As we refresh our energies after a long summer, Mark Crego and LDF host Dan Wotherspoon take stock a bit about Latter-day Faith, its mission, and what its plans are going forward, including new kinds of offerings ahead. This is an unusual episode in that it contains a conversation that the two were having that Mark suddenly started recording. In addition to reaffirming what they think the podcast and community is about, including why they think “Latter-day” is still an appropriate title, their discussion of faith took them into a detour about Jesus and in what ways his life and emphases can be empowering if seen in a broader way than as “Son of God.” They move to the new things ahead, including a new series, "Women Outside the Garden" hosted by Terri Petersen, and then finish with a few reflections on spiritual practices and how their effect on us can help us maintain faith and centering in this changing, confusing, and unstable world. Listen in to this peek into the kinds of things Mark and Dan talk about when no one else is around and aren't planned out in advance. Enjoy!

What if channeling wasn't something reserved for a “chosen few,” but a practice available to all of us?In this episode, Sarah shares her personal journey with channeling—how it intersects with creativity, intuition, and flow—and why she believes everyone can access this ability. From surrendering to what wants to come through, to using channeling as a tool in writing, marketing, and spiritual practice, this is a deep dive into the potential that opens when we stop pushing and start allowing.You'll hear:Why Sarah believes channeling is for everyoneHow creativity and channeling mirror each otherThe difference between pushing vs. flowing in work and lifeWhy consistent practice matters more than “the gift”How channeling can help us feel less alone and more connectedUpcoming Events:September 6, 2025 + September 7, 2025: Clear Channels Online Workshop – https://moon-studio.co/products/clear-channels-fall-2025?variant=50100396327207Join Our Community:Join the Moon Studio Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themoonstudioBuy the 2025 Many Moons Lunar Planner: https://moon-studio.co/collections/all-products-excluding-route/products/many-moons-2025Subscribe to our newsletter: https://moon-studio.co/pages/newsletterFind Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gottesss/
The Buddha said that the minds of his followers should "constantly, day and night, delight in spiritual practice." But what practice can we stitch into the fabric of ordinary days? This fan-favorite epsiode explores a spiritual thread that can run through work, family, errands, and all the passing moments that make up our lives. Cherishing others requires no shrine, no retreat, no special circumstance—only a special intention. To cherish another means we think and act on this intention, "Your happiness matters. I will work for your happiness." Whether it's the barista, a child, a colleague, or a stranger in the grocery store, cherishing others transforms every interaction into a step on the spiritual path. Cherishing others is loving-kindness, or metta, in action. This practice softens the heart. It also dismantles the walls of self-cherishing (selfishness), our habit of "me first" that actually gives rise to our own pain. The Buddha taught that cherishing others is the root of all good qualities, from patience to compassion, and the sacred root from which enlightenment eventually blossoms. The Buddha also taught that cherishing others helps solve problems and creates the causes of happiness (through creating good karma). And science, centuries later, agrees. A 2024 study involving three countries and 4,000 people found that even one act of kindness a week toward others decreased loneliness, social anxiety, neighborhood conflict, and isolation. Even our bodies rejoice when we cherish others. Researchers at the University of British Columbia found that people who regularly performed kind acts had lower blood pressure and reduced inflammatory markers—key factors in long-term health. And a study from Carnegie Mellon University showed that offering support to loved ones was linked to lower cortisol levels and improved immune response. Cherishing others is beneficial for the mind and weaves joy into everyday life. What if, day and night, we delighted in this?

In reflecting on 17 years of teaching the Saturday Afternoon Sit, Mary also talks about the invitation to check in with our spiritual practice every decade or so. We often want to see immediate results to whatever we're doing, but deepening our spiritual practice and cultivating wisdom and compassion takes time. We may see some immediate results, but often liberation and freedom are a long game.Recorded August 30, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Take a couple of minutes out of your day to breathe, rest, and reflect. Focus on the positive things around you and the hope that lies before you. God's spirit is always with us, but sometimes hard to sense until we take the time to slow down and listen with intention. Awaken to God's Presence provides you that opportunity through guided reflections and spiritual practices allow you to be still. So, find a quiet spot or a place that just makes you feel safe and spend some time with yourself and with God. Hope is waiting.

What does it take to make the church a safer place for women's voices? This week Dr Alison is joined by husband-and-wife therapists Dr. Christy Bauman and Andrew Bauman, who are doing groundbreaking work at the intersection of women's stories, embodiment, and spiritual safety.

In the second half, Andrew shares from his extensive research, offering a vision for safe churches where power is shared, voices are honored, and healing is possible.

In this episode, you'll journey through the trials and tribulations faced by the Bodhisattva, who was born into wealth yet felt increasingly disconnected from the material world. As he sought to embody the perfection of equanimity, he chose to leave behind his riches and venture into a life of simplicity and self-discovery. Through his interactions with disrespectful children and wise villagers, we witness how he navigated the spectrum of human behavior, responding with a remarkable neutrality that teaches us how to approach both admiration and disdain with a tranquil heart. Join Margaret as she unpacks this enlightening tale, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own lives and the ways in which they can cultivate a sense of balance amid the inevitable chaos around them. Together, let's aspire to develop the same unshakeable equanimity that the Bodhisattva demonstrated, fostering a deeper understanding of our emotions and reactions.
This week, we share a sermon delivered by Rev. Bill Haley back in 2015. As the conclusion of a sermon series on whole-life stewardship, Bill challenges us to consider how being recipients of God's grace fundamentally alters our identities and our relationship to our possessions.

Our bodies need our attention. When stress comes knocking, we often don't realize how much we hold. We need a way to slow down and release the physical tension. Our guest Whitney Simpson discovered this need after a major medical crisis. Stretching and holding poses through yoga allowed her to be fully present in her skin while praying and meditating. A Christian spiritual director - she helps people work through practices that are attuned to their whole selves. Much of what we talk about on this episode has to do with slowing down and noticing what is happening in our bodies. It is tempting to ignore how our bodies keep the score, but ignoring doesn't offer what we need. Our bodies need our attention. In a stage of life where you may be caring for people above and below you in age, working hard at your paid job, and feeling new aches and pains, it is often easier to push aside physical discomfort or tension than to acknowledge it. This episode will remind you how to be present enough to notice what your body is carrying and how God can meet you in your movement and breath.

An audio reset when you need a BREIF moment of relief!Hey beloved,The Brain as an Antenna: The brain can be seen as an antenna, not a factory.It receives a deeper reality that is non-local and independent of matter.This challenges the traditional view that the brain solely produces thoughts and consciousness.Two Kinds of Awareness: There are two types of awareness: achieving awareness and awakened awareness.The former is about strategy and control, while the latter is a receptive, intuitive process that guides us toward a more meaningful and adventurous life.Spiritual Practice and Well-being: We are born with innate spiritual awareness, but it must be cultivated.Practices like prayer and meditation can strengthen the "awakened brain."A strong personal spirituality is the greatest source of resilience and is a key factor in combating what the speaker calls "diseases of despair," such as addiction and depression.The Power of Intuition: Trusting our inner wisdom, intuition, and synchronicities is the entry point to a spiritual path.These signals are real and can guide us to new opportunities, even when our original plans fail.A "stuck red door" can lead to a "wide-open yellow door" that is better than we could have ever imagined.Blue Skies, Kassandra Get full access to The Light Between at thelightbetween.substack.com/subscribe

DateAugust 10, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we wrestle with that universal ache of unfinished business—from summer bucket lists to life's deeper longings. Drawing from personal experience and the ancient wisdom of Hebrews 11, we discover something liberating: faith isn't about checking off every box, but about trusting God in the midst of our incompleteness. Through the story of Abraham and Sarah, we learn that the divine often shows up not in our achievements, but in life's ordinary, unpolished moments—transforming our "undone" into holy ground where grace and humanity meet.

As part of a series on whole-life stewardship, Bill draws from 1 Timothy to cast a vision for how to be responsible stewards of our sin.

In this nourishing conversation, I'm joined by my dear friend and Jivamukti yoga teacher Rebecca Munro to explore the world of Tarot—not as a fortune-telling gimmick, but as a beautiful mirror into our subconscious and a playful, intuitive tool for self-discovery.Rebecca shares her personal journey: from creative childhood to losing touch with that spark in early adulthood, and then finding her way back—through yoga, through Tarot, and through embracing her own “weirdness.” We talk about breaking the stigma around spiritual practices, using Tarot for self-inquiry, and learning to trust your intuition as a guiding force. You'll hear about:The origins of Tarot and how it evolved from a card game to a spiritual toolTarot as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mindWhy embracing your weirdness might just be your superpowerPractical tips if you're curious (or skeptical) about starting with TarotRebecca's wisdom flows far beyond the cards—into grounding practices, holding space for others, and finding a creative life that feels true to you. Whether you're Tarot-curious, spiritually skeptical, or already in love with the cards, this episode will leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and maybe ready to pull a card yourself.Connect with Rebecca Munro:InstagramTikTok—Take a Moment to Support the Podcast: If you enjoyed this conversation, follow Modern Creativity and leave a short review.

Meditation alone cannot bring lasting peace into this world. This is because we return from meditation to the same deeply seated, unresolved disturbances we've been storing in the mind. True liberation comes by relaxing through and releasing these disturbances rather than struggling with them on a daily basis. As we purify the mind, divine energy (Shakti) rises naturally, lifting our consciousness into our true nature—oneness with all of creation. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.

What does it matter whether or not we have a spiritual practice? Does that truly make a difference as we fight for collective liberation? The short answer: yes! The longer answer is in this week's episode. How do spiritual practices help us with our activism? Why is it important for us to connect with our interior world? How do we even do that? Tune into this week's episode where I offer some practices to help fortify us as empire crumbles and we help midwife the birth of a liberated world.Today's poems/ Books mentioned:Tarot/Oracle Card: The Hangman (Reversed) and The Two of Pentacles (Reversed)“If You Don't Stop That” by Hafiz=============== Courses / Exclusive Content / Book Mentioned:Subscribe to mailing list + community: suryagian.com/subscribe and get the 7-day meditation challenge, “Spark Joy in Chaos”Subscribe to “Adventures in Midlife” newsletter: leslieann.substack.comInstagram: @leslieannhobayan Email: leslieann@suryagian.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxAeQWRRsSo5E7PBJdZUeoEAYXnAtuyRyKundalini Yoga Classes: https://www.suryagian.com/anchor-amplify-kundaliniSpeak Your Truth: https://www.suryagian.com/speak-your-truth

In this soulful episode of The Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, host Michel Ai Reavis, closes out the July series, Transforming Your Money Relationship Through Your Soul Gifts, with a powerful and timely conversation about the spiritual art of receiving. Titled "Receiving as a Spiritual Practice: Expanding Your Money Container," this episode explores how allowing abundance in — not just money, but love, praise, and support — is a divine act of self-worth and alignment. Michel guides listeners through gentle, soul-nourishing reflections on how to shift from resistance to receptivity, reminding us that receiving is not selfish, but sacred.Through personal stories and inspired wisdom, Michel dives into the energetic and emotional blocks many spiritual entrepreneurs face when it comes to receiving. She introduces the concept of the "money container" and explains how our capacity to hold abundance is often shaped by inherited beliefs, nervous system responses, and internalized limitations. From lottery winners to ancestral patterns, she paints a relatable and compassionate picture of how money discomfort can show up — and more importantly, how it can be healed. With practical suggestions like nervous system regulation, hypnosis, and presence practices, listeners are encouraged to gently stretch their comfort zones and expand their energetic capacity for more.As the episode closes, Michel offers a beautiful affirmation, journal prompts, and a simple action step to help listeners integrate receiving as a daily practice. She lovingly reminds spiritual entrepreneurs that their mission thrives not in depletion, but in overflow — and that they are worthy of every good thing the Universe longs to give them. This episode is a soul-filled invitation to soften, to open, and to step into the fullness of divine support.

Episode 254 PREVIEW: Expect the Unexpected & Never Say Never (Full Episode on Patreon) | This is a preview of a subscriber-only episode from Aligned Access, my sacred space on Patreon where we go deeper than ever before.In this storytime-style episode, I share the wildly aligned (and slightly cinematic) moment a mystery man left a dozen roses and a handwritten note at my door… the same day I'd been vlogging about how men don't just show up at your front door. It was hilarious, heart-opening and more than anything: a powerful sign.We dive into manifestation, divine timing, why “birds before land” moments matter and how to trust the energetic breadcrumbs even when the full picture hasn't arrived. It's a reminder to stay open, surrender control and let yourself be surprised. Because anything is possible… and your desires might be closer than you think.

Happy Pride! Today is Pride Day here in Portland. Pride has been a source of confidence, self-respect and solidarity for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community for many years. Sounds like a spiritual practice we could all benefit from! [Oh, if you're not clear on the whole alphabet soup thing, don't worry, we'll explain.]
What does the heart of your creative process look like? The messy, magical, intuitive space where inspiration meets healing. So many of us have been conditioned to believe we're not creative because we didn't fit into a mold and this is a belief I once carried myself. Creativity for me has become not just an act of expression, but a spiritual practice and a healing tool. Whether you're a painter, a writer, a healer, or someone who's just beginning to explore your creative spark, your creativity becomes the most powerful when it's aligned with your essence. A few things we touch on in this episode: Letting inspiration flow when you step outside routine “Being stuck” is often just fear of choice Why reconnecting with your unique creative rhythm can transform not only what you make, but who you are.

WRITER • MYSTIC • CREATIVE • SPIRITUAL MENTOR Throughout my life I have been guided by the warrioress archetype, an independent female spirit whose primary purpose is to achieve freedom and sovereignty of her life. This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of LIFE for us all.

We have to tolerate the extremes in the world, and toleration is one of the ways that Krishna recommends throughout the Bhagavad Gītā to be steady in spiritual consciousness. Don't give in to the extremes and the changes of the external world. Also, notice that if you pursue the pleasure of the senses in this world, then the result of it will be—although it may feel like pleasure in the beginning—there'll be misery at the end, because you'll have to contend with the reaction to it. So, we remain neutral while we're in the body, and we go on with our spiritual duty. And as one does that, there's a sense of satisfaction, which is invaluable in this world, because nobody has it. It's very rare because you can only get it from the spiritual platform. You can't get it from having money. You can't get it from having a beautiful property somewhere. You can't get it from having freedom to fly all over the world. Any of these things don't bring lasting happiness; only if one has developed Krishna consciousness can one become happy, and it doesn't matter what the situation is externally. So, although this seems to be a very simple principle in a simple verse, it's one of the essential aspects of practicing spiritual life: learning how to tolerate the dualities and to go on with one's practice in spiritual life. And the final point I'll make is that consistency is king in spiritual practice. If you're able to be consistent, even if you start with a minimal practice, but you keep it up every day and do your quota that you've decided to do, then it will have its effect. And there's an example that someone once gave about how, when you make yogurt, does anybody here know how to make yogurt? You take a big pot of milk—let's just say it is a big pot, and call your life a big pot of milk. If you take a little yogurt that's already there and you put it in the milk, even if it's a little bit, you put it into the big pot of milk, and then you set the pot in a place with an even temperature, not too cold, not too hot, and you leave it overnight, a miracle happens. You come back and the whole pot turns to yogurt. So we have a lot of things going on in our lives, but if you can add that spiritual practice to the big pot of your life, then eventually the whole pot transforms, and everything about your life gets connected to Krishna consciousness. It doesn't mean you have to give up what you're doing. As an example here is Arjuna. He's a warrior, and therefore he has to fight. It's his duty. If you call somebody when you're getting attacked, who's supposed to be a police officer, and say, "Please help me," and they say, "Oh, no, sorry, I'm non-violent, I can't help you," a non-violent policeman or a violent priest are not wanted. Everyone has their duty to do; they have to do it. So we go on with whatever our duties are in life, but if we add this spiritual practice and do it consistently, then gradually, everything transforms. ----------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode, Zemirah interviews Gayan Gregory Long on how kirtan—a sacred music and chanting tradition—can serve as a powerful and transformative spiritual practice.
Hunter Witcraft discusses the spiritual practice of writing scripture as a means for going deeper into the Scriptures or as a method for being better equipped to share Christ with others.--Scriptures Explored: Deuteronomy 17:18, Hosea 2:14, Ezekiel 18, Mark 1:5; 13--I am married to Willa; we have two boys: Graham (3) and Benjamin (1). I have a M.Div. from Corban University, a MA in Christian Ministry from GCU, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Biblical Languages from GCU. The Bible is God's Word to us, and for that reason, it is important for us to understand it (yes, we even have to work on the hard parts and the tricky parts). The Bible itself is a gift of grace from God to us – He was under no obligation to give it to us, and yet in it He has given us everything needed for life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3). The Holy Spirit is active when we preach the Scripture and when we hear the Scripture, glorifying God and drawing us to Him; for that reason, I do what I can to accurately deliver the Word of God.--Connect with Us:contact@parableministries.comParable MinistriesInstagram--If you feel led to give to Parable Ministries, please visit: DonateMusic created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi

In this episode, Kevin and Chris delve into the intersection of science and spirituality (the namesake of the podcast!), exploring how mathematical principles and scientific discoveries point towards a higher intelligence or God. They discuss the order in the universe, the implications of the Big Bang, and the perspectives of notable scientists like Einstein. The conversation also touches on the patterns found in nature, the teachings of the church, and practical steps for connecting with a higher power. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of personal discernment in spiritual practice and the diverse paths to understanding the divine.Key Topics Discussed Include:-Science and spirituality can coexist and complement each other.-Mathematics reveals an underlying order in the universe.-The Big Bang theory raises questions about the origin of order.-Einstein's studies led him to believe in a higher power.-Nature exhibits patterns that suggest intelligence behind creation.-The church offers insights into knowing God through various proofs.-Personal connection with God can be developed through meditation and prayer.-Discernment is key in understanding spiritual guidance.-A deeper connection with God can lead to greater peace and confidence.Links:Article Discussed: https://webhomes.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/wigner.pdfDoctor Quantum Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvzSLByrw4Q

In one of the most powerful moments of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Krishna speaks for the first time—and what He says sheds light on the real aim of yoga, austerity, and spiritual discipline. Raghunath and Kaustubha, joined by Radhanath Swami in the studio, unpack this pivotal teaching: that it's not the practice alone that transforms us, but the devotion that infuses it. Without bhakti, even the most intense austerity leaves us spiritually unfulfilled. With it, every action becomes divine. Tune in for deep insights into Krishna's words, reflections on a moving initiation ceremony, and an honest look at what makes spiritual life real, sweet, and powerful.
