For several decades, the LDS First Presidency gave away copies of books written by general authorities as Christmas presents. These books were produced in leather bindings and gilded pages. For the next 3 days, MRM's Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson take a closer look at the book titled Teachings of Harold B. Lee, which includes the writings and talks given by 11th President Harold B. Lee.
Viewed historically, Zen is a form of Mahayana Buddhism that evolved from the original forms Buddhism that were established in India after the Buddha's death around 2,500 BC. Many aspects of original Buddhism are retained in Zen, including respect for Shakyamuni Buddha and his teachings. However, the degree of transformation Buddhism underwent when it took root in China and evolved into Chan (later called "Zen" in Japan) is difficult to overestimate, resulting in a path of radical nondualism. Both the ultimate goal of practice and the means to achieve that goal changed so radically that it's legitimate to question whether Chan is even Buddhism. If you want to walk the path of Zen/Chan, it's essential to understand how it differs from original Buddhism.
Welcome to Day 2766 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Gnosticism: Its History, Teachings, and its Contrast with Christianity Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2766 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2766 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled Gnosticism: Its History, Teachings, and its Contrast with Christianity. Gnosticism emerged in the first and second centuries CE as a complex and diverse set of spiritual beliefs. It integrated elements from a variety of religious and philosophical contexts, including Judaism, Greek philosophy, eastern religions, and also borrowed heavily from Christian symbols and texts. Gnosticism thrived in the Mediterranean world and the Middle East until the 5th century. Despite its lack of a unified doctrine or centralized structure, the various sects and groups falling under the Gnostic label shared some core beliefs and ideas. Gnosticism came back into public awareness with the discovery of a collection of Gnostic texts in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. Segment one: WHAT IS GNOSTICISM? A significant aspect of Gnosticism is its portrayal of the creator of the physical world, often identified with the God of the Old Testament, as a flawed and even malevolent being known as the Demiurge. According to Gnostic belief, the Demiurge is responsible for entrapping divine sparks, fragments of the supreme being's essence, within human bodies. Gnosticism advocates a dualistic worldview, positing a stark contrast between the spiritual realm (considered good) and the material world (viewed as evil). Central to Gnostic belief is a distant, unknowable supreme being, along with various lesser divine entities known as Aeons, emanating from this source. Gnostics proposed that salvation and liberation from the material world were achieved through ‘gnosis,' or secret knowledge about the divine nature and the self. Gnostics often presented Jesus not as the savior through his death and resurrection but as the revealer of this hidden knowledge. Segment two: GNOSTICISM'S CONTRAST WITH CHRISTIANITY Gnosticism's teachings stand in contrast with mainstream Christian doctrines for several reasons: Divergent Christology: Gnostic representations of Jesus diverged significantly from the mainstream Christian understanding of Jesus as fully divine and fully human, offering salvation through his death and resurrection. Salvation Through Knowledge: Gnosticism emphasized salvation through secret knowledge, a departure from the Christian teaching of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians two verses eight and nine). Dualism and the Demiurge: Gnosticism's stark dualism and its depiction of the Demiurge conflicted with the Christian teaching of God as the benevolent creator of all things, both spiritual and material (Genesis 1), and that the material creation is fundamentally good. Authority of Scriptures: Gnostics often favored secret texts and teachings, which contradicted the recognized canonical Scriptures of Christianity. This...

Many years ago, as a young mother, Peggy Joyce attempted to witness to her neighbor only to end up questioning her own faith. The next eight years were filled with paralyzing fears and depression. Most pastors and the psychological world had given up entirely, but God had a different plan. (Also available in book form, Tormented 8 Years and Back.)

In this episode of a special series of the podcastWalk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem is joined by Lewis Cardinal, an Indigenous leader, teacher, and bridge-builder whose work centers on relationship—to land, to spirit, and to one another. This conversation is part of Crossing Thresholds: Religion, Resilience & Climate Migration, a special series that brings research on climate, faith, and human mobility into dialogue with lived wisdom from communities on the frontlines. While rooted in evidence, the series remains true to the spirit of Walk Talk Listen: creating space for connection and for leaders who are working—often quietly and patiently—to make the world more just, more sustainable, step by step. Lewis reflects on how climate change is experienced not only as environmental disruption, but as a disturbance of balance that is deeply cultural and spiritual. He speaks about the disappearance of lakes, shifting patterns of water, and what it means for Indigenous communities when land that carries memory, ceremony, and identity is under threat. Throughout the conversation, Lewis returns to the role of ceremony—not as something symbolic or abstract, but as a practical and spiritual response to imbalance. Ceremony, he explains, helps communities remember who they are, how they belong to the land, and how relationships can be restored even in times of great disruption. At the heart of Lewis's reflections is a worldview grounded in relationship: resilience not as infrastructure or technology, but as connection—built over generations, rooted in responsibility, kinship, and care. His insights echo a core finding of the Climate, Faith & Migration research: that communities are already responding with deep wisdom, long before global systems take notice. This episode invites listeners to slow down, listen carefully, and reconsider what resilience really means in a changing climate. For the full report of this research check this link.

2025 has show us the evolution of alternative media into the very thing it was sold not be to be; regurgitated talking points rooted in advertisements, special interests, and personal bias. On this end-year episode of TST radio, we will look to investigate the underlying mechanism behind the claims and narratives that become talking points every day. These are stories that are not new nor unique, yet are presented in a way to essentially obscure the past in the name of truth and exposing corruption. We begin with Nick Shirley: Nick Shirley's 42 minute “I Investigated Minnesota's Billion Dollar Fraud Scandal” video went viral on X after being posted on December 6, 2025. Within hours Elon Musk was posting about the lack of coverage from news outlets like ABC and Fox News, while other well-known names like Alex Jones were calling it the “fraud of the century.” Random accounts with enormous amounts of followers were calling for Nick to be given the Pulitzer Prize, every top-post was pushing memes of Nick with an X logo that said “100 million views,” and other memes were circulating about how Nick did what mainstream news could not. These posts were pushing the idea that X is completely independent and the definition of free speech and journalistic integrity. Some minor digging, however, shows all of this to be nothing but a theatrical production. Several mainstream and local news outlets covered the Minnesota fraud. In fact, ABC 5 KSTP did an investigation on the fraud in October 2025, posting a video similar to Nick's. In 2018, Fox 9 KMSP did an investigation. In 2015, Hennepin County raided multiple day-care centers as part of a fraud investigation; they arrested four people. The biggest report of all came in 2019 when the Office of the Legislative Auditor State of Minnesota did a full investigation on the Child Care Assistance Program. The investigation around hundreds of millions in fraud. Nick's report was therefore not unique, groundbreaking, or new. It also appears that the attempt to paint X as a source of truth and real journalism follows Musk's signing of an agreement with CHEQ, an Israeli company, to regulate content on the platform. As with TikTok's forced selling to Larry Ellison over content deemed dangerous to Israel, X obliterated not only stories about Israel following Nick's viral video, but drove down another Israeli story happening the same week. On December 29, 2025, Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the United States to meet with Donald Trump. The meeting involved an announcement of pre-war in Venezuela alongside multiple discussions about an upcoming conflict with Iran. Trump also announced that he has been working with the Israel government to get Netanyahu a full pardon for his crimes. Furthermore, Nick also teamed up with Jake Lang, an Israeli behind provocations in Michigan an Texas, who arrived in Minnesota to openly called for a crusade against Islam. Just prior to Nick's video going viral, he spent some of the spring in Israel/Gaza interviewing IDF Colonel Grishna Yakubovich, former administrator of occupied Palestine. The interview featured atrocity propaganda and commentary on how evil Arabs, Muslims, and the Palestinians are. In preparation for the upcoming crusade, the Pentagon, which just failed its eighth straight budget, received a 1 trillion dollar budget from Congress. https://www.military.com/feature/2025/12/24/pentagon-fails-eighth-audit-eyes-2028-turnaround.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/02/trump-defense-budget-hits-1-trillion-despite-doge/84419890007/https://www.auditor.leg.state.mn.us/sreview/ccap.pdf https://kstp.com/tracking-your-tax-dollars/whistleblower-minnesotas-child-care-assistance-program-has-fraud-cases-dating-back-12-years/ https://www.fox9.com/news/millions-of-dollars-in-suitcases-fly-out-of-msp-but-why.amp https://www.startribune.com/hennepin-county-raids-day-care-centers-as-part-of-fraud-investigation-4-arrested/329988761 https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-israeli-co-cheq-to-help-musk-battle-bots-on-x-1001464912 *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

For years our show has crossed over the acceptable threshold of the ufo, spiritual, and the new age communities. We have asked questions and made observations that have angered many.

Our goal was never to dismiss such things, as our show is rooted in objective interest, but asking for proof is often treated as sacrilege. For years we have also played the audio of certain men and women we believe to be running grifts or cons.

Teachings from Lakeside Presbyterian Church EPC, Brandon, MS
As our introduction articulates, with Delilah, timing, settings and intention are important to her in all aspects of her life. And so as this lands in your inbox, between the Christmas celebrations and before the end of 2025, we take a moment to talk to Delilah Sullivan about how she experiences the world and why she is now offering more of herself to be seen and heard in 2026. Delilah is a spirited writer, energy channel and teacher. She's published 3 books, ‘The Teachings of Mr P', ‘A Metaphysical Conversation with Rudyard Kipling: On Writing, the Afterlife and the Spirited Human' and now her new ‘The Realms Awaken: Metaphysical Obersvations - Book One', which has been a culmination of over 10 years of writing and lived wisdom, and is now on sale online at Amazon (Paperback & eBook) below.Our conversation gently moves through themes of spiritual awakening, healing, presence, creativity, guidance, and what it means to live consciously in a complex world. Delilah shares candidly about her personal transformation, the role of illness in awakening, her experience of channeling, and how we can all access deeper wisdom within ourselves.“When we let it go, it comes back as an embodied part of who we are.”It's a deeply reflective episode, which delves into soul evolution, co-creation, choice, and the idea that simply being kind, present, and embodied may be the most powerful contribution we can make. We unpick how less effort and more allowing often leads to deeper truth, how awakening is personal, embodied, and ongoing and healing happens when we are ready to receive the message. Andrew and I have loved listening back to Delilah's words and wisdom, and feel that this is a perfect episode to bring us all into 2026, as we were left feeling the essence of love and presence as the transformative forces they are for us and humanity. Please share with your fellow humans as your own act of kindness and love. Get full access to Sole to Soul Inspiration by Soulhub at soulhub.substack.com/subscribe

THE Q SOURCE AND MARY'S TEACHINGS Colleague James Tabor. Tabor identifies the "Q" source as a collection of ethical teachings shared by Matthew and Luke. He attributes these core values—such as charity and humility—to a family tradition taught by Mary to Jesus, James, and John the Baptizer, aiming to restore Mary'shistorical influence as a teacher.

As per tradition, we're talking all media to round out the year! Our theme is past, present, future; we're discussing what influenced both of us the most in each category.

For several decades, the LDS First Presidency gave away copies of books written by general authorities as Christmas presents. These books were produced in leather bindings and gilded pages. For the next three days, MRM's Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson will take a closer look at the book Teachings of Lorenzo Snow that featured the fifth president's writings and talks.
It is that time of the year again, mainly that of the winter solstice, ghost riders, the wild hunt, Krampus, Belsnickel, Befana, Joulupukki, and, of course, Santa and baby Jesus. Few have probably ever considered how much like Halloween the Christmas season really is: from ghosts and monsters to the contractual obligations set forward in both the trick-or-treat agreement and the Santa “clause,” otherwise known as the naughty-or-nice list. The lights, ornaments, gifts, botanicals, and evergreen vegetation serve many roles in decorating for the holiday, or holy day, season. From real characters to mythological monsters; from folklore to modern religious celebrations; and from natural cyclical changes to interpretations of nature as the end-times apocalypse, it is certainly beginning to look a lot like Krampus. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [CHRISTMAS]“The Matchless Gift of God's Divine Son”December 22 – December 28, 2025WEEK 52 SUMMARYThe Prophet Joseph Smith declared, “The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2011], 49). Over 160 years later, this statement inspired the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to publish “The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles” in honor of the 2,000th anniversary of the Savior's birth (see Russell M. Nelson, “Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 40).As Latter-day Saints, we rejoice in the blessing of continuing revelation through modern prophets and apostles. We are thankful for their inspired words of counsel, warning, and encouragement. But most of all, we are blessed by their powerful testimonies of Jesus Christ—at Christmastime and throughout the year. These are more than just stirring words of skilled writers or public speakers or insights from scriptural experts. They are the words of God's chosen, called, and authorized “special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world” (Doctrine and Covenants 107:23).OBJECT LESSON 1: "Joy to the World": Shadow NativityCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 ANNOUNCEMENT00:02:08 INTRO00:14:42 WOMEN IN THE SCRIPTURES01:33:50 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.
