We often times want to fix perimenopause, but what if we are able to reframe it as a threshold the body is guiding us through. In this episode, we explore how time in nature supports the perimenopausal nervous system by lowering cortisol and inflammation, and how this physiological shift can ease symptoms such as anxiety, weight gain, brain fog, and the emotional rollarcoaster. Through a Wild & Rooted lens, this conversation weaves together science, nervous system wisdom, and the spiritual remembering that we are not meant to move through this season alone; instead we can work in partnership/relationship with nature, which offers co-regulation, rhythm, and belonging.

Pastor Mike launches this new sermon series by taking aim at one of the most accepted spiritual trends of our time—the kind that feels personal, flexible, and easy to control. But is it actually leading you anywhere solid? Rooted in Psalm 16, this message challenges you to consider who holds the authority in your life—and whether that's bringing the peace and purpose you're hoping for.

As we begin a new year, many of us carry fresh hopes for growth, change, and strength but experience the same patterns breaking down by midyear. In this message, Pastor Trey Hildebrant launches the Built to Last series by asking a deeper question: what does it actually mean to grow in a way that lasts? Rooted in 1 John, this sermon reframes spiritual growth away from temporary resolutions and toward lasting transformation. True growth is not measured by how much we know, but by how closely our lives reflect what we believe. It is the steady shrinking of the gap between knowledge and obedience, and a daily movement from self-reliance to dependence on God. Pastor Trey introduces a simple framework for a life built to last: growing up in our relationship with God, in with other believers, and out in love and mission toward the world. Through Scripture, practical examples, and Jesus' invitation to take on His easy yoke, we are reminded that strength does not come from trying harder, but from drawing nearer. This message invites us to step into a new year not driven by pressure or performance, but anchored in a faith that endures. Growth. Faith. Dependence. (01/04/2026)

In this message, Bob and Linda Lotich kick off a new series called Money Talks, where they share their journey from financial pressure to freedom, showing how humility, dependence on God, and faithful obedience led to breakthrough. Rooted in 2 Chronicles 20, they remind us that while God fights our battles, He invites us to take steps of faith and obedience. This message challenges us to trust God with our finances, take practical action, and expect Him to move.

This week, Pastor Chris launched the 2026 Greater Things Fast with a compelling teaching on the power of fasting. In John 14, Jesus promises that those who believe in Him will do greater works through the power of the Holy Spirit, and we explored fasting as one of the God-given ways we are invited into that deeper, Spirit-led life. Rooted in Scripture, fasting is presented as a grace-filled practice that humbles us, realigns our desires with God, and awakens our hunger for righteousness. As we fast and pray, we make space for God to speak, to break strongholds, and to empower us to walk more fully in His will and power.

As The Harbor celebrates 28 years of God's faithfulness, this Vision Sunday calls us back to our foundation. From the story of Mustard Seed Mountain to Jesus' closing words in the Sermon on the Mount, we're reminded that knowing the right foundation without building our lives upon it will never lead to fruit. Rooted in Matthew 7:24–29, this message challenges us to move beyond merely hearing Jesus' words and instead follow Him fully. As we step into 2026 with a renewed focus on Foundation, our prayer is that we would stand firm on Christ, produce lasting fruit, and live lives that point others to His authority and glory.Download your Vision 2026 Prayer Card by clicking here.Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=SyDFKER7beSmall Group Discussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/14Firm-Foundation.pdfFind us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

As a new year unfolds and the calendar turns, uncertainty can stir anxiety—but Scripture reminds us that while seasons change, God remains the same. Rooted in Psalm 102:25–27, this devotional centers our hearts on the unchanging nature of God, offering peace and confidence when the future feels unknown and reminding us that our hope is secure in the One who never shifts or fades. Highlights Change is a natural part of life, but God’s character remains constant. Scripture anchors us when anxiety about the future begins to rise. God is eternal—Creator, Sustainer, and faithful through every season. Jesus Christ confirms God’s unchanging promises and redemptive plan. Trust grows when we release control and rest in God’s sovereignty. God invites us to enter a new year with peace, not fear, rooted in His faithfulness.

Full Transcript Below: When the Calendar Changes but God Remains By: Laura Bailey Bible Reading:“In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVI found that people have mixed feelings about change. There are those like me who crave change and are easily bored by routine and regimentation. Conversely, perhaps you are more like my husband, who finds comfort in consistency. The reality is that life offers us both. Change is inevitable and necessary, and finding contentment in routine is equally important. Yes, as humans, we will experience change throughout our lives. But here’s the good news: there’s one thing that never changes - our God! Today, if you are feeling anxious about the changing of the calendar, rest in the truth that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When feelings of worry and dread of the unknown are tempted to steal your joy and rob your peace, take time to recite these prayers, as you rest in our unchanging God! “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVHeavenly Father, I come before as I enter a new year filled with uncertainty. My heart is anxious, my thoughts consumed with the “what-ifs.” Lord, help my heavy heart rest in the knowledge that You are the Creator, You’ve always existed, and You remain the same for all eternity. You spoke the creation into existence. Your plan for redemption for Your children has remained constant through the ages. When fear of the unknown creeps in, I ask you to silence those thoughts and grant me peace that only You can provide. Thank you. Though I am fickle, Lord, You are always faithful in Jesus' Name, Amen.Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. - Hebrews 13:8Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus that You keep Your promises. In the garden, You promised to make a way for Your children to be reconciled to You, to be saved and redeemed for their sins. Jesus was there in the beginning, and He has always been a part of Your plan. Help me to trust in Your purpose. Lord, You know my thoughts, my heart that quickly beats because I am anxious about tomorrow. Yet, You are sovereign, in total control, and are working everything for my good and Your glory. Calm my anxiety, and help me to release control, the need to know every detail over to You. This year, Lord, I ask that I approach each day worry-free, because I know You are unchanging, and You are Faithful, and I can put my trust in You. In Jesus'Name ' Name, Amen. For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6 ESV Heavenly Father, though people are inconsistent and fickle, You are not. You are immutable, faithful, and steadfast. Your very nature is unchanging. I can put my trust in You because You are eternally trustworthy. Please guide my decisions so that I may live in a way that is holy and pleasing to you. Transform my thoughts and desires to align with Your will. I give this year to you, the highs and lows, the good and bad days, I surrender and submit to You. You are a God, who sees and cares about your children. While I am not able to see the future, I can trust in the One who is the Alpha and Omega — the beginning and the end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Praying for you today, friend, as you navigate the changing of the calendar. May this new year bring anticipation and excitement, not dread and anxiousness, as you trust our unchanging God.Intersecting Faith & Life:How do you feel about change?

In this special testimony episode of Affirming Truths, Carla Arges sits down with Rooted & Resilient graduate Ivanka to talk about what changed for her over 12 weeks of Christ-centered healing. Ivanka shares how a major breakup and years of mental health struggles left her stuck in fight-or-flight - exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do next. Through the program, one message became a turning point: healing isn't the absence of pain - it's the presence of truth. Ivanka describes how rooted identity in Christ (Galatians 4:4–7) reshaped the way she understood her thoughts, emotions, and choices. Instead of being ruled by how she felt, she learned to acknowledge her emotions without letting them take the driver's seat - choosing truth, renewing her mind (Romans 12:2), and building steady, sustainable practices that supported her whole person. If you've ever wondered whether healing is possible when life is still hard, this episode will remind you: you can be in a storm and still be deeply grounded - because your foundation is Christ.

Episode 1918: Cal Newport introduces the concept of rooted productivity, a foundational habit that simplifies and strengthens all other productivity systems. By committing to a single, regularly updated document outlining your key practices, you reduce mental clutter, boost motivation, and make your approach to productivity far more resilient and effective. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2017/01/05/on-rooted-productivity/ & https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2021/08/12/a-5-5-billion-reminder-that-email-is-not-work/ Quotes to ponder: "A lot of people get excited about a hack when they first read about it, but it's all too easy for it to fade away along with their initial enthusiasm." "A commitment to a productivity habit kept only in your head can be just as taxing as any other type of open loop." "My suggestion for the new year, in other words, is that before you make any new commitments to improve your life, start with this one root commitment that can serve all the rest."

Starting the New Year with Jesus reshapes our priorities, renews our focus, and grounds our lives in lasting hope rather than fleeting resolutions. Rooted in Matthew 22:37, this devotional invites believers to begin the year by loving God fully—heart, soul, and mind—choosing spiritual devotion over worldly pursuits and discovering the abundant life Jesus promises. Highlights The most meaningful New Year’s resolution is deepening your relationship with Jesus. Centering your life on Christ brings greater joy, clarity, and spiritual stability. Material success and worldly goals cannot satisfy the soul like Christ can. Starting the year with Jesus means trusting Him with struggles, grief, and uncertainty. Following Jesus leads to protection, comfort, and a fuller life rooted in His love. Loving God above all else realigns our hearts and reveals where our true allegiance lies.

Full Transcript Below: Starting the New Year with Jesus By Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind’” (Matthew 22:37). As the New Year approaches, many of us consider the New Year's resolutions we want to make. Various resolutions can draw our attention, such as weight loss, getting organized, or switching careers. While all of these are common New Year's resolutions, the greatest resolution we can make is to start the year with Jesus, cultivate our relationship with Him, and faithfully follow Him. Developing a stronger relationship with Jesus throughout the year will prove beneficial not only for the present year but also for all years to come. While we will not be completely immune from problems, our lives will become better and more focused on the Lord. The more our lives are centered around Jesus, the more joyful we will be. Soon, we will see that materialism and the things of the world do not fulfill us. They are but empty promises that lead us away from the Lord. We don’t need to chase after these things or follow them. Since we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we should strive to nurture our relationship with Him. This New Year could be the perfect start. Consider what you are struggling with and the help that Jesus can offer. Maybe you are battling a chronic illness or facing the death of a loved one. Give these matters over to Him and trust Him with the New Year. It can be easy to think that this year will be just as terrible as the year prior, but we need to remember that we are making a change. The change from living in accordance with Jesus rather than with the world will prove to be glorious. Protection, safety, and comfort will always surround us. Jesus does not want us to start another year without Him. He wants us to walk with Him and to trust Him. By making this decision, we can truly start living the most whole life that Jesus died for us to have (John 10:10). Intersecting Faith & Life: When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment is, He replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). By doing this, we will be able to live this New Year with our hearts focused on the Lord. Rather than loving the things of this world, we need to change the narrative and choose to love Him. Challenge yourself and see if the Lord is truly your top priority. Is He the one you want to please, or is it yourself? As we enter the upcoming year, we need to examine our hearts and ask ourselves these challenging questions. By answering these questions honestly, we will be able to see where our allegiance lies. If a person has discovered they have not truly placed faith in the Lord yet, they can choose to trust in Him today. This can be done by believing that Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 10:9-11). If you believe this, you will have eternal life, forgiveness, and salvation. With this upcoming year, take the opportunity to start the year with Jesus. Choose to faithfully follow Him and love Him throughout every storm of life. Some days will be harder than others, yet the love the Lord has for us knows no bounds (Romans 8:37-39). Since the Lord loves us in this way, we need to love Him too and focus on serving Him. What are your New Year's resolutions? Are any of them centered around Jesus? What would it look like to follow Jesus rather than the world this upcoming year? Dear Lord, please forgive me for focusing on the world rather than You in previous years. I’m choosing to start this year with You and to keep my eyes focused on You. During this upcoming year, help me to fully love You with all my heart, soul, and mind. You are completely worthy of all my love, and I’m sorry I have been far from You for so long. In Your Name, I pray, Amen.

In this episode, our host Kyia shares a heartfelt look into her 2026 through the word she's chosen for the year...renewed. She opens up about being renewed from old patterns, struggles, and versions of herself she's grown out of, while honoring the growth and beauty that 2025 held. Rooted in the truth that God's mercies are new every morning, this episode explores what it looks like to walk into a new year not striving to become someone entirely different, but allowing God to restore, refresh, and renew what already exists. It's an honest conversation about gratitude, growth, surrender, and choosing daily renewal over perfection.

Bill Vitek discusses "Rooted in the Land," the essay collection he edited with Wes Jackson about what makes communities work. From the Book Nook archives, recorded 1996.

In this powerful teaching, Pastor Sean Pinder and Pastor Jeffrey Zimmerman break down four essential practices every believer must embrace to grow strong and consistent in their walk with God. Using Luke 11:1–4, where Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray, this message highlights the necessity of prayer, dependence on God, obedience, and daily surrender. Christianity is not merely a belief system—it is a lived-out relationship with the Father.Rooted in 1 Peter 2:2–3, this teaching challenges believers to crave the pure Word of God in order to mature spiritually and truly experience the goodness of the Lord. If you're hungry for growth, stability, and a deeper relationship with Christ, this message will equip and motivate you to put your faith into action. Watch with expectancy and allow God to strengthen your spiritual foundation.

In our final lesson for this series in the letter of Colossians we look at how the purpose of God for His people in who we become involves touching and shaping the lives of others around us. It's easy to get distracted from this mission, which is why the Gospel of Christ redirects His people to God's eternal purpose.  Can we help you with your walk with God? We'd love to hear from you! https://www.thebibleway.com/contact.

The future may be unknown, but the invitation remains the same: seek first the Kingdom and trust the King who is fully in control.Support the show

We also dig into the psychological hurdles—scarcity mindsets, local competition, and fear of idea theft—and offer tactics to lower the stakes while raising the value.Donors will find a candid roadmap for engagement beyond the glossy report. Think voice-memo updates, WhatsApp groups for real-time wins and needs, live video walk-throughs from the field, and small, transparent experiments that welcome learning—not just outcomes. Tasha's stories from global peers, from rural Uganda to national networks, reveal how consistent, human-scale rituals can restore hope and drive measurable impact.  Hive: https://thenonprofithive.com/If you believe radical collaboration beats going it alone, this conversation gives you concrete steps to start.

In John Chapter 1, John speaks in this one thing after the next kind of cadence, “He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him.”Dr. Chris Croghan helps us break out of the methodical nature of the words to reveal what the Word is really saying: that we believe we're in charge of our our own existence because the devil causes us to question God's speaking, yet God has given us His name, His promise, and His attitude toward us: Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionCOURSES Do you like what you learn in the conversations on Scripture First?

The New Year often arrives with pressure. Maybe in the past, you have instilled new goals, new habits, a demand to change quickly, but you found yourself reaching for something that seemed to be unattainable in the end. In this episode, we slow this moment down. We accept this step into the new year and instead of resolutions built on force or self-criticism, we explore what it means to create intentions that are internally believed, supportive, and deeply possible. This episode is an invitation to meet the year ahead gently, with trust, embodiment, and self-honoring change. Growth does not come from pressure, it comes from relationship with yourself and the world around you. Just like in nature, the deepest changes often happen quietly, beneath the surface, long before anything is visible. Thank you for listening, for slowing down, and for choosing a rooted beginning. If this episode resonated, you're warmly invited to explore more reflections, rituals, and nature-based wisdom inside the Wild & Rooted world and through my social media platforms. www.heatherwebsterwellness.com IG: @heatherwebsterwellness

What does it truly mean to make disciples? In this powerful four-part conclusion to the Commands of Christ series, we explore the Great Commission as the crescendo of all that Jesus commanded. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Have we allowed the commands of Christ to shape our lives so deeply that we are compelled to pass them on to others? What legacy of discipleship are we leaving behind for the next generation?As we conclude this four-year journey through the commands of Christ, we are invited into the very heartbeat of discipleship: to go, to teach, and to pass on what we've received. The Great Commission is not the end—it's a beginning. Jesus calls us to treasure His commands, not only in our study and meditation, but in our obedience and our sharing (Matthew 28:18–20). We've discovered that these 51 commands are not mere rules but revelations of Christ's character, windows into His heart, and pathways into deeper relationship with Him. From abiding in Him to receiving His power, from denying self to awaiting His return, each command has formed a beautiful mosaic of what it means to follow Jesus. Now, with full hearts, we pass the baton—encouraging every listener to continue in the Word, to keep treasuring His commands, and to go make disciples. Let us walk forward with boldness, knowing that Christ goes with us, and let us live in such a way that others see Him clearly through our lives. This is not just a podcast series—it is the ongoing call of Christ. May we hear it and follow Him faithfully.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Feast of the Holy Family – Holy and Ordinary (December 28, 2025) On the Feast of the Holy Family, we reflect on a powerful truth: holiness is found not in extraordinary places, but in ordinary family life. Jesus chose to grow within a real human family—one marked by love, sacrifice, misunderstanding, and daily tension—showing us that God's primary path to holiness is lived through relationships. This reflection explores how everyday moments of friction, sacrifice, and care within families become opportunities for growth in love, patience, and mercy. Drawing from Scripture, it reminds us that putting the needs of others before our own—spouses, children, parents, coworkers, and neighbors—creates a ripple effect of grace that extends far beyond the home. The Holy Family teaches us that real holiness is not perfection, but faithfulness: choosing love in the midst of ordinary life. As we look to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we ask for the strength to recognize the opportunities God places before us each day to grow in authentic, lived holiness. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—pray for us.   About Father David Father David is the lead pastor of the Lac Courte Oreilles & Hayward Area Catholic Churches in northern Wisconsin, serving multiple parishes across the Northwoods.

POLITICS, WAR, AND THE REPUBLICAN SPIRIT OF THE IMPRESSIONISTS Colleague Sebastian Smee. Édouard Manet was a passionate Republican who loathed the authoritarian rule of Napoleon III, a sentiment rooted in his witnessing the 1848 uprising and his travels to Rio where he saw the horrors of slavery. His political activism influenced the Impressionist circle, who were all Republicans. Manet frequented cafés to discuss politics with figures like Léon Gambetta, a moderate Republican leader navigating the tensions between monarchists and radicals. The group's optimism was tested by the Franco-Prussian War of 1870; following the Emperor's defeat at Sedan, a Republic was declared, but Paris was soon besieged by Prussian troops. The war touched the artists directly: the painter Bazille died in combat, and Alfred Sisley painted landscapes on the banks of the Seine that had recently been bloody battlefields, creating art that contemporaries recognized as scenes of trauma.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Criticism comes easily, but gratitude and faith invite deeper renewal.

What do you do when the people closest to you don't support your next step? Proverbs 28 gives a powerful answer—and today's conversation might be exactly what you need if you're feeling unseen, unsupported, or discouraged.A friend of mine, Vince, reached out after launching a new aspect of his business. Instead of encouragement, he felt resistance from the very people he expected to support him. That moment created a fork in the road: either jump in the hole with him emotionally, or offer timeless wisdom passed down from my Pops—you can be a prophet in every city except your own hometown.This episode unpacks a hard truth leaders, entrepreneurs, and people of faith eventually learn: your friends and your customers are rarely the same people. And that's okay.Rooted in Proverbs 28 and reinforced by 2 Corinthians 9:6—“whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will reap generously”—this conversation centers on one defining question:Which seeds should I plant?Proverbs 28 lays out the exact kind of seeds that lead to an abundant harvest: integrity, righteousness, generosity, discipline, and faithfulness. Our job is not to worry about the increase. Scripture reminds us that one plants, another waters—but only God brings the increase.If you're building something new, walking by faith, or planting seeds without applause, this episode is your encouragement.Keep planting. God handles the harvest.Vince—your harvest is on the way.

Many believers want to pray more but struggle to fit prayer into already full lives. In this episode, we explore the difference between having prayer time and living prayerful lives.Introducing Life Rhythm Prayer, this conversation reframes prayer not as something we squeeze into our schedules, but as a posture we carry throughout the day. Rooted in the biblical call to “pray without ceasing,” Life Rhythm Prayer invites us to pause, acknowledge God, and invite the Spirit into ordinary moments like work, conversations, decisions, and daily routines.This episode introduces the heart behind Life Rhythm Prayer and invites listeners to consider what it looks like to carry God-consciousness into the everyday rhythms of life.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam delivers a powerful, end-of-year challenge built around a simple but life-changing command: Keep on serving. Rooted in the heartbeat of Apostolic Pentecostal faith—serve and save—this message reminds us that while only Jesus can save, God has chosen to work through people who are willing to serve. With passion and clarity, Pastor Putnam celebrates what God has done through faithful service in the local church and the community, while also calling every believer to move beyond comfort and convenience. Drawing from Scripture, including Jesus' example of washing the disciples' feet and Paul's exhortation in Romans 12, he makes it clear: serving is not optional for Christians—it is the pathway God uses to reach the lost. From well-known biblical figures to unnamed servants working quietly in the background, this message highlights how God consistently uses ordinary people with willing hearts. Service isn't about spotlight or status; it's about availability, humility, and obedience. When the church embraces this calling, joy increases, unity deepens, and salvation follows. As we close out the year and look ahead to what God wants to do next, this episode will stir your heart to action. If you've ever wondered how God can use you, this message will answer that question with conviction and hope. We Serve, He Saves.

Are you a disciple, or just a church attender? You Need Some Son is a call back to real discipleship. Rooted in 1 John 1:5, this message challenges us to turn from surface-level faith and return to Jesus, the true light with no darkness in Him. A timely word calling the church from comfort to conviction and from popularity to power.

Hope shapes how we live, rest, endure, and love. In this message, we explore a hope anchored in Jesus—His death, resurrection, and promised return. This hope brings real comfort in anxious moments, invites deep rest in God’s presence, confronts our self-reliance, and fuels lives of obedience and love. Rooted in Scripture and sustained by God’s faithfulness, biblical hope stands firm through uncertainty and suffering. This sermon calls us to hold fast, live expectantly, and share the hope we’ve received with a world longing for something sure.

 THE LEGACY OF THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR Colleague Max Boot. Boot reflects on Reagan's legacy, noting his "genial and aloof" personality rooted in childhood trauma. He discusses the superficial nature of Reagan's diaries, his economic record aided by Paul Volcker, and his unassuming nature, exemplified by a story about an uncomfortable chair he refused to complain about.

A Christmas Day fireside conversation for the mom who carried it all—and wonders if the miracle was supposed to look bigger. This gentle episode offers rest, hope, and the reminder that God often comes quietly.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Brigham Young and other LDS church leaders taught that Jesus was begotten by God the Father in a literal sense, in the same way everyone is physically conceived. This is consistent with the broader view that God possesses a tangible, physical body. And that eternal sex and child bearing is part of the next life for those in the highest levels of the Celestial Kingdom. Church leaders at the time did not provide a detailed or explanation of the encounter between God and Mary, but implied that Christ's conception followed natural laws rather than being a nebulous, immaterial miracle. Where did this idea of a physical conception come from? Mormonish is joined by Ganesh Cherian and Master Peace to discuss the influence of polygamy (in this life and the next,) on the unique view of 19th and 20th century church leaders that Jesus was conceived by some sort of physical act between God and Mary. ***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here: DONATE THROUGH DONORBOX https://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcast Mormonish Podcast is a 501(c) (3) ****WE HAVE MERCH! **** If you'd like to purchase Mormonish Merch, you can visit our Merch store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mormonishmerch We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!
