Podcasts about spiritual experiences

A spiritual experience is closer to many than they might think — especially for the faithful. As the spiritual realm gains traction in both pop culture and faith circles, believers are increasingly asking: Is this stuff real, and how do I discern truth from fiction? While some dismiss demons, exorcism, deliverance, and the supernatural as outdated myths, countless Christians continue to share real stories of both oppression and miraculous freedom. In a world where Ouija boards are marketed as toys and TikTok teems with spiritual influencers, navigating truth from deception isn't just cultural—it's deeply personal, often painful, and undeniably hopeful.In this episode of Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer sits down with Ryan Bethea, producer and host of The Exorcist Files, as well as co-host of the new podcast Heaven Meets Earth. Ryan's exploration into Catholic exorcisms and modern-day miracles offers an unparalleled look into how spiritual warfare manifests today. As a Protestant gaining insights from Catholic traditions, and through deeply researched narrative storytelling, Ryan brings humility, humor, and serious theological weight to one of the most misunderstood and scarcely discussed topics in Christianity.Be equipped with a fresh, Spirit-led perspective and practical tools to understand the realities of spiritual warfare, what deliverance looks like in real life, and how God still works through miracles today. This episode is for curious skeptics, discerning believers, and anyone hungering for more of God's power and presence.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Explore real-life encounters with demonic forces and the process of exorcism in both Catholic and Protestant contexts through the lens of spiritual warfare.Gain insight into how miraculous healing and supernatural intervention point to God's faithfulness through a spiritual experience in the modern day.Reflect on how to discern spiritual attack from psychological or circumstantial hardship—and find wisdom for your own spiritual battles.Become Part of Our Mission!

Time rushes forward and in attempt to control its passage, we often find ourselves divvying it up into smaller sections, mining it for every ounce of productive energy, or missing it entirely. In this episode, we explore how mitzvos offer us a way to suspend time---not by escaping it, but by entering it more deeply. Each mitzvah invites us into a moment of stillness within the endless flow of life. These moments of interaction with the divine don't just change our experience of time, but reshape us as people. Our beings are shifted by the way we choose to inhabit the moments of our lives.Source mentioned: Maamer V'Avraham Zaken 5738 Sefer Hamamorim Melukat Vol. 1* * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

Welcome to Episode 43 of The Paranormal Rundown! Bert, the David Bowie look-a-like Dutch psychiatrist, is back with us again to discuss all things paranormal and psychological. Bert did his best to keep us on track, but I think he is going to have to schedule us for several more rounds of group therapy. We managed to cover Psychology vs Parapsychology, PSI, Tenhaeff, Nostradamus, Handling Paranormal and Spiritual Experiences in Therapy, Schizophrenia, The Mystery of Life Itself, The Castle of the Soul, The Desert Fathers and the Seven Steps to Habitual Sin, Childhood OCD, The Psychiatry of AI, AI as a Tool for the Neurodivergent, LLMs talking about Mary, Bullebak, and Frank Herbert's Dune. As you can see, we may need to up our dose of ADHD meds, but it certainly makes for an interesting Rundown!As mentioned in our last episode, our numbering scheme has changed. However, some knucklehead told Vic the wrong episode number when we started, so you are not going crazy if you noticed that episode 43 is called 42 in all the audio references. I have taken the culprit out behind the woodshed and dealt with the problem, so I promise it won't happen again! Now, if you will excuse me while I go find an ice pack to sit on...If you have any suggestions on what episode number we should use next time, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.comThe Paranormal Rundown is a partnership between the hosts David Griffith, Father Michael Birdsong, and Vic Hermanson.Be sure to check out our partner podcasts:You can find Vic at Trailer Trash Terrors, https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vic-hermansonYou can find Father Birdsong at https://www.becomingahouseofprayer.com, as well as hear his new podcast Ending the Curse at:https://open.spotify.com/show/5yL7ZAN4wcRKnMPAlalVXW Hosted on Acast.

Julie and Kevin explore what it means to teach without a classroom—how even the most administrative callings can become sacred opportunities to lead others to Christ.Through heartfelt stories and practical insights, they highlight how roles like building scheduler, technology specialist, or primary pianist can be transformed into spiritual experiences when approached with intention and love. This episode invites listeners to reimagine “non-teaching” callings as powerful platforms for ministry, reminding us that every assignment in the Lord's work is a chance to teach by doing and testify through example.

When we have service, we feel naturally satisfied. My tendency is, in material consciousness, to think, "Why aren't people serving me enough?" And that's why I'm dissatisfied. "Let's make a list: my such-and-such isn't serving me enough." Suggestions -Wife, husband, start there. Let's start at home. "The kids aren't serving me enough. Who else?" My contractor, whatever it may be. You can make a long list, and you say, "They're not serving me enough." You'll be in endless anxiety, because no one will ever serve you enough, and we'll never be able to serve them enough, either, on the materialistic level. But for ourselves, when we say, "How can I be of service?" and we go into service mind, rather than the false ego of "Why aren't people serving me enough?" then there's a sense of relief, natural relief. It's a very simple switch: from being the center or trying to find a place that's comfortable for me, to being a servant. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

GTO Wizard - The best way to learn and practice GTO!Use this link to sign up: https://gtowizard.com/p/junglemanThis week I'm with Wayne Yap, who literally dominated the Asian poker scene as the former #1 in Singapore, stacking up over $1.3M in tournaments and $3M+ in cash games before making a hard left into business. Seriously, why would someone leave crushing it at the tables? We dug into applying hardcore poker thinking – the EV, the polarization – to the business world, and turns out, most business folks are missing this crucial stuff. He breaks down why you actually need to repel some people to attract the right ones, a wild concept that makes a lot of sense once you hear it.Beyond the strategy, we touched on some deep and unexpected territory: intense spiritual journeys, what it's really like buying and running businesses without prior experience, and the brutal lessons about who to trust along the way. If you've ever wondered if poker brains are wasted just playing cards, or how to find leverage and value in unconventional places, this is the conversation.Check out Wayne's X linked below for more unfiltered thoughts.https://x.com/wayneyapCHAPTERS00:00 - Wayne Yap: Poker Pro to Business Guru & Spiritual Explorer01:00 - The Spiritual Rabbit Hole: Meditation & Transcendent Experiences02:26 - Crushing Poker: Singapore's #1 and Big Wins03:08 - Why Leave Poker at the Peak?

Bill W is sharing on the topic of Spiritual Experience at an unknown meeting in April of 1968. Many of the Bill W recordings are very bad quality, this one was just ok. I did manage to clear out a large amount of background noise and adjusted the tones to make it more listenable. The first half is cleaner than the second half. Overall its not an unpleasant listen but it may not be for everyones ear. Regardless I think its important to keep Bill's speaks out there.

PHIL WILSON received an honors degree in mathematics in 1970 and then spent 5 years studying the history and philosophy of mathematics in graduate school.  In 1970, he had an out-of-body experience and a kundalini awakening. These two incidents made Phil very sensitive and propelled him from the world of mathematics into the world of Holistic Health. Phil became a pioneer in the 1970s, promoting fasting, herbs, and a pure diet. In 1980, he opened a health food store and health food distribution company, focusing on selling cutting-edge nutritional products and massage tools to over 1,100 health food stores and health professionals monthly.  In 2002, Phil was introduced to the Relax Far Infrared Sauna. He has spent the last 22 years educating many about not only the benefits of Far Infrared Light but also the incredible difference between the light emitted from the Relax Sauna and the frequency of light energy emitted by other good infrared saunas. We not only discuss the benefits of the latest in sauna technology, but the concept of living in the now, the parasympathetic nervous system and the importance of connection to the Earth and other people. Phil considers the Relax Sauna the pinnacle of all the products he has ever promoted that promote health and freedom for the individual. He has exhibited the Relax Sauna at over 500 conferences, and out of the 150,000 who have experienced it at conferences, he has seen at least 30,000 – 40,000 minor or significant miracles. Phil's talks and interviews are highly informative, laced with humor and wisdom, and uplifting! Phil Wilson's journey. His dive into holistic health following a transformative experience has shaped his unique outlook.   Phil's pioneering work with cutting-edge nutritional products and especially the Relax Far Infrared Sauna stands out. Over 6000 units sold speaks to his impact in the field. His stories of the thousands who've experienced what he calls "miracles" through the sauna are inspiring.   phil@relaxsunas.com relaxsaunas.com

#356 In this episode, Guy welcomed Robbie Mackenzie to discuss the power of the Merkaba, a form of sacred geometry that informs our energy fields and helps individuals unlock their spiritual potential. Robbie explained how opening the Merkaba can lead to heightened states of consciousness, spiritual ascension, and overall well-being. He shared his personal journey, which includes extensive fasting and meditation, to fully activate and channel this energy. Throughout the conversation, the importance of raising collective consciousness and embracing one's divine power is emphasized. Robbie also talked about his work with Archangel Metatron and his role as an 'ascension artist,' encouraging listeners to recognize and tap into their inner power for a transformative life experience. About Robbie: Robbie Mackenzie, a trance Medium, Healer and Intuit. I developed in a meditation circle twenty one years ago and very quickly I was standing on my feet being overshadowed by beautiful loving beings who spoke through me while I was in a deep trance state.

*Trigger Warning* This episode contains adult themes, specifically centered around suicide. Listener discretion is advised.Today, Paige welcomes Jay Lowder. Called to full-time evangelism in 1989, Jay is the founder of Jay Lowder Harvest Ministries, an organization dedicated to reaching diverse groups of people with the message of Jesus Christ. Through his ministry, he travels the globe to football stadiums, schools, churches, and coliseums to provide a message of hope to the hurting. Jay developed the nationally acclaimed school assembly Crossroads, which has been presented to 2 million students nationwide. Jay shares his incredibly powerful testimony and challenges us that a “spiritual experience”, while potentially a catalyst for faith, isn't a deep relationship with Jesus - that requires intention, dedication, reading His word, and living out the truth that Jesus is Lord and Savior in your life, every day. Paige's TakeawaysTrust that God is with you and that He has you (and your kids).This doesn't come quickly or necessarily naturally. This takes time in His Word, in prayer, in community with those who have walked with Him longer. Model this to your kids and provide counsel and support so they can grow in their own relationship with Him. Don't pray away the Goliaths for your kids.As much as we want a smooth and happy life for them, we sometimes have to let them make their own decisions (good and bad) so they learn and build their foundation of faith and trust in Jesus. Let them see the real Christ in your life.What does your life with Jesus look like in the day-to-day? Are you modeling Christlike behaviors to your kids? Do they see you reading your Bible and praying? Are you showing your kids that Jesus is priority #1 in your life?Pray for your kids!We can rest in the knowledge that God hears our prayers and loves our children more than we can.Paige ClingenpeelQuestions About the Podcast?

Lee, on the Big Island of Hawaii, is seeking a daily spiritual experience to help her deal with challenges. Listen in as I offer Lee suggestions for channeling her Higher Power, not just on special occaisons but every day.

One of the main reasons I started this podcast was to showcase the stories, experiences & impact these medicines have made upon people's lives. That being said, I still get goosebumps when I hear those stories as they remind me of the immense power that not only these medicines hold within them, but that we also hold within us. Todays guest on the show is a returning guest, one of my dear brothers in the world & someone who is one of the best story tellers I have ever met & in todays episode, we dive deep into a recent journey he had utilizing the trifecta of MDMA, psilocybin & intramuscular ketamine. As you'll hear, he recently attended a brand new center called the Awaken center that has opened up in Austin that has incredible staff on hand, medical teams, etc. & to say his journey was profound would be an understatement, but I'll save the details as a surprise for you to uncover as you tune in. Purchase Adam's products & receive a 15% discount by using code “SPRAGUE15” at checkout at the link below

What happens when an artist watches the same show 84 times over three decades? Something magical emerges at the intersection of art, ritual, and the sacred.Captain Frodo and juggler Jay Gilligan dive deep into the fascinating psychology of repeated viewing, exploring why we'll happily listen to songs hundreds of times but typically see a live performance just once. This conversation challenges our cultural assumptions about consumption while revealing how each viewing of the same performance can uncover new layers of meaning, detail, and artistic intention.The discussion takes unexpected turns through the landscape of artistic development, questioning whether isolation or immersion best serves creative growth. Jay's incredible story of watching a VHS recording of Cirque du Soleil's Mystere daily for an entire year becomes a lens through which to examine ritual, meaning-making, and the spiritual dimensions of performance. When does a theatrical experience transcend entertainment and become something akin to church?For performers, this episode offers profound insights about taking your craft seriously, understanding your lineage, and finding depth in repetition. For audiences, it provides a new way of appreciating live performance—not as a one-time experience but as a potentially sacred ritual that rewards those who return with open hearts and curious minds.Whether you're a seasoned performer or simply someone who appreciates the magic of live entertainment, this conversation will transform how you think about the performances you create or witness. Captain Frodo's heartfelt reflections on the privilege of performing remind us all that great art isn't just what happens on stage—it's the invisible connection created between performer and audience that makes each moment unique, even when performing the same act for the thousandth time.Support the show...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Bernardo Huberman, Ph.D., a research physicist, expert on quantum networks, and vice president of CableLabs' Next-Gen Systems. We discuss his journey into science, beginning in South America, how a curiosity about physics led him to the United States, and how his hunger for studying novel problems guided him into fields like physics, computer science, biology, economics, and, most recently, quantum computing. He explains relativity theory, chaos theory, fractals, and quantum internet in terms anyone can understand. We explore how curiosity has continually guided his decisions about what to study and how to live, and how researching hard, even abstract, problems can serve as a model for staying grounded and enjoying everyday life.
