Sometimes that means slipping on a hard hat; other times it means uncovering stories and artifacts that deepen our understanding of the faith's heritage.

The dudes contemplate how Sacred Space and Common Space have more to do with the Common Good than most folks normally consider. Hot takes abound as to why modern buildings look like they do, what would be helpful to the common good, and how beauty should not be privatized but shared.

For more than 30 years, schools, hospitals, and places of worship have been considered "sensitive locations" — spaces protected from immigration enforcement. But recently, President Trump has moved to strip away those protections, opening the door for ICE to enter campuses and target families. Now, a coalition of educator unions, community organizations, and families has come together to fight back. Our guest is Karen Tumlin, Founder and Director of the Justice Action Center, and one of the attorneys leading the PCUN v. Noem lawsuit, which seeks to restore these decades-old protections and defend every student's right to learn without fear.

This week Mary B is joined by her dear friends Elizabeth Delgado Black, the Co-founder & CEO of Kaleidoscope Ministries, and Logan Morrison, Kaleidoscope's Community Outreach Coordinator & Trans Ministry Specialist. Being part of one another's found family themselves, Elizabeth and Logan share some of the joy of the family life they've forged together, as well as the lessons learned. In this episode they chat with Mary B about Kaleidescope's upcoming Trans Prayer March which will be held in multiple locations around the country, and stand out as a place of gathering in joy when so often trans folks are forced to gather in grief and mourning. They discuss the importance of centering trans experiences, trans voices, and the needs of the trans community right now. As Elizabeth says, “What good are my needs being met, if my siblings are suffering.”Elizabeth Black (she/her) is the Co-Founder & CEO of Kaleidoscope, an LGBTQ+ mission organization in New York City. An evangelist, theologian, and minister, Elizabeth longs to see Queer people experience social and spiritual justice and liberation in their unique fullness. Originally from Baltimore, MD, she received a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies from Washington Bible College before earning a Master's in Contextual Theology from All Nations Christian College in the UK. Her work centers on BIPOC transgender theologies of kinship, alongside writing and speaking on LGBTQ+ mission and evangelism. Elizabeth's scholarship is featured in Christlike Acceptance Across Deep Difference: Constructive Conversations on Sexuality and Gender. Beyond her ministry, Elizabeth is a proud wife and mother of two young boys, living in a household woven together with her husband, children, and two beautiful friends who are chosen family.   Logan Morrison (he/him) serves as the Trans Care Specialist and Community Outreach Coordinator at Kaleidoscope. He holds a Masters of Arts in Organizational Leadership. He pursued collegiate soccer coaching for six years following his education and grew a passion for building mentoring relationships with young people exploring topics of faith, sexuality, gender, and purpose. Logan saw the need of showing the radical love of Jesus to the marginalized, and particularly the Queer and Trans community, and took the step into sharing his own story as a Trans man and using it for God's glory in mission. Logan lives with his chosen family in New York City, including three dogs. Follow Kaleidoscope on social media @kaleidoscope.usa.

Send us a textMy guest in this episode is Mhara Starling, a Welsh folk Witch raised on the Isle of Anglesey. Mhara is a fantastic speaker, teacher, and author, and I met her for the first time at the Sacred Space conference this past year. It was wonderful to have her on the show!In this conversation, we focused on Welsh Fairy lore and practices, and how that living tradition of relationship meets the arts of divination: omen-reading, scrying, working with the land, and ethics and good boundaries for working with Fairies in the modern world.

A Sacred Space

reTHINK blends the wisdom of psychology with the depth of Scripture to help us face the thoughts that hold us back. Each week, we'll explore a powerful biblical story, reframe harmful inner narratives, and take steps toward healing, wholeness, and spiritual strength. Be reminded: You are not your thoughts—and you are not alone.

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] In this follow-up to episode #396 in the OCIA: The Bridge to Rome series, Greg takes listeners on a virtual tour of a Catholic church, revealing how its consecrated spaces—from the narthex's sacred pause to the sanctuary's holy altar—incarnate the Mass's eternal worship. Through personal stories, like his clash with a megachurch architect over a church-turned-brewpub, Greg contrasts Catholic sacred space with Protestant functionality, showing how every relic, candle, and font makes heaven tangible. Rooted in Scripture and tradition, this episode invites OCIA inquirers, curious non-Catholics, and Catholics to see the church as a portal to the divine.

Send Us a Message!What if spiritual practice didn't pull you out of your body—but brought you deeper into it? After a month of eclipses, team changes, and heartfelt goodbyes, Christine turned to Tantra not as dogma, but as a grounded, embodied way to meet life. With guest (and her beloved) Jim Macdonald, they unpack what Tantra means to them: a practice of self-love that integrates sexual energy with spirit through the simple, potent tools of breath, movement, and sound.We start by clearing the fog around Tantra. Forget the hype and the rigid scripts—this approach welcomes solo practitioners and couples alike. Jim shares the SkyDancing Institute's lineage of neo-tantra, where the focus is raising energy from root to crown for expanded awareness and everyday ecstasy. Christine bridges Tantra with her Shamanic Reiki background, showing how energy work becomes more alive when you let the body move, the breath deepen, and the voice open. In today's episode, we'll cover: Reframing spiritual practice as embodiment, not escapeDemystifying and de-hyping Tantra3 Keys of Tantra: breath, movement, and soundAccessibility for solo practitioners and couplesChristine's fusion of Tantra with Shamanic ReikiMythic archetypes: Shiva/Shakti, Isis/OsirisInner union of steadiness and fluidityEmphasis on safety, consent, and boundariesLetting go of goals to reduce performance pressureSacred communication for healing intimacyReady to explore further?

Welcome to Day 2711 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Not of This World” – Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2711 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2711 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we continue with the 14th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book "Supernatural," written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who has since passed away. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book, ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter fourteen: “Not of This World” In Jesus' well-known prayer in the garden of Gethsemane before he was arrested for trial, he said of his followers, “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world” (John 17:16). Believers were certainly in the world, specially tasked by God to carry the gospel to every nation (Matt. 28:19–20), but they were not of the world. This paradox—being in the world but not of it—was telegraphed to early Christians in several memorable ways… Sacred Space, Holy Ground, and God's Presence… In chapter 8 we talked about the concept of sacred space. For Old Testament Israelites, God was completely other. The space his presence occupied was set apart from all other space. That wasn't a denial that God was omnipresent—in all places at all times. Rather, it was a way of marking the territory on which he chose to meet with his people. That was one of the purposes for having the tabernacle and the temple. The concept of sacred space was not only the rationale for many of Israel's laws and rituals, but it also reinforced the idea of cosmic geography​—how the world was divided among the lesser gods and the Most High God, the God of Israel… The notion of sacred space gets brought into the New Testament in a dramatic way. All we need to ask is, “Where is the presence of God right now?” While God is everywhere, he specifically dwells within each believer. Believe it or not, you are sacred space. Paul very clearly wrote that “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6:19)… The same is true of the ground where believers gather as a group. Writing to the church at Corinth, Paul told them collectively, “You are God's temple” (1 Cor. 3:16). He told the Ephesian believers they were “members of the household of God … a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit” (Eph. 2:19, 21–22)… The implications are startling. Most of us are familiar with Jesus' statement, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20 leb). But viewed in the context of the Old Testament idea of sacred space, that statement means that wherever believers gather, the spiritual ground they occupy is sanctified amid the powers of darkness… Yahweh's final chosen dwelling place in the Old Testament was Israel—the temple in Jerusalem. Israel became holy ground because that's where God's presence resided. But that holy ground was threatened by the nations that surrounded it and their hostile gods. In the same way, believers today are in a spiritual war. We are now...

It's not every day I get to sit inside the very structure we're discussing on the show, but that's exactly what happened in this conversation with Morgan Bierschenk, founder and chief vision officer of Geoship. Morgan is a father, visionary builder, and mystic explorer who has spent the last two decades following a path of awakening that eventually led him to reimagine what home can mean for humanity.In this episode, we dive into the origins of geodesic domes, Buckminster Fuller's vision of designing a world that works for 100% of humanity, and how sacred geometry and advanced materials are being harnessed to build affordable housing for the future. Morgan shares how Geoship is developing villages designed not only for resilience and sustainability, but also for community, beauty, and biological coherence—spaces that literally support health and harmony.

In this week's episode of Dear Goddess, we're diving into the sacred space of uncertainty,  the in-between, the void, the place where your next evolution is being birthed even when it feels like nothing's working.After hosting my first workshop in Costa Rica (a vision I've held for so long), I found myself reflecting on the magic that unfolds when we follow our soul's desires even when we don't know what's next because you're not always meant to know.The mind wants clarity, timelines, and control, but the soul wants surrender, trust, and expansion.Inside this episode, I share:

God doesn't just dwell in buildings—He desires to dwell within us. In Part 3, we explore the altar as a symbol of surrender and how we, the Church, become His sacred dwelling place.

At City of Hope Orange County, cancer patients and their families can now step into a sanctuary like no other, the world's first immersive, multi-faith spiritual care space. With just a touch, sacred temples, churches, and natural landscapes surround them, blending Disney-level magic with healing science. KFI's Heather Brooker takes us inside where faith, hope, and medicine meet in this special report.

Join Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester on "I Love to Tell the Story" as they explore the narrative lectionary reading for October 26th, focusing on the building of Solomon's Temple from 1 Kings 8:1-13. In this episode, the hosts discuss the transition from King David's reign to his son Solomon, who fulfills David's vision of building a permanent temple for worship. They examine how the temple serves as a central place where God's presence is "intensified" while not confining God to a single location - similar to how we understand the sacraments today. Key topics covered: * The significance of the Ark of the Covenant and the stone tablets at the temple's heart * How the covenant relationship ("I will be your God, you will be my people") remains central to worship * The connection between this reading and Reformation Sunday * Personal reflections on visiting St. Peter's Basilica and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher * The importance of communal worship versus privatized religion * How sacred spaces connect us to the communion of saints across centuries The hosts bring their expertise from Luther Seminary to illuminate how this ancient story speaks to contemporary questions about worship, community, and God's presence among us.

In Part 2, we're diving into God's heart—what He truly desires His Church to be.Not just a building, but a people shaped by His presence, walking in His purpose.Let's discover the Church through His eyes.

God's Blueprint for the Church on the Earth

In this episode, we dive into the beautiful and powerful practice of creating a sacred space in your home and designing your very own personal altar. No matter your culture, religion, or beliefs—even if you're not spiritual at all—having a place filled with objects that are meaningful to you can become an anchor of love, support, and energy in your daily life. I'll share what makes a space “sacred,” where to (and not to) place your altar, and some inspiring ideas for what you might include—from crystals, photos, and candles to symbols that carry personal memories and energy. I'll also tell you the story of a client who transformed her relationship by simply relocating her altar to a better spot in her home. Whether you're new to this idea or already have a practice, this episode will give you inspiration and practical tips to create a space that feels deeply supportive, nourishing, and uniquely yours.

IntroductionEach year millions of tourists visit the Czech capital, awed by its blend of architectural styles and dramatic landscape. St. Vitus's Gothic cathedral towers above the Charles Bridge and the Vltava River, while winding alleys lead to elegant squares lined with Renaissance palaces, Baroque statues, and modern glass structures. Yet this beauty obscures centuries of conflict — ethnic, religious, political, and more typically mundane conflicts— beginning when Prague was just a fort on a hill above a river. Presumably it wasn't built there for the view.In her new book, Prague: The Heart of Europe, Cynthia Paces traces the city's history from the late ninth century, when Slavic dukes built the first fortifications and church, through eleven centuries of triumph and tragedy. Prague has been both an imperial center of a great empire and a city on the periphery of empires—several of them. It became a European capital of art, politics, and pilgrimage, endured religious wars and defenestrations, and was nearly destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. At the beginning of the twentieth century it was celebrated as a beacon of democracy, only for its citizens to endure violent antisemitism, Nazi occupation, and communist repression — before once again becoming a beacon of democracy.Through her story of Prague we come to understand the truth of Franz Kafka's observation: “Prague does not let go; this little mother has claws.” Our conversation moves across centuries of wars, saints, emperors, rebellions, and revolutions to show why Prague still grips the imagination.About the GuestCynthia Paces is Professor of History at The College of New Jersey. She is the author of Prague Panoramas: National Memory and Sacred Space in the Twentieth Century and co-editor of 1989: The End of the Twentieth Century.For Further InvestigationCynthia Paces, Prague: The Heart of Europe (Oxford University Press, 2025)—Prague Panoramas: National Memory and Sacred Space in the Twentieth Century (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2009)Chad Bryant, Prague in Black: Nazi Rule and Czech Nationalism (Harvard University Press, 2007)Derek Sayer, Prague, Capital of the Twentieth Century: A Surrealist History (Princeton University Press, 2013)Related Episodes“Edges are Interesting: A History of Eastern Europe”“City of Light, City of Darkness”“Madrid”Listen & DiscussHow does Prague's geography help explain its importance across European history?What does the Prague Spring reveal about the continuing interplay in Prague's history of freedom, repression, and resilience?

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!If you've ever felt floaty, emotional, or like there's lingering energy hanging around after a reading, healing session, or deep spiritual work—your container may still be open.As intuitives, healers, and sensitives, we often focus so much on opening up to Spirit, to energy, to messages—that we forget one of the most essential parts: closing. Without a strong close, you're more likely to feel ungrounded, vulnerable, or even energetically scattered. And over time, that can take a real toll on your system.In this episode, we're exploring why a thoughtful closing prayer or ritual is more than just a “nice to have.” It's an energetic boundary. It's integration. It's protection. It helps your nervous system settle, brings your energy field back into balance, and gives you the closure needed to return to everyday life feeling strong and clear.  It's essential to your long term health as a spiritual practitioner.Whether you're doing a session for yourself, connecting with Spirit Guides, or holding sacred space for others, you'll find some inspiration to create a closing practice that feels resonant for you.Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.She is a Certified Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.  Christina is the owner of Sedona Medium and co-host of Modern Life and Spirit podcast.She offers Psychic Medium Readings, Soul Readings, and teaches how you can start communicating and receiving messages from your Spirit Guides - through her program.Learn more about her offerings here>>>>>>Please rate, review, and subscribe to show your support, be informed of new episodes  and stay connected with the conversation

This week, we’ll hear from Erin Leigh Nelson, founding executive director of Jessica’s House, a grief support center for children, teens, young adults, and their families coping with the loss of a parent or sibling. Erin’s story is marked by deep personal loss—waves of tragedy that shaped her life and inspired a mission to help others heal. Through heartbreak and resilience, she’s found a way to create a space where young hearts can find hope, expression, and connection. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Allie Marie Smith, a writer, speaker, mental health advocate, and founder of Wonderfully Made, a nonprofit that helps young women discover their worth. Once a high-achieving student and athlete, Allie faced a battle with depression and trauma that reshaped her path.

I wondered where God was and if He noticed. I had prayed so much for protection for my children, and I went into a raw place of grief.” - Erin Leigh Nelson “I experienced this beholding of love that was so deep—and it was beautiful in some way—because I had this feeling of God surrounding me even in the darkness.” - Erin Leigh Nelson “I adopted a practice of just sitting in silence in God’s love for ten minutes every morning. I think it really did increase my intimacy with Him because I was able to be so honest and be in a place of unbelief for as long as it took.” - Erin Leigh Nelson “When a child has support, when they can express what they’re going through, when they can find ways of expression through art and music and play, they are more likely to experience post-traumatic growth.” - Erin Leigh Nelson “If you don’t take the time to be with your healing, to surrender to the grief process that God has placed in each of us, sometimes we can miss the depth of how much healing we can discover for ourselves.” - Erin Leigh Nelson “Every day was a battle. I was struggling silently, and no one knew. The way I coped was I hustled for my worth, and I pushed back against the depression through overachieving and through perfectionism.” - Allie Marie Smith “I felt abandoned by God. I thought that when I gave my life to Him, I wouldn’t have any more troubles or I would never struggle with mental health issues again.” - Allie Marie Smith “I have been waiting my entire life to hear that I wasn’t an accident, that there was a God who intentionally and lovingly created me with awe and dignity and purpose, and that I was so loved and held by God.” - Allie Marie Smith “As we meditate on things that are true and good and lovely, God can actually heal the neural pathways in our brain. We can live our lives to the fullest without any regrets.” - Allie Marie Smith “You’re not broken. You have been chosen. You are so valuable and loved, and God has a hope and a future for you. This isn’t the end of your story—there is hope.” - Allie Marie Smith ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
