Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this deeply personal installment of What's Your Spiritual Story, Jerry L. Martin speaks with Dr. Stephen Spector, professor of English, scholar of religion and literature, and author, for a profound conversation about spiritual experience, suffering, miracles, the Bible, and the changing nature of God.Spector recounts the moment that transformed his life forever. At fifteen years old, after his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given only weeks to live, he made a bargain with God. What followed would shape his spiritual life, his understanding of faith, and his lifelong relationship with scripture.Drawing from his background in medieval literature, biblical interpretation, psychology, and Jewish thought, Dr. Spector explores the Bible not only as sacred text, but as a living literary and psychological journey. Together, he and Jerry discuss Genesis, trauma, forgiveness, Jewish identity, evangelical support for Israel, Jewish-Christian dialogue, Ethiopian Jews, Isaac's suffering, the problem of evil, and the surprising idea that God may grow and change through relationship with humanity.This episode is thoughtful, intellectually rich, emotionally honest, and deeply human — ideal for listeners interested in spirituality, theology, religion, philosophy, biblical interpretation, spiritual transformation, and the search for meaning.What does it mean to wrestle with God? Can suffering transform us? And what happens when we begin reading scripture not as distant history, but as a living story about becoming human?Join the conversation on the Ultimate Questions Substack: Does each of us have a personal calling that responds to something beyond ourselves?Get the books:Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial AgeGod: An Autobiography, As Told to a PhilosopherOther Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:Radically Personal: Reflections on lived experience, divine encounter, and personal vocation, drawing on a seeker-centered approach to spirituality in a new Axial Age.From God to Jerry to You: Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue: Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story: Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind: Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God: A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.The Life Wisdom Project: Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.What's On Your Mind: Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Share Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

In episode 349 of DCP - Mike, Dennis & James talk about "The high of a spiritual experience”. As they share their experience, strength & hope with you in their journey of recovery.

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Ilia Delio speaks with neurotheologian Shaleen Kendrick about neuroscience, contemplative practice, and the biology of spiritual experience. Shaleen shares her journey from conservative evangelical ministry through deconstruction, suffering, and contemplative prayer into the emerging field of neurotheology.Together, Ilia and Shaleen explore how religious experience is not separate from the body but mediated through it. They consider how God-language, belief, prayer, trauma, neuroplasticity, and contemplative practice all shape the brain and body—and how changing our images of God can change the very neural pathways through which we experience reality.Later in the episode, they discuss the resistance many theologians have to locating spiritual experience in neurobiology, the promise and complexity of psychedelics and healing, and the growing scientific evidence that spirituality is an innate human capacity. Rather than reducing God to biology, this conversation asks what becomes possible when we understand the body as the living temple of divine encounter.ABOUT SHALEEN KENDRICKRev. Dr. Shaleen Kendrick, ThD, is an emerging neurotheologian who developed the Neuro-Relational Integration™ (NRI) model—demonstrating how conscious integration across Mind–Body–Spirit neural systems can facilitate rapid adaptive evolution in how we think, act, and relate to ourselves, others, and the challenges of our time. NRI integrates neuroscience with liberation theology to show that through daily wholeness-making practices we can expand our human capacity and create new abilities that nurture not just individual flourishing but transform the systems we live in. She serves companies, practitioners, and faith communities, translating evolutionary spirituality into embodied practice—because the world needs humans who can evolve as quickly as our challenges emerge. This is Human Evolution in Practice. Join us for the Center's 10th Anniversary Conference, November 9–11 in Villanova, Pennsylvania, with a virtual option available.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Scott Wolter, Templar Secrets, the Yeshua Scroll, and the Return of the Divine Feminine James Gilliland Introduces a Conversation About Hidden History In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland opens by acknowledging that many people may be feeling emotionally or physically affected by what he describes as intense solar and energetic activity reaching the planet. He then welcomes guest Scott Wolter, describing him as a forensic geologist, television host, author, and researcher of controversial artifacts, the Knights Templar, Freemasonry, and alternative interpretations of North American history. Scott begins by discussing his latest book, which he says is based on family-held journals documenting four centuries of Templar history and the fate of what he identifies as the Templar treasure. The Knights Templar and a Suppressed Spiritual Tradition Scott presents his understanding of the Knights Templar as more than a medieval military order associated with the Catholic Church. According to him, the order's inner leadership followed a Gnostic Christian tradition rooted in Jesus, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, and an older sacred lineage that honored the feminine and regarded male and female as equal expressions of the divine. He describes the Templars' suppression in the early fourteenth century, their alleged continuation through later leadership and documents, and his own initiation into a modern branch of the tradition. Scott says his present role is not to carry a sword, but to use words and actions to educate people about what he believes are concealed historical truths. Indigenous Connections, Sacred Feminine Values, and North American Evidence The conversation moves to Scott's belief that Templars traveled to North America and formed relationships with Indigenous peoples. He contrasts them with earlier Vikings, whom he says did not respect Indigenous culture, while claiming that the Templars shared spiritual principles involving sacred rituals, brotherhood, and honor for the divine feminine. He connects this interpretation to his work on the Kensington Rune Stone, which he regards as a Templar land claim and as evidence that the order reached Minnesota. James and Scott agree that mainstream historical, academic, religious, and governmental institutions often preserve controlled narratives while dismissing evidence or experiences that do not fit accepted explanations. Mary, Spiritual Experiences, and the Divine Feminine James shares personal spiritual experiences, including a childhood encounter he believes involved Mother Mary when he was critically ill and later photographic evidence he says depicts Mary and other beings appearing during gatherings. He explains that the message he received from Mary was that she was not limited to Catholicism but was present for all children. Scott responds by describing his own encounter with a female spiritual presence and his friendship with another experiencer who, he says, encountered the same being. The two men discuss the emergence of the divine feminine, the need for spiritual balance, and their belief that feminine spiritual power is especially significant amid present-day harm toward children and humanity. The Scroll's Message About Yeshua, Mary Magdalene, and Divinity Within A central portion of the episode concerns a scroll Scott says he helped decode and publicize through interviews and podcasts. Scott describes the scroll as containing messages attributed to Yeshua, including the claim that he was “not entirely human,” survived after being placed in a family tomb, healed himself, was freed by his wife, traveled north, taught a dual-gendered understanding of God, fathered two children, later returned to Jerusalem, and eventually ascended in spirit while his body was placed in a family tomb. James interprets these ideas through his own teachings about extraterrestrial lineage, Mary's spiritual genetics, archangels as nonhuman beings, and a divine intervention involved in Yeshua's birth. Both say the scroll validates their view that the divine is within every person, that the sacred feminine and masculine belong together, and that teachings of unity have been obscured by patriarchal religious systems. Critical Thinking, Collective Consciousness, and the Coming Shift Scott and James also discuss opposition they have faced from academics, religious critics, and people who dismiss unconventional research or spiritual experiences. Scott defends his forensic background and argues that physical evidence should be examined publicly rather than rejected because it conflicts with conventional history. James connects this to his own experiences with unidentified craft, beings, healings, and spiritual messages. Toward the end, Scott asks James about a future date and spiritual event associated with Yeshua; James says he expects a major energetic or consciousness shift rather than a literal physical return. The episode closes with both men encouraging open-mindedness, love, pure intention, personal transformation, and a willingness to move beyond fear and division during a period they believe is revealing hidden truths and expanding human consciousness.

Former mission president Bart Warner and his former missionary James Logan explore the dynamics, patterns, and spiritual impact of mentorship. Drawing from their shared history in the Texas Dallas Mission and their current professional collaboration, they discuss how deliberate interpersonal guidance fosters long-term progression. They focus on overcoming personal stagnation by cultivating effective mentor-mentee relationships to strengthen individuals and build Zion.

A Great Mentee Attracts a Great Mentor: Finding guidance begins with the posture of the learner. True mentorship thrives when a mentee actively desires progression, remains coachable, and seeks out wisdom during times of critical personal or spiritual need. Strict Obedience Unlocks Spiritual Momentum: Reflecting on James’s early mission struggles, the guests highlight how committing to precise alignment with established standards (like the missionary handbook) for even one week can completely shift an individual’s momentum and open doors to transformative experiences. The Dual Impact of Mentorship: True guidance is a mutual blessing. While the mentee receives navigation and structural metrics to succeed, the mentor is simultaneously sharped, humbled, and revitalized by watching the next generation progress. Leadership Applications Intervene with High-Expectation Challenges: When a ward member or missionary wants to give up, leaders can follow Bart’s example by offering a short-term, clear challenge rooted in exact covenant precision rather than immediately lowering expectations. Intentionally Bridge Generation Gaps: Leaders can structurally pair experienced members with younger adults in callings, ward council configurations, or ministering assignments to ensure that lived spiritual and temporal wisdom is actively transferred.

If you're being honest, you know something has shifted in this culture. Most of us feel it even if we can't name it. The language has changed, the standards have changed, emotional performance has replaced principled conviction, and the men willing to hold a hard line are being told to sit down and apologize. Today's guest, Dale Partridge, doesn't apologize. And. He makes the case for why you shouldn't either. We cover the philosophical and cultural forces driving the effeminization of men and society, why a man without a defined worldview is a man who can be pushed around, the political and moral landscape men are being asked to navigate right now, and what it practically looks like to reclaim the kind of masculinity this culture is working overtime to erase. We don't pull punches on this one.

Send us Fan MailIn this returning visit to the Spiritually Inspired Show, poet, artist, and holistic community builder Flowing River shares how three years of dedicated mantra meditation under a single spiritual teacher — Bahador Sangjee — fundamentally transformed his understanding of the spiritual path. Drawing on metaphors of mountain trails, digging one hole, and the wisdom of enlightened sages from Buddha to Guru Nanak to Lao Tzu, he makes the case that simplicity, devotion, and depth are far more powerful than the "rainbow path" of collecting spiritual experiences across many traditions. He weaves together his 19-year digital marketing background, his disillusionment with the ego-driven business world, the dangers of AI dependence, the science of tea and its L-theanine chemistry, and the philosophy behind Drishti House — his Daoist tea ceremony space in Santa Barbara — into a single, unified vision: that true creativity, true healing, and true leadership all flow from the same source — the willingness to go inward, stay still, and surrender to what is already within you.

“Your highest levels of protection are always going to be two things, your belief and your awareness.”In this Earth Xperience conversation, Dani talks with Eloheem Ali about spiritual experiences, sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, belief systems, God, purpose, love, marriage, and what it means to be human. Eloheem shares how seeing spirits and having vivid dream experiences shaped the way he understands reality, while also explaining the Philosophy of Order and his belief that humanity has drifted from its deeper purpose. The conversation moves through Christianity, spiritual interpretation, fear, consciousness, Genesis, stewardship, and the idea that awareness can change how we experience both the unseen and everyday life.Questions to explore from this conversation:What parts of your belief system came from personal experience, and what parts came from what you were taught?When something feels spiritual, how do you decide whether to fear it, question it, or learn from it?What does purpose look like in your life right now, and how do you know when you are in alignment with it?Do your current ideas about love, marriage, community, and freedom come from your own values or from the world around you?Search for Eloheem AliFind Eloheem Ali at thephilosophyoforder.com and school.com/the philosophy of order.

I sat down with Daniel Donato at the lovely Russell Hotel in Nashville, and the resulting conversation was one of the most unique I've had here on Roadcase. Daniel is both a deep thinker and a truly talented musician, and in this interview we explore the metaphysics of live performance — and just what it means to explore the outer limits of both music and consciousness. Daniel also talks to me about his own experience and growth as an individual, and how his faith and a belief in a higher force (physical and otherwise) drives him and keeps him focused on the higher meaning of his what he views as his personal mission.Daniel is super personable, fun, and really down for a great talk — we really go deep down the philosophical road together on this one — and I can't wait for you to give this amazing interview a listen!!  Make sure to give a listen to Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country's latest album, Horizons, and go check out these guys do their thing at a venue near you!!===================================Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg05:05 The Importance of Presence in Performance08:51 Reflections on Milestones and Achievements13:02 The Journey of Growth and Experience18:12 Spirituality and the Creative Process22:23 The Role of the Artist in Society27:34 The Collective Experience of Music32:22 Personal Growth and Humility37:12 Navigating the Music Industry42:16 The Nature of Belief and Morality47:06 Conclusion and Future Endeavors52:16 Defining Cosmic Country55:50 Creating a Unique Sound01:03:24 The Journey of Self-Discovery01:09:25 Surprises in the Music Industry01:16:48 The Power of Dedicated Fans01:20:09 Grassroots Community Building01:26:13 Experiencing Live Music01:35:56 Looking Ahead: Upcoming Shows  01:40:15 Episode Outro with Host Josh Rosenberg===================================For more infomation on Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country click hereThe Ryman Auditorium - https://ryman.comSouth by Southwest Festival - https://www.sxsw.comDaniel Base platform - click hereMike Campbell's Book "Heartbreaker" click here===================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

This series address what some of us in recovery refer to as “the God problem.”  In episode 1 "Bill Wilson's Spiritual Experiences" we explore: Does God exist? Does God really care about us – and maybe more honestly and specifically, does God care about me and mine?People have been asking these questions for as long as human beings have been on this earth but for us “real” alcoholics and addicts whose lives depend on finding a spiritual solution to our addiction death sentence, it's more than a matter of speculation.Bill Wilson was one of those men in such desperate need. In this episode Fr. Bill traces some of the lesser-known events that preceded Bill Wilson's famous “White Light” experience in detox. Through these encounters the door of Bill's mind and heart can be seen opening to a divine, healing Presence that would soon bring about his release from addiction. Future episodes will attempt to open inner doors for addicts and alcoholics struggling with the spiritual approach used in 12-Step recovery.Show notes:Bill W. My First 40 Years

Every artist hits a moment where the question isn't how do I grow — it's what do I stand for now. This is our third time sitting down with King Topher, but this conversation marks a real next chapter. Because what started as a private prayer call for the music industry back in 2019 has quietly evolved into his latest project: Rave Jesus. At its core, this isn't about changing lanes — it's about expanding the mission. Taking everything he's built in dance music and asking a bigger question: what does it look like when purpose, faith, and club culture exist in the same space? Rave Jesus reflects a desire to see God's presence permeate every corner of the music world — regardless of what you believe, we have all felt something special on the dance floor. T oday, we're unpacking the strategy, the responsibility, and the reality of stepping into a new chapter — creatively, professionally, and publicly. Welcome back to the show… King Topher.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Can multiple religions be true at the same time? Married philosophers, Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal, explore one of the most challenging questions about God and ultimate reality.They reflect on the idea that different cultures are given different spiritual tasks. The Hebrew focus on history and covenant stands alongside India's inward contemplative traditions, showing that divine truth unfolds in different ways across civilizations.Jerry explains that Theology Without Walls must take lived spiritual experience seriously. Personal transformation, moments of divine connection, and the individual spiritual journey are essential data for understanding spiritual reality.Abigail recalls her intense yoga practice of suspended breath and reflects on what that path taught her. She also shares a vivid memory involving Thomas Altizer, the theologian associated with the “God is dead” movement and explores the difference between politeness and real engagement with ultimate questions. We are living at the beginning of a New Axial Age, a time when the world's religions now meet directly. The conversation is candid, thoughtful, and deeply personal, like listening in on two married philosophers as they connect lifelong spiritual experience with some of the biggest questions of our time. Get the books: Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age | God: An Autobiography, As Told to a PhilosopherOther Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:Radically Personal: Reflections on lived experience, divine encounter, and personal vocation, drawing on a seeker-centered approach to spirituality in a new Axial Age.From God to Jerry to You: Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue: Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story: Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind: Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God: A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.The Life Wisdom Project: Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.What's On Your Mind: Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay Connected: questions@godanautobiography.comShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

In this episode, I'm finally telling the full story of the spiritual experience that changed my personality and my entire approach to life. It's the story of a dream I had about my late “Uncle” Donald — a man who wasn't biologically related to me, but who was woven into the fabric of my family and my life in a way that's hard to put into words. He was my parents' best friend, the person who introduced them to one another, and someone who felt just as much like family as any blood relative.After he passed away suddenly in 2011, something happened that completely changed the way I understand the world. The night of his funeral, I had a dream that felt different from any dream I'd ever had before — one that has stuck with me more than a decade later.In this episode, I talk about that dream, the strange and meaningful signs that followed, and why I believe he stayed with me (and my family) for a decade after he passed. I share how those signs showed up at major moments in my life — my career, my wedding, becoming a mother — and how they continue to shape the way I move through the world today.This story touches on loss, spirituality, dreams, and the ways we stay connected to the people we love, even after they're gone. I know this kind of story isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's okay. But for me, it's brought comfort, peace, and a deeper sense of connection to life itself.If you've ever lost someone and wished for a sign, or wondered whether the people we love ever really leave us, I hope this episode resonates with you.Thank you for being here and letting me share this part of my story.Sponsors:Bird&Be: Visit birdandbe.com and use code REALSTUFF for 15% off your first purchase.Laundry Sauce: Get 20% off your entire order at Laundry Sauce with code REALSTUFF at laundrysauce.com/REALSTUFFPique: Unlock 20% off and begin your journey toward sustained wellness today at Piquelife.com/REALSTUFFSKIMS: Shop SKIMS Fits Everybody collection at skims.com/realstuffBayer: Check out Bayer's trusted lineup of products, available at Walmart, CVS, Amazon, and Walgreens.Watch this episode in video form on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmevEcbh5h5FEX0pazPEtN86t7eb2OgX To apply to be a guest on the show, visit luciefink.com/apply and send us your story.

When setting off on any journey, it's best to know your intended destination in advance. On the 12th Step journey, to use the Big Book's original wording, that means following the 12 Steps to arrive at a transformational spiritual experience - one powerful enough to overcome addiction. Of course, the wording of the 12th Step was soon changed to “a spiritual awakening” not wanting to scare newcomers away. But when Bill Wilson tried changing it back to the original, AA wouldn't let him.This single episode describes the “psychic change” the Steps are intended to bring about using three quotes to describe the experience. First, a definition that originated with William James in his Varieties of Religious Experience; second, the description contained in the Big Book; and finally, a helpful quote from Jungian author Robert A. Johnson's book Transformation.  These quotes are contained in a handout found in the show notes.Show notes: What Is a Psychic Change or Spiritual ExperienceQuantum Change by Professor William MillerTransformation by Robert A.

Arcana Coelestia 3218. When angels are stirred by affections and at the same time are discussing these, such things manifest themselves among spirits in the lower sphere as representative types of animals. When the discussion concerns good affections, beautiful, gentle, and useful animals emerge such as those used in sacrifices in the Divine representative worship within the Jewish Church — such as lambs, sheep, kids, she-goats, rams, he-goats, calves, young bulls, and oxen. And whatever is seen at any time on the animal represents some mental image in the angels’ thought, which upright spirits are also allowed to perceive. From this one may see what was meant by the animals in the religious observances of the Jewish Church, and what by the same animals when mentioned in the Word, namely affections, 1823, 2179, 2180. But when angels’ discussion is about evil affections it is represented by offensive, vicious creatures serving no use, such as tigers, bears, wolves, scorpions, serpents, rats, and so on, even as such affections are also meant by these in the Word. Spiritual Experiences 716. Moreover, they who even attempt to gain entry into heaven under a shining white, angelic appearance, are turned at once into animal shapes befitting the disposition of each one. These were likewise shown to me. For the lower mind, or attitudes, or the passions, are pictured in the heaven of spirits by animals, even though they are nothing but passions and their varieties, thus shaped. So some vaguely appeared to me as birds, some as animals — but I was surprised that they were white. This happened to show that they wanted to counterfeit a shining white angel. 1748, 10 February. AC 1379… when spirits walk or are removed and advance from one place to another — occurrences witnessed very frequently — nothing else than changes of state are taking place. That is, such changes appear in the world of spirits as changes of place, but in heaven as changes of state. The same applies to many other things that are representative and present themselves visually there.  AC 5573. A certain spirit was once present, but was invisible over my head. I was led to perceive his presence from a stench of burnt horn or bone and from stinking teeth. After that a large crowd looking like a cloud appeared on the scene, coming up from below towards a higher position behind my back. These too were invisible; and they came to a halt above my head. I assumed that their invisibility was due to their own cleverness. I was told however that where the spiritual sphere obtained they were not visible, but where the natural sphere did so they were visible. They were therefore called ‘the invisible natural ones’. Regarding those spirits let me record first the disclosure that they endeavoured in a most zealous, cunning, and skillful manner to prevent any exposure at all of themselves. Having this end in view they also knew how to take away from other people the ideas they possessed and to replace these with different ones with which they prevented their own disclosure. Their endeavour to do this lasted for quite a long time. From all this I was led to see that during their lifetime those spirits had been the kind of people who did not want any of their actions or thought to be exposed, which they achieved by assuming a different countenance and a different manner of speaking. Nevertheless they had not employed any kind of pretence so as to lie and deceive. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this episode of Radically Personal, Jerry L. Martin turns to the work of American philosopher and psychologist William James to explore how divine reality is encountered in lived experience. Drawing from The Varieties of Religious Experience, Jerry reflects on James's influence on the philosophy of religion and his claim that religion begins not with doctrines or institutions, but with personal experience—with what happens in the depths of a human life.This conversation examines how experience functions as a window onto reality, why feelings and intuitions matter for discernment, and how religious and spiritual experience may reveal divine presence not as an object we perceive, but as a reality we participate in. Jerry explores prayer as relationship, the limits of abstract theory, and the importance of remaining open to fleeting, partial, and even unsystematic glimpses of meaning.Radically Personal invites listeners into a seeker-centered approach to spirituality—one that trusts experience, honors personal vocation, and explores how God may still speak within the drama of everyday life._______________Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:Radically Personal – Reflections on lived experience, divine encounter, and personal vocation, drawing on a seeker-centered approach to spirituality in a new Axial Age.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. _______________Stay ConnectedShare your thoughts or questions: questions@godandautobiography.comGet the books:  Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age God: An Autobiography, As Told to a PhilosopherShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In Episode 263 of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, philosopher Jerry L. Martin reflects on one of the most enduring and difficult questions in philosophy and theology: the problem of evil.In this From God to Jerry to You episode, Jerry describes a pivotal moment near the end of his spiritual journey, when what he calls the “impossible puzzle” finally came together. Drawing on John D. Levinson's Creation and the Persistence of Evil, Jerry explains how God affirmed a radical insight—that the world, and even God's presence within it, can be understood as incomplete and still unfolding.The episode introduces two complementary ways of seeing reality: a horizontal perspective, in which struggle, disorder, and moral effort unfold over time, and a vertical perspective, in which ultimate meaning, goodness, and victory are already present. Through this lens, human action—acts of obedience, love, and partnership with God—becomes essential to the healing and completion of the world.Jerry also reflects on the Kingdom of God, not as a distant future event, but as a living reality made present through love. Seen in this light, Jesus is not merely a historical figure, but a cosmic presence—one who embodies God's full presence in the world and serves as a conduit to the Kingdom of God.This episode offers a thoughtful, non-reductionist approach to suffering, meaning, and faith, and will resonate with listeners wrestling with the limits of purely material explanations of reality.Listen, reflect, and experience the world from God's perspective — as it was told to a philosopher.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedRead the book: God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher at godanautobiography.com or AmazonShare your questions and reflections: questions@godanautobiography.comSubscribe and lShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Carol Services 2025: Spiritual Experiences

How many of the beliefs shaping your identity as a woman are truly yours, and how many were planted by a culture that profits from your self-doubt?Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Amanda Hanson, Psychologist, Author, and Transformative Speaker, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 786, to explore why so many women feel broken inside a culture designed to keep them small, how beliefs from our lineage shape identity, how aging awakens feminine truth, and what it means to become a woman who leads from grounded power instead of inherited pain.Magnetic: A Women-Only Immersive ExperienceIn just 2 days, you will bring back your magnetic energy, build an unshakable foundation of self-worth, and properly process years of suppressed pain.No woman is broken. Most are just unmothered. And sometimes, even the women who seem to have it all: success, intelligence, ambition... find themselves face to face with an invisible wall.They've read the books, gone to therapy, attended the retreats... But something is still missing. What's missing is YOU. Not the woman who is holding it all together because no one else will. Not the woman who's high-achieving, high-functioning, but is profoundly neglected.

A lecture given at L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, Massachusetts. For more information, visit https://southboroughlabri.org/ by Ben Keyes The opening lecture of the Southborough L'Abri Fall 2025 Theme Weekend: "The Glory and Challenge of Ordinary Humanness." "The model of the Christian life is the recovery of ordinary human experience, says the L'Abri classic Being Human: The Nature of Spiritual Experience. Work, play, study, eating, music, art, gardens, repairs, sleep, sex, friendship, kinship, conversation, laughter, hospitality...all these things are deeply human and therefore have a place in a full understanding of Christian spirituality. But there are forces in our current individualistic, tech-driven society that threaten to dehumanize us. The ordinary activities of human life, of integral importance to God and of great spiritual value when offered to Him, are given less and less of our time, energy, and attention. Today, to simply be human is increasingly an act of resistance and a challenge to a rapidly changing world. The Copyright for all material on the podcast is held by L'Abri Fellowship.

We said goodbye to Jane Goodall, who passed away yesterday at 91 after a life that inspired millions. I feel so grateful to have had the chance to speak with her back in July 2022, a conversation I'll never forget. Today, in honour of her incredible legacy, I want to re-share it with you. ___________________________________________________________________ The legendary Jane Goodall is a scientist, conservationist and humanitarian, whose 60-year study of wild chimpanzees in Tanzania challenged and overturned much of the conventional scientific thinking at the time. Her tireless work over the years - she is now 88 - has won her a legion of admirers, including David Attenborough, Leonardo di Caprio, Prince Harry and Greta Thunberg who calls Goodall ‘a true hero'. She joins me to talk about the resilience of hope, whether chimpanzees have a sense of failure, her own failures in language, correspondence and motherhood, and her belief in the next generation. This was one of the most enlightening podcast interviews I've ever had the privilege of doing.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.

What if the real work of leadership wasn't about climbing higher, but going deeper into the soul, the body, and the sacred responsibility of showing up fully alive? In this soul-stirring conversation on The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Nathanael Chawkin for a deep dive into the sacred masculine, conscious leadership, and the power of integration. From personal initiations through plant medicine to the spiritual responsibility of leading in the modern world, this episode explores what it means to live a wholehearted, embodied life. Nathanael shares insights from his work guiding men through transformational rites of passage, and challenges the performative narratives of power and success. They also reflect on the rise of conscious capitalism, the illusion of enlightenment, and the true crucibles of growth—like marriage, fatherhood, and leadership itself.  In this episode, Darius and Nathanael will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Background (02:57) The Journey of Fatherhood (05:30) Exploring Masculinity and Leadership (08:34) The Role of Plant Medicine in Personal Growth (11:29) Integration and Spiritual Development (14:11) Personal Experiences with Plant Medicine (24:57) Exploring Plant Medicines and Spiritual Experiences (30:13) The Shift from Materialism to Conscious Leadership (36:56) Conscious Capitalism and the Role of Guardianship (42:46) Integrating Spirituality and Material Life (50:23) The Pathways of Development in Leadership Nathanael Chawkin is a modern mystic, master coach, and martial arts instructor with over 15 years of experience guiding executives and leaders through transformational growth. He is the founder of Guardian Training, a men's work methodology that blends MMA, conflict resolution, and depth psychology to awaken the sacred masculine. In 2021, he launched Awakening Leadership, a plant medicine journey for conscious leaders, and in 2025, co-founded Temple of The Living Truth with his life partner Elizabeth—a priestess of the sacred feminine. Together, they are building a decentralized spiritual community rooted in direct mystical experience. Featured in Entrepreneur and The Financial Times, Nathanael brings a uniquely embodied and integrative lens to leadership, spirituality, and human potential.

Spiritual liberation is not about attaining extraordinary experiences; it is about releasing the internal blockages that keep us from a permanent state of well-being. The cause of suffering is not life—it is our belief that life must be what we want in order for us to be okay. We can learn to let go of this constant sense of lacking by releasing the stored blockages from our past. When this purification takes place, we become open, peaceful, and capable of living with unconditional joy regardless of circumstances. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.
