When Scarlett met David, he was on the brink of death. Dependent on a ventilator and in complete kidney failure, David had been in an unresponsive coma for weeks. Now, his family was summoned to say goodbye. Though the situation looked dire, Scarlett—a PhD student at a local university who happened to have a gift for energy healing—felt an intuitive push to offer this dying stranger any help she could. Between teaching classes and tending to her two sons from a previous marriage, Scarlett began daily trips to the hospital.One afternoon, while doing energy work at David's bedside, Scarlett found herself transported out of her body, to a completely different realm. David's spirit was waiting for her there, along with the knowledge that she and David had always known each other in this “forever time.” But that remarkable Shared Near-Death Experience (SNDE) meeting was only the beginning. They both had big decisions to make: whether to live or die, whether to continue hoping or let go.We Met on the Other Side is the inspiring story of two people who found love in the world beyond this one and discovered a way to bring it back to earth.BioScarlett L. Heinbuch, PhD, is an internationally known speaker in the area of near-death experiences, spiritual awareness, and energy healing. Her story was featured on the History Channel's show, The UnXplained, hosted by William Shatner. Dr. Heinbuch coined the term, “Shared Near-Death Experience (SNDE)” after an unusual encounter where she met a dying stranger who had an unexplained healing which resulted in an unusual love story, captured in her memoir, We Met on the Other Side. Others are now experiencing similar encounters and having a new term to express these experiences is opening the door for greater conversations.Scarlett had a childhood Near-Death Experience (NDE) at the age of four, in which she was out of her body and felt the love and awareness of the universe. She has used this awareness in her life in all areas, working in financial services, including several Fortune 500 companies in banking and brokerage, focused on women's financial health and social norms theory. She is retired from the Federal Reserve Bank as an expert in the US payments system.Scarlett holds a PhD in public policy and administration from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and a master's degree in public health (MPH) from VCU's School of Medicine. In addition, Scarlett is certified in two forms of Reiki (Usui and Holy Fire), Hypnotherapy, and NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP). She and David live in Richmond, VA.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4QZ817Zhttps://scarlettheinbuch.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 8th episode, join your host Hunter as we mark day 188 in our journey of reading through the entire Bible this year. Whether you're a longtime listener or just joining us, you'll find encouragement in our simple practice: reading the Scriptures together each day, with the hope of being transformed by the God who is love. In today's episode, Hunter leads us through Hosea 13 and 14, Psalms 100 and 102, and Hebrews 5 in the New Living Translation. As we encounter warnings and promises in the story of Israel, heartfelt prayers from the Psalms, and teachings about spiritual maturity in Hebrews, Hunter reflects on spiritual dullness and invites us to savor the Word—moving from “milk” to “meat”—so that our desire for God would grow and shape our character in everyday life. We'll wrap up with guided prayers, encouragement at this halfway point in the year, and the reminder that, wherever you find yourself on your Bible reading journey, you are loved. Stick around for a nourishing time in God's Word, honest reflection, and practical encouragement to keep pressing forward! TODAY'S DEVOTION: How's your hearing? That's the question the writer of Hebrews wants us to consider. Are you dull of hearing? Has your discernment slipped? Maybe you're finding that you keep making the same mistakes over and over again, lacking the wisdom you need in the moment. The problem might not just be with your decisions, but with what you're listening to—or perhaps, not listening to. The writer of Hebrews points to a spiritual dullness, a lack of attentiveness to what really matters. There's so much more God wants to say to us, so much more life to be found in him—but spiritual dullness keeps us from hearing it. Sometimes, we're listening to too many things that crowd out God's voice. Sometimes, we've simply lost our appetite for the things that truly nourish us. But there's good news: God has given us a remedy—a way to restore our spiritual hearing. It's found in coming back, again and again, to the pure spiritual milk of his word, desiring it, savoring it, letting it nourish our souls. Peter tells us to crave that spiritual milk so that we can grow up into our salvation. The problem isn't the milk; it's our desire for it. When desire wanes, when our ears are dulled by the noise of the world, our hearts grow hard and our lives lack discernment. But we can, by God's Spirit, learn to savor his word again. And as we do, our taste matures. Desire for the “milk” of God's word grows into a hunger for the “meat”—the deeper things of God, wisdom for life, discernment and maturity. Maturity in Christ isn't about managing sin better or checking more boxes on a pious to-do list. It's about a deepening desire for God himself—a dynamic relationship of trust, dependence, and joy. As we savor his word each day, Jesus, the living Word, meets us. He feeds us on his grace, his mercy, his love—and we become people who can recognize the difference between right and wrong, who can respond to God in the moment. That's true maturity. That's wisdom. That's life fully alive. So come to the word daily. Cry out for it. Savor it. Let your desire be rekindled and let it grow. This is the prayer I have for my own soul. It's the prayer I have for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation, shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

Dori Lewis, MA, MEd, LPC-S, is a co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics and owner-operator of Reflective Healing in Fort Collins, CO, where she blends transpersonal psychology, depth work, and psychedelic-assisted therapy after stewarding nearly 100 ketamine therapy sessions and receiving training in shamanic ritual. As an educator, she has delivered talks for the professional psychedelic community, co-teaches introductory psychedelic therapy workshops, and serves as core faculty for the Psychedelic Research and Training Institute (PRATI), specializing in teaching clinicians about set and setting, ceremony, and ritual within ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Her latest venture, Elemental Psychedelics, is a women-led training center providing guidance through a feminine lens, which aligns with her belief that those with influence in professional and psychedelic communities must stay informed and challenge disinformation and questionable ethical practices.Shannon Hughes MSW, PhD, is a co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics, where she organizes high-quality training and experientials to help practitioners develop their relationship to the psychedelic space with clarity, humility, and integrity, drawing on her background in research and academia while valuing both scientific evidence and inner guidance systems.

It's almost universally believed that tech guru Steve Jobs floated into mega success with Apple, the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak.Job's first go-around at Apple didn't end well in 1985, when he was forced out. His next effort wasn't a home run either, yet Jobs put his head down like a fullback and plowed ahead. Next up for him was founding Pixar and finally, more than a decade after his humiliating exit from Apple, Jobs returned there as CEO and revolutionized the way people interacted with computers.Writing about him after his death, Jason Demur said that, “Steve Jobs is lasting evidence that you should never count somebody out—even yourself.” In other words, even if someone pushes you back, you have to keep moving forward. Believe it or not a fellow tech icon, Bill Gates, also had to learn the hard way. His first venture with business partner Paul Allen was a complete failure, but Gates said many times in the years since that learning from failures leads to success, and Microsoft is proof of that.Christian Ministry leader Jo Walls has some interesting things to say to Christians who have perhaps grown too comfortable in their faith, and she addresses herself first. She says, “God's been talking to me lately about being too comfortable. He's challenging me in some ways that I'm not real thrilled about. He's pushing me to grow,” and in fact, He's telling her to ‘cheer up buttercup—life can be a grind,' and that's when we need to push through.Even though it can sometimes sting when someone tells us to chin up, it's ultimately for our good. And let's face it—most of us know it feels good to overcome something really difficult.Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” When your life is spent following Jesus, fear disappears in the light of God's reassuring love. He has a plan for you, and you don't have to walk in the shadows when God's got your back. Every moment of every day is brighter knowing our Heavenly Father watches over us.The unknown doesn't have to be cause for worry. It's an opportunity for God to work on your behalf. Hand the details over to Him and wait patiently and faithfully for His good plan to come to fruition. The joy of knowing we can always depend on God is a message worth sharing.Let's pray.Lord, we need your strength every single day. We know that some things just don't come easy. Thank you for bringing us along the way you do. We pray and believe. It feels good to emerge from difficulty and realize that the strength you gave us pulled us out of despair. In Jesus' name, amen.  Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

At our First Sunday Service of July, Pastor Andy delivered a powerful message from 1 Peter 2—reminding us that we are called not just to salvation, but to discipleship.

On this episode of The CLS Experience, we have a very exclusive treat. Visionary entrepreneur Payam Zamani shares his transformative journey from a young refugee to a pioneering advocate for spiritual capitalism. His story is not just about building successful businesses like AutoWeb and One Planet Group, but also about intertwining deep spiritual beliefs with everyday business practices. Payam's unique perspective challenges traditional views on capitalism, emphasizing the importance of valuing individuals beyond their economic contributions and fostering meaningful interactions in the business world.We explore Payam's personal experiences growing up as a Baha'i facing persecution in Iran. The story of how he was smuggled out of the country to realize his dreams in America serves as a poignant reminder of the optimism and resilience needed to overcome adversity. We discuss America's ongoing role as a symbol of hope for those in distress worldwide and underscores the spiritual dimensions of such a refuge. We are also examining the profound impact of setting audacious goals and embracing challenges as catalysts for personal growth. Payam's insights on questioning as a tool for uncovering truths reflect a commitment to lifelong learning inspired by his Baha'i faith. Through this conversation, we contemplate a conscious form of capitalism where personal growth, service, and purpose seamlessly integrate, offering a path to authentic living and spiritual fulfillment.

The central spiritual teaching is that we are not the mind but the awareness behind it. The personal mind, composed of impressions from past experiences, creates a false sense of self (ego) that causes suffering and distraction. Spiritual growth begins by recognizing this addiction to the personal mind and learning to lean away from its pull rather than engaging with or resisting its thoughts. This process allows divine energy (Shakti) to emerge and guide us deeper into the source of consciousness. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

Join us as we delve into the mysteries of life after death in this captivating episode of "Our Paranormal Afterlife: Finding Proof of Life After Death. " Host Simon Bown welcomes Scarlett Heinbuch, a renowned expert in Shared Near-Death Experiences and author of the enlightening book "We Met on the Other Side. " Scarlett's personal journey into the afterlife began at just four years old when she experienced a life-altering near-death experience while drowning in a swimming pool.Scarlett vividly recounts the moment her consciousness separated from her body, sharing the overwhelming sense of peace and love that enveloped her during this extraordinary event. As she floated above the chaos, she could even sense her mother's panic as she was rescued, providing a unique perspective on the connection between life and the afterlife. This episode is a profound exploration of consciousness after death, offering listeners a glimpse into the spiritual realm that awaits us all.Throughout their conversation, Simon and Scarlett discuss the lasting effects of her Shared Near-Death Experience, including her heightened sensitivity to spiritual energies and her uncanny ability to sense events related to death within her family.

Heinbuch, PhD, is an internationally known speaker in the area of near-death experiences, spiritual awareness, and energy healing. Her story was featured on the History Channel's show, The UnXplained, hosted by William Shatner. Dr. Heinbuch coined the term, “Shared Near-Death Experience (SNDE)” after an unusual encounter where she met a dying stranger who had an unexplained healing which resulted in an unusual love story, captured in her memoir, We Met on the Other Side. Others are now experiencing similar encounters and having a new term to express these experiences is opening the door for greater conversations.Scarlett had a childhood Near-Death Experience (NDE) at the age of four, in which she was out of her body and felt the love and awareness of the universe. She has used this awareness in her life in all areas, working in financial services, including several Fortune 500 companies in banking and brokerage, focused on women's financial health and social norms theory. She is retired from the Federal Reserve Bank as an expert in the US payments system.Scarlett holds a PhD in public policy and administration from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and a master's degree in public health (MPH) from VCU's School of Medicine.

There's more to life's struggles than meets the eye. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains how many of our battles are spiritual at the core—and how God's Word equips us to win the invisible war shaping our everyday lives.

Do you ever feel like your phone has more control over your life than you'd like to admit? Same here. In this episode of Visibly Fit, I get super real with you about my recent 72-hour technology fast—and let me tell you, it wasn't easy.My husband nudged me into it (okay, he challenged me), and I finally said yes after realizing just how overstimulated and under-connected I was feeling, especially with God. From missing step counts and flashlight moments, to not being able to use Siri or check the weather, this fast revealed how much I've come to rely on (and even be addicted to) my devices.

Honestly…sometimes, as Christians, we think things are going to be easy. After all, when Jesus saves you, it doesn't get any better than that! The joy we feel is genuine, and lasting.But—that doesn't mean we escape this world. Bad things can and do happen. This week, we're talking about having enough grit to get to the glory.Romans 5:3–4 says, “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”Part of our Christian walk is developing a personal faith that lasts. As Paul tells us in Romans, leaning in and learning to last is the key to it all. Listen, if you're walking through a really dark valley right now, you are not alone! Many, many people have and are going through exactly what you're going through now.If you bought into the idea that being a Christian means your life becomes easy, you need to go ahead and let that go. True faith requires us to look to the Lord when things go wrong.Stand up on your feet, Christian, and let Jesus steady you. Hold fast!Let's pray. Lord, your strength sustains us. We love you Lord—for that, and for so many more things. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

My guest today is Caroline Arc. Carolini Arco is a Spiritual Mentor, Reiki Master Teacher, Past Lives Healer, ICF ACC Life Coach, and Breathwork Facilitator. Carolini's story is a tapestry of bewildering and mystifying experiences that solidified her belief in the workings of the Spirit and her divine calling at 18, she left her small town in southern Brazil with only $60 to her name to pursue her dream of changing the world through art. Through a series of synchronous events, she met a wise man who recounted her past lives and revealed her higher calling as a Spiritual Healer.Overwhelmed by this intense experience, Carolini initially shut off everything related to spirituality. She traveled the world, spending two years in New Zealand before immigrating solo to Canada at age 23. Working in a sandwich shop to make ends meet, she felt her life was meaningless. Alone in a new country, depression took hold. At her lowest point, a sign offering a “15-Minute Reiki sessions” changed her life forever.This marked the beginning of her awakening to her Spiritual and Healing gifts. Initially, she focused on her own healing, but soon, friends who witnessed her transformation sought her help, wanting “a little bit of what she is having.” In this episode we discuss spirituality, past lives, soul connections, humanity, collective consciousness, self-love and presence.Website - https://www.arcoteachings.com/IG - https://www.instagram.com/arcoteachingsFB - https://www.facebook.com/caroline.arco/Miracle Morning Practice - https://www.arcoteachings.com/mm-morningpractice In this episode you will learn:1. Why living in the present moment is a powerful tool for transformation.2. Tips on how to harness the power of manifestation to create the life you desire.3. How being in service to others can contribute to the collective of well-being and create legacy. “He told me, you came here for a mission and that mission is to help heal people and help advance humanity."- 00:07:38“The moment that I chose it, that I said, OK, I'm going to take this path, and I don't understand it, but I'm going for it, truly my life started opening up in incredibly magical ways. The reality that I have now, I never thought I could have, even five years ago." 00:22:09“I pray that the sense of hope that I have for you is felt in you. ” 00:54:08

In this teaching, I share my latest thoughts about Christ. I delve into the historical Christ, the Christ of religion, and the Christ mythos, or the Christ yet to be discovered.

What happens when trust is shattered—but the soul contract still remains?In this honest and heartfelt episode, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown dive into the spiritual complexities of betrayal and forgiveness.

The Struggle is Spiritual Series: Overcomer Date: July 6, 2025 Church: Life Church Episode Description: In this episode of the Overcomer series, we explore one of the most important truths every believer must understand: the struggle is spiritual. Based on Ephesians 6:10–17, Pastor [Name] unpacks the reality of spiritual warfare and how God has equipped us with His full armor to stand strong against the enemy's attacks. Our battle isn't against people—it's against spiritual forces of darkness. And you can't fight a spiritual battle with natural weapons. This message reveals how the enemy operates—through deception, destruction, and determination—but more importantly, how you can stand firm through God's power, truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and His Word. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, under attack, or just hungry to grow in your faith, this episode is a call to wake up to the unseen war and rise as an overcomer. Key Scriptures: Ephesians 6:10–17 John 10:10 1 Peter 5:8 2 Corinthians 11:14 Luke 10:18

In this message we examine the importance, power and responsibilities of freedom as Americans and followers of Jesus Christ. If we celebrate our freedoms as Americans, how much more should we be living out and celebrating our spiritual freedoms as Christians. Sadly, most in the church don't understand what it means to be spiritually free and don't understand what they have been set free from. Join us as we examine our Spiritual freedoms that Christ secured on the Cross and how we can experience them in our everyday lives.

Recently, we've been giving a series of talks on our values and ideals, based on what Swami Vivekananda said about his Master, Sri Ramakrishna. Having discussed our heritage in Where Did Kālī Come From? | A Brief Herstory we express how wonderful what we inherited is and how important it is for us to aspire to the very highest of ideals in order to maintain and transmit that heritage for future generations. In articulating those values, we first took up the subject in Advice to Spiritual Teachers & Aspirants and expanded inSex, Drugs & Choosing A Guru | Q&A. Finally, in Our Mission | A Manifesto our discussion reached somewhat of a crescendo. In this class, we continue our reading of Swami Vivekananda's "My Master" (a compilation of two talks he gave in 1896 on Sri Ramakrishna) to emphasize the central value that is at the very heart of our lineage; we point out its metaphysical foundations and its implications in our spiritual lives. Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

From Stranger to Citizen: The Spiritual Bond of Believers The Homily begins by reflecting on the deep bond felt when encountering someone from one's home country while abroad, . . . . . . likening it to the spiritual connection shared by Christians as fellow citizens of God's kingdom. Drawing from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians, the Homily highlights that believers are no longer strangers, but members of a spiritual household built on the apostles with Christ as the cornerstone. This shared citizenship brings both privilege and responsibility . . . especially the commandment to love God and neighbor. Community and Its Impact on Our Faith The Homily also centers on St. Thomas the Apostle, emphasizing his honest questioning and desire for understanding as a path to deeper faith. It underscores the importance of community in fostering and strengthening faith, as shown when Thomas encounters the risen Christ only after rejoining the other disciples. The homily concludes by stressing that faith grows through communal sharing, trust, and belief . . . even without physical proof. Believing leads to seeing, and those who believe without seeing are truly blessed. Listen to: From Stranger to Citizen: The Spiritual Bond of Believers -------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily And when we believe we move, it is with this that things become clear later on. The very first thing is to believe. Blessed are those that have not seen but believe. And why are they blessed? Because they shall see. Blessed are those that have not seen, but believe because surely, they will see. -------------------------------------------------------------- Saint Thomas: Spanish Painter: Diego Velazquez: 1618 -------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: John 20: 24-29 First Reading: Ephesians 2: 19-22
