What do you do when the walls won't move? When it feels like your future is out of reach and your prayers hit a wall? This message from our God Confidence series dives into the story of Jericho — a city walled off, yet no match for God's plan.

This episode was recorded back in January during the Los Angeles wildfires. And yes, we know it's been sitting in our spiritual junk drawer ever since. But consider this a karmic purge because this is the last episode from the archives and we are back on schedule after this! The backlog is fully cleared, the cosmic colonic worked, and our podcast feed has regular movements once again. In this episode, we embrace the chaos of the new year, talk about fire (actual and astrological), and examine why conspiracy theories have gotten dumber than ever. We also get real about personal evolution, sharing a practical framework for identity shifts (where you'll meet our alter egos, Lucky and Tippy) and we discuss what it actually takes to make lasting change when your life feels like it's on fire — figuratively or literally.Inside this episode:The astrology behind the LA fires and why your identity might feel like it's… unzipping itselfA complete evisceration of tunnel-based Hollywood fire conspiraciesWhy manifestation without a plan is just wishful griftingOur new favorite New Year's ritual involving AI and aesthetic phone wallpapersHow to build better habits without hating yourselfThe moment we debut our spiritual alter egos and probably start a whole new religionAlso: practical accountability, dumb TikToks, bad movies, good mindset shifts, and the gentle reminder that even though time is fake, the choices you make with the time you have are very real.From here on out, it's all fresh content. Thanks for sticking with us. Lucky and Tippy are ready. Are you?*******************************About The Serendipity Sessions:We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.*******************************Please rate us 5 stars and leave us a review!

We recorded this episode in December 2024. We're releasing it in May 2025. Yes, we know. Time is fake. Calendars are a colonial construct. But astrology still slaps, even when it's late. We apologize for any outdated references in this episode, but we still wanted post it because this is the part of the year where things REALLY start to change. It's a great opportunity to reflect on the year thus far and stay prepared for what's coming next.This episode is an overview of the energetic architecture of 2025. We discuss the biggest planetary shifts, collective themes, and the existential whiplash that these historic astrology formations are unleashing. In this episode, we cover:Why 2025 is a preview of the next five yearsWhy Pluto in Aquarius is the era of aliens, AI, and collective uprising (and why drones might be the new oracles)How Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries will completely reshape our understanding of identity, imagination, and self-leadershipWhy Uranus in Gemini will make nerds hot again (sexy librarians, you're on deck!)What it means when every outer planet changes signs in such a short period of timeThe astrology behind class revolts and why corporate overlords should watch their backsAnd how you, dear listener, can pivot, strategize, and maybe even monetize your way through this cosmic paradigm shiftYou'll also hear us:Predict the weaponization of butt plugs for interdimensional travelPraise the rise of spiritual individualism and customizable capitalismDeclare the death of “cool” and the rebirth of authentic weirdnessAnd remind you (gently? lol no) that you're going to need to stay adaptable, resilient, and a little unhinged to ride this wave.This episode is chaotic, unscripted, and completely vital. Even if it's five months late.The astrology doesn't care when you listen. Just that you do.***************************P.S. PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST AND SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!

She discusses the rise of AI in spiritual practices, the importance of discernment when using AI, and the ethical considerations surrounding its use. Tiffany emphasizes that while AI can be a useful tool for personal growth and exploration, it cannot replace the human connection and the deeper aspects of spirituality.

I was deeply honored to spend this time with Shawn Leonard. The conversation covers topics I find simply fascinating, including how he has recorded his spirit guides' voices (you can hear them on his YouTube channel!), how they have appeared to him physcially to assist him unexpectedly, how we can open ourselves to receiving psychic input in our own lives, and the repression of spiritual gifts and practices of indigenous people through colonization.  Shawn Leonard is a Mi'kmaq Spirit Talker and psychic medium with over 25 years of experience. You're going to love this enlightening discussion on spirit guides, Indigenous teachings, and incredible stories of spirit communication. Shawn reveals his journey from discovering his gift to becoming a renowned psychic medium and author of 'Spirit Talker'. He also shares riveting anecdotes about hearing his spirit guides, receiving guidance, and even recording conversations with them. We also dive deep into practical steps for your to connect with their own spirit guides and incorporate spiritual practices into everyday life. Tune in for an episode that seamlessly blends ancient Indigenous wisdom with modern spiritual awakening, offering potent insights and heart-expanding stories that inspire a deeper connection with the spiritual realm.

In this episode, I share the foundational spiritual practices that help us grow, calm the mind, and connect with divine guidance. You'll hear personal stories, practical tips, and reminders to follow your intuition in choosing the right practice for each moment.

Long time no talk! By talk, we mean screaming into the void. Put your headphones on -- we have a lot of catching up to do. We know. We disappeared. But like any good ghosting situation, we're returning with no explanation… except an entire episode of explanations. In our first episode since January, we blow the dust off our mics and confront who we thought we were before life sideswiped us with plot twists, spiritual detours, and 47 new existential crises.This comeback episode is equal parts cute and chaotic. Featuring six semi-structured segments (plus a fully unhinged AI narrator for no good reason whatsoever), we reflect on how we've changed since January, chew on the ways the world has changed, and hopefully we also make you feel a little bit better if your current bar for thriving is "I cried, but I scheduled it."  Let's all trauma dump together into the abyss and hope the abyss claps back with some clarity, shall we? We're back. We missed you. New episodes are coming regularly. Let the emotional spirals commence. ***************************Podcast & Host Links:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

There are times when we take our bodies for granted... abusing them with lengthy to-do lists of tasks that test the limits of our capacity. We go about our lives as if the “vessels” we have been given are unshakable, unbreakable, and without limits. How often to we thank others for the things they do for us, yet forget to take time to thank our bodies for getting us through the day. Join host and apostle designate, Shannon McAdam, for a blessing of the body. Take time to acknowledge and give thanks for the body you have been given, while allowing it a moment or two to rest and be blessed. Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary: Prayers, Poems, and Reflections for Every Season, (Ave Maria Press, 2011). Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

This week, 10 reasons people give for not being Christian. Also, feeling spiritually “meh” and what to do about it. […] The post Mehna Mehna first appeared on Live From The Path.

As we practice receiving and remaining in God's love, the question becomes this: how are we responding and loving Him back? And not necessarily in the big moments, but in the small and ordinary moments of every day life. We all move in patterns that we have set up over time, day by day. These habits and practices shape our loves, our desires, and ultimately, who and what we worship. So what habits and practices can we take up that are aiming our love and desires towards God? In this episode, I share 7 spiritual practices I'm engaging in right now that are increasing my capacity to receive, remain, and respond to God's love. My hope is that they spark prayerful creativity and imagination in you around God's invitations into deeper intimacy within the rhythms of your everyday life.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. Welcome to our podcast and video. Our special guest today is Jodie Niznik. Welcome Jodie. Jodie >> Thanks, Kay. So always good to be with you. Kay >> And we always love it when you come on here. We've had some great conversations and I'll get into some of those at the end so that people know more about them. Today we're going to talk about spiritual disciplines. And Jodie, I need to tell you a little bit more about her before we get into our conversation. Jodie is an author, a Bible teacher. She desires to help people make space for God in their lives. And she has a Scripture meditation podcast, which is fabulous, and it's called So Much More. And where can I get to that, Jodie? Jodie >> Yeah, if you go to my website, which is jodieniznik.com, there are links there, but it's also on any podcast platform. So wherever you listen to podcasts, you can Google so much more scripture meditation and you'll find it. Kay >> All right. Thanks for letting us know yeah. Well, as we start talking about spiritual disciplines, I just wanted to say from the from the get go that growing up in the church, all I knew was I was supposed to pray. I supposed to read my Bible, and I was supposed to give money. So I definitely came a long way. And I'm sure that there are people out there that don't even know what spiritual disciplines are. So let's sort of start from the beginning. How would you define them? Just tell us about them. Jodie >> Yeah, I love that you started with the basic spiritual disciplines that we know prayer, Bible study, giving to the church. Those are the practices that we know. But spiritual disciplines are actually much bigger and they all come from what we see Jesus doing. So Jesus, when he invited us to be followers, he said, “Come follow me.” That's what he said to the original disciples. You all know that. And when we look at what he was actually inviting them to do, he was actually inviting them into a way of living. He was inviting them to do the things that he was doing so that they would become more like him. So spiritual practices are often called spiritual disciplines. Those two words are interchangeable.
