✣ Free Neville Goddard PDF: manifestwithneville.com✣ God Mode 2025 Retreat: https://godmoderetreats.com✣ God Mode Course: https://unlockgodmode.org----------------------In this lecture, The Pure in Heart, Neville explores the true meaning of the sixth Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” He clarifies that purity of heart is not about moral or sexual purity but about being free from deceit, particularly deception for personal gain. The pure in heart are those who are incapable of guile, who never manipulate, lie, or exploit others to serve their own interests.Neville explains that life is a process of refining the soul, symbolized as gold, through the furnaces of experience. These trials are meant to burn away all deception until what remains is pure gold—represented by David, the biblical symbol of a heart perfectly aligned with God. When a person reaches this state, they are spiritually prepared to ascend and stand in God's presence. At that moment, they receive the divine imprint and awaken to their true identity as God.He emphasizes that this process is inevitable for everyone. No one escapes the trials, and all will eventually be purified. The ultimate test is whether, even in moments of extreme hardship, one remains honest and guileless rather than seeking advantage at another's expense. When this purity is achieved, the individual is revealed as Jesse—the "I AM"—and recognizes their divine nature.Key Takeaways for Application:Purity of Heart Means Freedom from Deception – Being pure in heart does not mean moral perfection but a total absence of guile. Never deceive others for personal gain.Life's Trials Are Refining You – Every hardship is a furnace designed to burn away deceit and refine your soul into pure gold, preparing you for divine awakening.The Key to Seeing God Is Guilelessness – Only those who are completely honest in their intentions and incapable of manipulation can stand in God's presence and receive divine revelation.David Represents the Purified Soul – The biblical David is symbolic of the perfected heart, and once this purity is achieved, the divine imprint is made upon you.God's Presence Is Within You – The moment you become pure in heart, you will experience the presence of God and awaken to the realization that you are one with Him.No One Fails This Journey – Regardless of where you are in life, you are being shaped and tested until you reach purity. Everyone will ultimately pass through this process and awaken.Your “I AM” is Jesse, the Source of Your Being – The realization of your divine nature comes when you understand that Jesse (I AM) is the father of David (your purified soul), completing your transformation into God.Remain Honest Even in Hardship – No matter how difficult life becomes, resist the temptation to deceive others for survival or gain. Holding to integrity is the final test before awakening.By applying these principles, you align yourself with the spiritual process that leads to divine realization and the fulfillment of the Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulatio...

In this episode, I'm joined by Heather Thompson Day, whose insights challenge our perceptions of success, passion, and the presence of God in our lives. Heather boldly explores the idea that our true story isn't found in the circumstances we face, but rather in how we respond to them. We dive into themes from her powerful book, What If I'm Wrong?, discussing how passion is not about acclaim or abundance but about faithful presence even in uncertainty and failure. Together, we uncover how deeply God's faithfulness and presence are intertwined in our stories—especially when life doesn't go according to our plans. Heather's wisdom and authenticity offer a refreshing invitation to live with courage and purpose, even when we're navigating doubts and difficulties. So join us for an honest conversation about embracing passion, redefining success, and finding peace in God's enduring presence.Dr. Heather Thompson Day is an interdenominational speaker, an ECPA bestseller, and has been a contributor for Religion News Service, Christianity Today, Newsweek and the Barna Group. Her new podcast, What If I'm Wrong? debuted in the top 200 of all Christian podcasts.

She is now the founder of It Is Day Ministries, a nonprofit organization that trains churches, leaders, and laypeople in what Heather calls Cross Communication, a gospel centered communication approach that points you higher, to the cross, every time you open your mouth. Heather's writing has been featured on outlets like the Today Show, and the National Communication Association. She has been interviewed by BBC Radio Live and The Wall Street Journal. She believes her calling is to stand in the gaps of our churches.

In this heartwarming episode of "Father and Joe," host Joe Rockey expresses deep gratitude to Father Boniface for the profound impact he's had on his personal life and spiritual journey. The episode opens with a sincere acknowledgment of Father Boniface's influence, which has extended over the years from personal advice to naming Joe's new son after him, signifying the deep respect and admiration Joe holds for Father Boniface.Throughout their engaging discussion, Joe reflects on the seven-year journey since the podcast began. He openly shares how his initial curiosity about faith has transformed into a meaningful relationship with God. Father Boniface's guidance has helped him navigate challenges, develop healthier relationships, and integrate faith into his personal and professional life.Father Boniface humbly appreciates the honor of having Joe's son named after him, marking a significant milestone in their journey together. He further emphasizes that their collaborative effort has not only enriched Joe's life but also positively affected the lives of their listeners.The episode progresses into a thoughtful dialogue about the significant role relationships play in deepening one's faith. Father Boniface notes that while obstacles in developing a relationship with God may initially seem to be on one's end, it's through community, relationships, and love that these barriers are often overcome. He reminds listeners of the communal aspect of faith, encouraging those who have extra to extend help to those who may be struggling to foster such relationships.Joe complements this with an insightful thought experiment that encourages listeners to rethink past situations and relationships, aiming to open their hearts and minds to love. This practice, Joe suggests, is akin to mentally and emotionally stretching, allowing more room for growth, vulnerability, and understanding—a crucial step towards embracing faith.As they close, Joe and Father Boniface discuss the evolution of the podcast itself, noting how their own relationship and shared faith have become more profound over time. They also highlight the importance of continually trying new things, making small improvements, and the necessity of patience and support in spiritual growth.The dynamic between Joe and Father Boniface, illustrated through this heartfelt conversation, showcases the central theme of Father and Joe: fostering connections with oneself, others, and God. This episode serves as a testament to their collaborative journey and shares a powerful message about the enduring fruits of faith and community.Join Father Boniface and Joe Rockey as they invite listeners to reflect, grow, and embrace the possibilities love and faith bring into every facet of life.#FatherAndJoe, #FaithJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #SpiritualTransformation, #CommunitySupport, #Gratitude, #FaithStory, #PodcastLife, #SpiritualGuidance, #NamingAfterMentor, #LoveAndFaith, #ReflectAndGrow, #GrowthMindset, #YoungBelievers, #SpiritualAwakening, #InspirationalPodcasts, #FamilyImpact, #RelationshipWithGod, #FaithAndLove, #SpiritualMentorship, #NurturingFaith, #Encouragement, #CatholicFaith, #ModernFaithJourney, #HeartfeltConversations, #PodcastCommunity, #SpiritualInsight, #EverydaySpirituality, #TrustAndFaith, #PersonalTestimony, #ConnectionWithGod, #SupportiveCommunities, #ExploringFaith, #SpiritualObstacles, #FaithPodcast, #Vulnerability, #SpiritualGrowth, #SpiritualEnrichment, #TogetherInFaith, #FindingFaith.

By Howard Marchbanks - We look at the first Feast of Weeks when the law was given at Mount Sinai. God set out to give them a new identity to be His very own children: sons and daughters that become part of the very family of God. We see that baptism of repentance for sin is not enough. We need the Holy Spirit poured into

In this opening message of Summer of Change, Pastor Ken Senchal unpacks why lasting spiritual transformation requires more than good intentions. It takes humility. It takes desire. It takes surrender. What areas of your life is Jesus asking to transform? This week, you'll be invited to: Recognize the roadblocks that keep you from change—like pride and spiritual apathy Understand the difference between religious activity and true discipleship Embrace Jesus' call to “Follow Me… and I will make you fishers of men” If you've been feeling stuck or spiritually stale, this message is your invitation to step into a season of genuine growth. It's time to move beyond surface change and let the Holy Spirit do deep work.

In this sermon, Jim Osman unpacks the precious promises of God found in 2 Peter 1:3-4, showing how they reflect His nature and empower believers to holiness. The precious promises of God are both a revelation of His divine character and a means of escape from the world's corruption. Through them, Christians share in the divine nature and grow in sanctification. ★ Support this podcast ★

This episode dives into the brutal, mind-altering experience of spending 60 days alone in Antarctica, and how extreme suffering became a catalyst for spiritual awakening, peak performance, and deep inner peace. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves. Akshay's journey through darkness retreats, trauma healing, and polar expeditions opens a raw and unfiltered look at self-quantification, mental resilience, and human performance at the edge. This episode will challenge your assumptions about comfort, suffering, and what it means to live fully awake.

In this episode of The Concordia Publishing House Podcast, host Elizabeth Pittman is joined by guest Sharla Fritz to discuss Sharla's newest book, Divine Directions: How God Guides Your Path. Order the book now on CPH's website at cph.org/divinedirections. Show NotesFrom Moses' journey to the Promised Land and Ruth's journey in life, it's easy to see that following your own itinerary never goes as planned. In her new book, Divine Directions, Sharla Fritz writes about how this is especially true in her own travel woes. During the episode, listen as Sharla discusses these personal travel stories, the eight Biblical travels she writes about in the book, what it looks like to trust God's itinerary instead of our own, how to reflect on our spiritual journeys, and more. QuestionsWhat inspired you to write Divine Directions, and how did your own experiences with travel influence the theme?Why did you choose these eight biblical journeys to include in the study? Was there one that surprised you during your research?What common threads did you find among these journeys, despite their very different circumstances and outcomes?Can you share how one of these stories—perhaps Ruth or Jonah—has shaped your understanding of God's guidance?One of the study's key ideas is that “God rarely gives us a detailed map.” How can that be comforting instead of frustrating?What does it look like, practically, to trust God's itinerary instead of our own?You include timelines, maps, and historical context. How does understanding the “where and when” of Scripture help readers apply it to the “here and now”?This study is meant for both individual reflection and small group discussion. How does community enhance our ability to follow God's lead?You encourage readers to share their own stories. Why is it so powerful to reflect on our spiritual journeys out loud?What encouragement would you offer to someone currently feeling lost or stuck at a crossroads in life?What do you hope readers take away from this study once they've completed all eight journeys?About the GuestSharla Fritz loves to speak with women's groups and to share about her own struggles, victories, and failures, speaking about how God is miraculously present through them all. In doing so, she hopes to share a few laughs and meet new sisters in Christ. Sharla is a Lutheran author, musician, and speaker. She has published numerous books with Concordia Publishing House, including Measured by Grace, God's Relentless Love, Divine Makeover: God Makes You Beautiful, Divine Design: 40 Days of Spiritual Makeover, and Bless These Lips: 40 Days of Spiritual Transformation.

For a lot of people, Revelation is the Bible's great mystery—full of wild images and swirling predictions, often left to collect dust or to stir up arguments about the end times. But beneath all the confusion, Revelation also speaks to something deeply human: our ache for intimacy, our struggle with loneliness, and our longing to know that God is closer than we think. Today I'm joined by Dr. Shane J. Wood - professor, theologian, and author of Thinning the Veil. Shane has spent decades steeped in Revelation, not as a codebook for the future, but as a guide for living with honesty and presence right now. His approach is all about transformation: what does it mean to let the way of Jesus reshape our identity, our relationships, and the way we move through a world that often feels disconnected? In this conversation, we dive into how loneliness touches us all, how the presence of God can feel just out of reach, and how the message of Revelation invites us to draw near—to God and to one another. We talk about the cycles of power and fear that keep us apart, and how worship and vulnerability can open the door to real, embodied intimacy. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your isolation, or if faith can make a difference in our deepest places of longing, I invite you to listen as we peel back the layers and look for the thin places—where heaven and earth meet, and where we discover what it means to be fully known and fully loved. So join us.Shane J. Wood (PhD, University of Edinburgh) is professor of New Testament and Its Origins at Ozark Christian College. In addition to speaking at churches and conferences worldwide, Shane produces a variety of audio, video, and written resources available at shanejwood.com. He is the author of multiple books, with his most recent book entitled "Thinning the Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation" (IVP).

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!

The Bṛhat-bhāgavatāmṛta mentions that devotees don't look for peace. They're not looking for peace of mind; they're looking to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. In the endeavor to satisfy Kṛṣṇa, there are many complex situations, and there are many anxieties. And on record, a devotee asked Prabhupāda, "Devotees sometimes are in great anxiety." For instance he gave the example of distributing books, "they are in so much anxiety about it." And Prabhupāda said, "Tell them that that is spiritual anxiety." Then he gave the example of Yaśodā. And he said, "Yaśodā is always in anxiety. There's never a time when she's Oṁ śānti śānti śānti." She's constantly worried, "Will Kṛṣṇa get into something in Vraj? He's playing with the calves and the cows, and are they getting into trouble somewhere?" For instance, Kṛṣṇa goes and steals from people's houses, and then Yaśodā gets called about it, "Your son's stealing!" And then Kṛṣṇa has this impish look on his face, and so forth. So, constant anxiety for Kṛṣṇa. One takeaway from just the threshold of entering into this cursing pastime is that these kinds of differences of opinion or anxieties or complexities happen in spiritual life because of the uniqueness of the soul and the unfolding Līlā of Kṛṣṇa. And so, we needn't be utopian in interpreting this and saying, "How could this ever happen?" As we will find out tomorrow and onward, from this pastime The Lord appears. And tomorrow, we find that there's more about the nature of the Kumāras and why they became angry and then, subsequently, last point I'll make is that their transformation. This is a pastime of transformation, and it's very important ,because throughout the Srimad Bhagavatam, we find this beacon of pure devotional service, which is directing us towards the highest position of life, which is to attain pure love for Krishna. And in the process, we find different kinds of people from different levels of consciousness.For instance, the Kumaras were at a level of undifferenced monism and they're about to be transformed into Krishna bhaktas. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

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!!!

Send us a textHave you ever wondered where God is in the ordinary moments of your day? We explore that very question in this heart-level conversation about how every moment—yes, even the mundane ones—can become a sacred encounter. Together, we reflect on stories like the woman who touched Jesus' robe and the thief on the cross to reveal how God's presence often meets us not in grand events but in the smallest, most unexpected places. We talk about how every step can be a “thin place,” where heaven brushes earth, and how God can transform even a single second into a life-changing moment.We also dive into the difference between "Chronos" time—our packed, scheduled lives—and "Kairos" time, those divine appointments where God breaks through. Through gentle practices like breath prayers, sacred space scans, and pausing before reacting, we offer ways to recognize God's presence in your day. This episode is for anyone feeling rushed, scattered, or spiritually distant. You don't have to wait for perfect circumstances to experience God. Right here, right now—this very moment—you're already standing on holy ground.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

This sermon is part of a series on Colossians, focusing on verses 1:24-2:3. The central message emphasizes that 'Christ is enough' - a theme that runs throughout the entire book. Pastor Devin discusses Paul's perspective on suffering for the church, the mystery of Christ being revealed to the Gentiles, and the importance of warning and teaching in spiritual growth. The sermon highlights how the church historically grows through persecution and affliction, and emphasizes that true fulfillment can only be found in Jesus Christ.How does the concept of 'Christ is enough' challenge our modern tendency to seek fulfillment in other things?What role does suffering play in our spiritual growth according to this passage?How has persecution historically affected the growth of the church? Why do you think this is?What does it mean to have 'Christ in you, the hope of glory'?How can we balance both warning and teaching in our relationships with fellow believers?Why is it important to align our opinions with God's Word rather than trying to make God's Word align with our opinions?What does it mean to be weak so that Christ's power can be perfected in us?How can we practically demonstrate that Christ is enough in our daily lives?Support the show

We live in a world obsessed with “more.” More stuff. More success. More status. But Jesus warns us that a life full of possessions can still be empty in eternity. In this episode, we dive into The Parable of the Rich Fool, where Jesus exposes the subtle trap of greed and calls us to live lives that are rich toward God.

In this special bonus episode Ruth converses with pastor, author, speaker and long time friend, John Ortberg about his new book 'Steps, A Guide to Transforming Your Life When Willpower Isn't Enough.'

John shares his personal journey, insights on profound spiritual practices, and the importance of vulnerability and safety in transformational spaces.

This sermon explores key theological themes from Colossians 1:15-23. Pastor Devin breaks down eight major theological concepts including Christology, Biblical cosmology, the supremacy of Christ, soteriology (salvation), ecclesiology (church doctrine), eschatology (end times), spiritual warfare, and theology proper. The passage emphasizes Jesus' divine nature, his role as creator and sustainer of all things, and his supremacy over all creation.Discussion Questions:What does it mean that Jesus is 'the image of the invisible God'?How does understanding Jesus as Creator affect your view of Him?What does it mean that 'by Him all things hold together'?Why is it important that Jesus is the head of the church?How does Jesus' blood bring reconciliation between God and humans?What does it mean to remain 'grounded and steadfast in the faith'?How do you distinguish between God's sovereign will and His relational will?What areas of your life need to be brought under Christ's supremacy?Support the show

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

When Jesus returns, how will He recognize His true followers? It's not just about what we say we believe—it's about how we live it out. In this powerful episode, we dive into The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats and unpack Jesus' message about serving others as the ultimate act of faith.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are in the Gospel of Mark. Go to the website and grab the Scripture Journal for this study so you can study along with us. I want to give a shout-out today to Tim Steinke from Menasha, WI. Go Packers! Thank you for being a monthly partner in Project23 and helping us share the Gospel with millions as we work our way through the entire Bible. Today, we're reading Mark 1:21-45: And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee. And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them. That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter. — Mark 1:21-45 Jesus walks into the synagogue and doesn't just teach—He commands. His words land differently. Not like the scribes. Not recycled thoughts or secondhand opinions. Jesus speaks with authority, and it stuns people. It's the kind of authority that silences demons and heals sickness with a touch. This is power and compassion, side by side. He speaks, and spirits flee. He touches, and sickness disappears. He lifts a woman by the hand—and she rises, healed, and starts serving. Jesus isn't just full of authority—He uses it to serve, not dominate. He doesn't flex to impress. He acts to restore. That's the kind of King He is. And word spreads. Fast. People start crowding the door. Sick, desperate, oppressed—everyone wants a moment with Jesus. But here's the key: the ones who encountered Him didn't just get relief, they experienced release. Not just healed from something—but freed for something. When Jesus shows up, things change. People don't stay the same. So, here's the question: Have you allowed his authority to change you? Not just inspire you—but actually disrupt, heal, and transform you? #JesusHeals, #SpiritualAuthority, #FaithOverFear ASK THIS: What do you notice about the way Jesus uses His authority? How does His power give you comfort instead of fear? Where do you need healing or freedom today? What's stopping you from bringing that to Jesus right now? DO THIS: Surrender an area of your life where you've been resisting Jesus' authority—ask Him to transform it today. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't just want to admire your power—I want to be changed by it. Heal what's broken in me, and lead me in freedom. Amen. PLAY THIS: Same Power.

The relationship between faith, love, and hope forms a powerful framework for Christian living, as revealed in Colossians. True godly love can only emerge from genuine faith, distinguishing itself from shallow, conditional human love. This faith-based love transforms relationships and situations with divine purpose and depth. Christian hope stands uniquely secured in heaven, providing stability regardless of worldly circumstances such as economic uncertainty or political turmoil.Spiritual growth requires dedicated knowledge of God's Word and will, achieved through regular Bible study, sound theological understanding, and the ability to discern truth from false teaching. While Christianity doesn't promise a pain-free existence, it equips believers with strength to endure difficulties, hope during trials, and power through the Holy Spirit. This combination of faith, knowledge, and hope enables Christians to maintain an eternal perspective during temporary struggles, serving as a powerful testimony to others.Support the show

The Journey Beyond Death continues with Part 16 of its compelling 18-part series and marks the sixth installment in the eight-part segment focused on individuals who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). In this episode, we spotlight three extraordinary guests—Peter Bedard, Karyn Reece, and Howard Storm—each of whom crossed the threshold of life and death and returned with transformative insights that challenge everything we think we know about existence. Peter Bedard was just a teenager when a devastating accident flung him out of his body and into a realm of pure awareness. What he found there—a tunnel of spinning light, a mysterious guide resembling Lao Tzu, and a sense of overwhelming peace—shaped his life's mission. Today, Peter helps others heal emotional wounds through his method, Convergence Healing. Karyn Reece, a gifted psychic medium, shares her emotionally rich near-death experience involving a vibrant, otherworldly meadow and a reunion with passed loved ones. Despite her longing to remain in the afterlife, she was told she had more work to do. Her story touches on soul contracts, multidimensional awareness, and the thin veil between the living and the dead. Howard Storm's account is perhaps the most jarring. A former atheist, Howard describes a terrifying descent into darkness where hostile beings tormented him—until a desperate prayer summoned a radiant presence he identifies as Jesus. Rescued, shown a life review, and filled with divine love, Howard's journey became a spiritual reckoning that altered his path forever. --------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 02:00 – NDE Survivor Peter Bedard 19:20 – NDE Survivor & Psychic Medium Karyn Reece 28:26 – NDE Survivor Howard Storm --------------------------------- Peter Bedard Peter Bedard is an NDE survivor, author, and healing expert who integrates science and spirituality to help people overcome trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain.

He is also a trained hypnotherapist and frequent guest speaker on mind-body healing.

The Journey Beyond Death – Part 11 opens our seven-part Near Death Experiences series with a powerful collection of firsthand journeys beyond the veil. These stories are not hearsay — they come from individuals who were clinically dead, crossed into another realm, and returned to transform the way we understand life, death, and what lies beyond. Leading NDE researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long, who has documented over 4,000 near-death experiences, shares stunning evidence that consciousness survives death. His research challenges the limitations of mainstream science and reveals consistent themes: overwhelming love, divine light, and a reality more vivid than this world. He recounts cases including a woman born blind who "saw" during her NDE, providing undeniable proof that our perception transcends the physical body. NDE survivor Peter Anthony, known as "The Accidental Prophet," describes traveling through a tunnel of rotating mathematical codes and faces from past lives, gaining profound downloads of universal knowledge. Bev Brodsky recounts meeting an angelic guide and merging with an all-knowing light — realizing that all souls are connected, and that love is the foundation of all existence. Finally, Betty J. Eadie, celebrated author of Embraced by the Light, shares her extraordinary encounter with Jesus and the heavenly realms. She describes a soul journey filled with infinite love, deep remembrance, and sacred revelations about why we incarnate on Earth. Betty's testimony stands as one of the most detailed and comforting maps of the afterlife ever shared, offering hope and clarity to anyone seeking to understand what truly happens after death. This episode challenges conventional thinking and invites listeners to step beyond fear — to embrace the reality that death is not an end, but a magnificent homecoming to unconditional love. ----------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 – NDE Leading Researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long 28:06 - NDE Survivor Peter Anthony 39:27 – NDE Survivor Bev Brodsky 45:07 – NDE Survivor Betty Eadie ----------------------------- Dr. Jeffrey Long – Radiation Oncologist & NDE Researcher Dr. Jeffrey Long is a radiation oncologist and a leading authority on near-death experiences (NDEs).

Andrew Arndt is back on the podcast today. He's a pastor and author who's challenging how we typically understand the gospel. His new book, "A Strange and Gracious Light," explores what it means to see Jesus as a living presence that intersects with our real, complicated lives. We'll discuss how the gospel isn't just about personal salvation or afterlife insurance, but a transformative story that speaks directly into our current cultural moment - with all its complexity, pain, and potential. Andrew brings a fresh, albeit an ancient perspective on how Jesus encounters us in our everyday struggles, political tensions, and personal challenges. This conversation is about reimagining the good news of Jesus as something far more expansive and immediate than we've traditionally understood. We'll explore what it means to experience Christ's presence in a way that's both deeply personal and broadly transformative. So join us as we facilitate encounters with the living God. Andrew Arndt is the Lead Pastor of New Life East (one of seven congregations of New Life Church in Colorado Springs), where he also hosts the Essential Church podcast, a weekly conversation designed to strengthen the thinking of church and ministry leaders. Prior to joining New Life's team, he served as Lead Pastor of Bloom Church: a neo-monastic, charismatic, liturgical, justice-driven network of house churches in Denver. He received his MDiv from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, is working on his Doctor of Ministry at Western Theological Seminary, and has written for Missio Alliance, Patheos, The Other Journal, and Mere Orthodoxy. He lives in the Springs with his wife Mandi and their four kids.Andrew's Book:A Strange and Gracious LightSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.
