his love to the Lord said: he never can sacrifice his honesty, regardless what. Or Ramakrishna said: when he sees a totally honest person he knows that this is his last life. The Hindu and Buddhist Religion are wrong because we should not hurt people with the truth or tell the trues about the fake Gurus! Gandhi said: You can not hurt me without that I have given you the permission. We are blind to our own errors and shortcomings. Only, when somebody is pointing out that we are wrong we can comprehend. Or remember the story of the King without cloth, when a child said the king has no clothing on, the king realized that he was naked. Quotes: One honest word is more than 1000 flatter words. Honesty hurts (it should be). Health:In a healthy body is also a healthy soul! For the Sufis is the body the temple of God. For the Taoist are health and longevity a must! If we get ill then there is a reason for that. It might be an unhealthy lifestyle or suppressed negative feelings. In any case, we should know why we live an unhealthy lifestyle or why we suppress our negative feelings and which feelings we have suppressed in which situation. Read my book: Heal yourself and stay healthy. Live your sex:The Sufis are saying that sex is divine and similar is it to the Taoists. We should live our sex otherwise suppressed sex leads to diseases or perversions. Monks and nuns have double so much prostate cancer and breast cancer than worldly people. If our sex life is too exhausting we should reduce our sex. Because too much and too less sex harms our body. Personal God relationship:We should develop a personal God relationship and have total faith in God. If we do so our life will be much easier and we can develop our spirituality much faster.Awareness:Awareness of our feelings, thoughts and of the changes in the world is necessary to live a religious life. Aristotle: (Ignorantia Juris non excusat) Ignorance does not protect one from punishment. Love and compassion: Love and compassion are the highest goods in the world. Love is the sum of our good habits (Tao) and should be based on honesty and health! Never give blind faith to anybody. No religious or worldly leader should be idealized, rather more checked again and again, for his honesty. Ramakrishna said: please check me like counterfeit money. Osho said You are responsible for your life and for your decisions. Blind faith will never help you! You should be the driver of your life and be aware what you are doing. Don't give blind faith to me or anybody else!No corruption… Every income and every spending should be taxed. The government should check, tax and regulate every temple, monastery, church, and mosque, to make sure that never corruption will happen again. Every misuse or corruption should be punished with the highest penalty. Because people have donated selflessly their hard earned money to the religious organizations, to help the poor and needy people, money for catastrophes, and the Religions have misused their money. For instance, the Thai Military government checks for corruption every temple. And every temple has to pay tax on their income so that the government has to check the income of the temples. Every Religion should do so.No Politics of Religion.The Religions should only teach religion, help the poor and needy people and don't make politics!

Luke 11:1; Matthew 6:9-13 How comfortable are you praying? In private? In public? - Definition of Prayer: Prayer is communication between God our heavenly Father with one or more of His children. All communication involves both talking and listening. - “It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught His disciples. Luke 11:1 - Pray then in this way: Matthew 6:9-13 - Our Heavenly Father is a Personal God. “Our Father who is in heaven” - Our Heavenly Father is a Praiseworthy God. “Hallowed be Your name.” - Our Heavenly Father is a Purposeful God. “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” - Our Heavenly Father is a Providing God. “Give us this day our daily bread.” - Our Heavenly Father is a Pardoning God. “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” - Our Heavenly Father is a Protecting God. “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” - Our Heavenly Father is the ALL Powerful God. “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” - I challenge you to join me in praying this prayer every day for the month of September. 30 day prayer challenge.

Chapter 1 The Holy Spirit: The Infinite, Personal GodStill, what errors and heresies have crept into the church in the last two thousand years in relation to the Holy Spirit! How diligent we must thus be in studying and knowing about the person and work of the third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. Pg. 2“The Holy Spirit is a Person” Pg. 3The Spirit may be heat and influence and power and communication, but before He is any of them, He is a person. He is as much a divine person as is God the Father or Jesus the Son. The Spirit may be heat and influence and power and communication, but before He is any of them, He is a person. He is as much a divine person as is God the Father or Jesus the Son1. The Scriptures use personal pronouns in referring to the Holy Spirit. (Acts 13:2, John 15:26, John 16:13-14)2. The Scriptures ascribe personal traits to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit can be lied to, Peter says in Acts 5:3.3. The Scriptures ascribe personal tasks to the Spirit. Scripture says the Spirit has the power of speech; (1 Tim 4:1, Rev 2:7, John 14:26, Luke 12:12)4. The Scriptures ascribe personal characteristics to the Spirit. On four recorded occasions, Jesus refers to the Spirit as the “paraclete.” The word is derived from the prefix para and the root kalein. Together they mean “one who is called alongside.”“So the Holy Spirit is a person; He is not an influence or quality or force or power or some emanation from God. He is as much a person as Jesus, but like the angels and the Father, the Holy Spirit does not possess a body.”THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD Pg. 61. The Holy Spirit is expressly called God. In Acts 5:3–42. The Holy Spirit is the author of Old Testament verses spoken by Jehovah. (Acts 28:25, Is 6:9, 2 Peter1:21)3. The Holy Spirit displays all the perfections of God. The Holy Spirit is omniscient; He knows everything.(1 Cor 2:10-11)4.

The Holy Spirit by Geoff Thomas Chapter 1 The Holy Spirit: The Infinite, Personal God“Many people today are ignorant about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, both theologically and experientially” Pg. 2Prompt: Respond to Thomas' assertion here. Do you sense this is accurate of the church today? Why have a conference dedicated to the Holy Spirit?“We know that the Son of God became incarnate, died on the cross, rose from the grave, and ascended to the throne of heaven so that He might pour out His Spirit at Pentecost and continue pouring Him out on the church everywhere. Without the gift of the Holy Spirit, the earlier accomplishments of the Savior would not have profited us.” Pg. 2Prompt: How is the work of the Holy Spirit connected to the Gospel? Why is the gift of the Holy Spirit necessary to each and every Christian? The essential, vital, central element in the life of every congregation is the person and work of the Spirit of God as illuminated and structured and judged by the Spirit-breathed Word. Pg. 2Prompt: Discuss the practical application of this in the life of the local church. Where and why is the Spirit's work “essential, vital, and the central element for the church”?There is no good in any of us that is not a result of the Spirit's work. Every virtue we possess, every victory we win, and every thought of holiness are due to the Spirit. Whatever God calls us to do in life can be accomplished only by the Holy Spirit. Pg. 2Prompt: Is Thomas overstating our dependency on the Holy Spirit? Is there biblical evidence for these claims?What verse come to mind?

Homily from the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. God wants to spend time with you. The Mystery of the Holy Trinity is the Mystery of God's identity. The tri-Personal God is more than an abstract concept, yet the Trinity can often remain in our minds as a vague "idea". And yet, in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God has claimed us, brought us into a new relationship with Him, and made us a new creation. Mass Readings from May 26, 2024: Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40 Psalms 33:4-6, 9, 18-20, 22Romans 8:14-17 Matthew 28:16-20

Welcome to another insightful episode of From God To Jerry To You, a spiritual journey through the lens of a philosopher's mind, as we contemplate the intricate relationship between love and personhood. Join Dr. Jerry L. Martin as he poses the profound question: Does God truly love us?Jerry's philosophical expertise and personal encounters with the divine shine a light on the essential qualities of love, personhood, and the divine nature. From exploring the intricate philosophy of love to examining the nature of personhood and God's intimate connection with humanity, this episode offers insightful reflections on the divine-human relationship.In an age where traditional theological views often portray God as remote and unknowable, this episode offers a fresh perspective. To experience love from God, one must consider God not merely as an ineffable force but as a personal being capable of consciousness, awareness, and empathy. Join us as we challenge traditional theological views, reinterpret fundamental concepts like 'God is Love,' and uncover the implications of theomorphic likeness.Engage with God and high theology as we reflect on divinity, consciousness, and human empathy in thought-provoking new ways, with an illuminating dialogue that promises to transform your understanding of the divine.God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher, is written by Dr. Jerry L.

Pastor Luke's message, from Exodus 3-4, was about Moses' interaction with our God who personally reveals His plans, His name, and His power. God equips people to accomplish His will in His name.
Taking a cue from David in Psalm 139, this Sunday we learned about what it really means to serve an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God. He knows us intimately, is always with us—seeing everything we go through, and is more than powerful enough to overcome any adversary. So... how does that mold our lives?

If God is the Creator of light, then it stands to reason that He is greater than light. And if He is greater than light, then His experience of time is different than ours, since time is relative to the speed of light. In this episode, Justin Hibbard continues the series on the Nature of God by exploring the metaphysics of God and how this affects God being personal to us.

* Jesus: Fully God and fully man so fully free! Was Jesus able to sin? Of course. Otherwise, He could not be fully man, and He could not be tempted, and His righteousness would not be praiseworthy, and He could not love, because love must be freely given. But He became fully man, and He was tempted, and He is praiseworthy, and He does love. So, the answer is, yes. Bob continues broadcasting the cross examination of Will Duffy during the recent debate Is Open Theism Biblical, and notes that when a Calvinist challenges open theist testimony from Scripture by asking if it would contradict God being "impassible, impeccable, and immutable", one could hear district attorney Hamilton Burger objecting as he did in a 1960s courtroom drama, that this line of questioning was "incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial." For not the "living God" but a stone idol is impassible, impeccable, and immutable. Also, consider that folks have a difficulty discerning between time and the measurement of time. So too many have difficulty comprehending the difference bewteen the future as a concept and a moment in the future. The concept of the future doesn't change but what may or may not happen in any particular moment in the future is open. So too with truth. The concept of truth doesn't change, whereas whether a particular statement is true or false (like, "breakfast is served") of course can change. Open theists though frequently encounter these kinds of easily avoided misconceptions. * Incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial; impassible, impeccable, and immutable: When a Calvinist challenges open theist testimony from Scripture by asking if it would contradict God being "impassible, impeccable, and immutable", one could hear district attorney Hamilton Burger objecting as he did in a 1960s courtroom drama, that this line of questioning was "incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial."

(Filmed in Indianapolis) Another fantastic BEL seminar, this time, on the topic of Open Theism, answering the question, is the future settled or open? The Open View teaches that God can change the future. He interacts with the flow of history and changes the outcome of the future as it unfolds by His decisions and actions. * Recovering the Personal God: A BEL goal over the last 28 years has been to recover the personal God. Personhood is not only the right to life of every unborn child because those kids are made in God's likeness, but primarily and through eternity past, God Himself is a personal God, the one God existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yet classical theology has turned God into more of a quantitative mathematical equation. We broadcast in part to correct all that!
* Straight Hillary: Actually, it's the etcetera that covers most of today's program. We begin with Hillary Clinton's announcement on the Howard Stern show that she is NOT a lesbian. Really. "Raise your right hand," as the pervert host said to her. But then we move on to airing something of eternal significance. * Duffy, Debate, and Recovering the Personal God: A BEL goal over the last 28 years has been to recover the personal God.

For all my life, I have understood God to be a personal being rather than some impersonal force. But in recent months the idea of God as a personal being has seemed a very limiting understanding of God. The understanding of God as Divine Presence has become more relevant and helpful for me. So which is it? Personal God or Divine Presence?
