When devotion turns into performance, honesty becomes the new yoga. In this powerful conversation with Jiva G, Raghunath explores how 12-Step recovery principles blend seamlessly with bhakti yoga to heal the heart. Together they unpack spiritual bypassing, codependency, trauma, and the courage to drop the mask.

This sesh starts mellow with Moxie's Buzz GMO x Red Velvet and quickly spins into a full-on philosophy jam. We talk rejection, self-help vs self-delusion, Dutch kickboxing pain tolerance, and why “next” might be the best motivational word ever written on an index card.From growing up in Utah Mormon culture to unlearning shame around swearing, this one hits every note — funny, deep, and way too real. Also, Brandon's homemade THC balm makes an appearance, because of course it does.What You'll Get Out of This Episode:• How cannabis can shift your mindset from fear to curiosity.• Why rejection sucks — and why it still shouldn't stop you.• The secret connection between martial arts and emotional growth.• How tone shapes relationships more than words ever will.• A brutally honest look at religion, culture, and learning to think for yourself.It's the high-meets-honest therapy session you didn't know you needed. Light one up and laugh your way into some self-awareness.

In this talk, Jomon introduces the Japanese Buddhist holiday Ohigan, celebrated at the equinox as a time to honor the ancestors and reflect on the paramitas—the perfections of practice. From there, she explores karma not just as action and result, but as a living cycle of intentions, deeds, and the dispositions they leave behind. Drawing on Buddhist teachings, neuroscience, and personal stories, Jomon shows how our propensities shape the way we perceive the world, and how practicing generosity, patience, and wisdom can shift the very seeds we carry forward. She closes by asking: What kind of ancestor do you want to be, and how do you wish to meet this life?This talk was given during the Wednesday night program at Heart of Wisdom on September 3rd 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★

Grandpa Bill here, diving deep into the celestial waters with a recap of the first half of October. As a Pisces, the month has felt like a powerful undercurrent—a spiritual re-calibration, as Tam's Energy Almanac hints. The theme Tam highlights this month is about shifting Fear into Wisdom, a process that demands we be fully present... and oh boy, did the cosmos deliver the pressure to be present!The first half of the month was all about shining a spotlight on our most intense truths. That Full Supermoon in Aries (around the 7th) was a big, fiery blast, right? For me, as an empathic Pisces, it wasn't comfortable. It brought up those fears and shadows, especially concerning how I assert myself versus how I collaborate with others. It was a culmination moment—a brilliant light forcing us to look at those dark corners.Then, around the 6th, Mercury plunged into Scorpio. Tam's Almanac nails this: Depth in Communication. Surface conversations are over. This is when our discussions—like the ones we have right here on the show about health and well-being—have to go beneath the surface. For me, that meant a deeper look into the shadows I might be projecting. It was an investigation into my own psyche, pushing me to find the raw, honest dialogue that truly heals.The Almanac also mentions Mercury and Mars at the apex of a Yod, which is like a cosmic finger pointing to unavoidable choices and sharp conversations. We can't stay on the fence. We had to embrace the discomfort—that feeling that everything is moving a little too fast or getting too real.Finally, the whole period was setting the stage for Venus's move into Libra (around the 13th), a beautiful, diplomatic energy. After all that deep, sometimes uncomfortable soul-searching, the cosmos offers a chance for Harmony in Relationships and a renewed focus on beauty and collaboration. It's the spiritual payoff for doing the deep work the Super moon and Scorpio energy demanded.The takeaway, as I see it, is that the Universe gave us a shovel to dig up our deepest fears, only to then give us the grace to re-plant those roots in more fertile, balanced soil. It was intense, it was necessary, and it perfectly aligns with the 'Fear into Wisdom' message in my Energy Almanac work with Tam."#GrandpaBill, #EnergyAlmanac, #FearToWisdom, #HolisticHealingHour, #Tam Veilleux,#Aries Super moon, #FullMoonEnergy, #ShadowWork, #PresenceNotProjection, #AstrologyRecap,#MercuryInScorpio, #DepthInDialogue, #IntuitiveLeadership, #ScorpioSeasonPrep, #Astrology2025,#SpiritualGrowth #WellnessWisdom,#PiscesWisdom #GrandpaBillHolt #SpiritualRecalibration #IntuitiveThinker #AstrologicalInsights,

Fr. Mike illustrates the story of Eleazar and the abandonment of peace terms between the Jews and the Greeks.

Men, It's OK To Be Alone

Welcome to this episode of our “Identity in the Battle” series, based on an exploration of Ephesians 6:10-13. The focus is on understanding our identity as followers of Christ and what it means to engage in spiritual warfare by putting on the full armor of God. We invite you to consider purchasing the accompanying workbook here: https://www.gospelspice.com/identity  Let's break down the main themes and lessons from this episode: Context: Our Identity and the Reality of Battle Stephanie begins by grounding us in the overall theme of the series: Identity in the Battle. She reminds listeners that Paul's letter to the Ephesians moves from teaching about who we are in Christ (chapters 1-3) to how we act because of our identity (chapters 4-6). As Paul closes his letter, he introduces the imagery of spiritual armor, summarizing the main points and equipping believers for spiritual warfare. Paul's message isn't just for specific groups—it's for everyone who claims Christ, regardless of gender, age, or role. If you are in Christ, you are called to be a warrior, not fragile china hidden away. This call is universal across the body of believers. Understanding the Battle Paul urges us to "be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power,” highlighting that our strength comes not from ourselves, but from being in Christ. This is not a battle for our salvation—Christ has already won that war on the cross—but a fight for our effectiveness and witness as believers. Satan cannot take our salvation, but he can undermine our impact if we're unprepared. Stephanie emphasizes that the true battle is spiritual—not against flesh and blood, but against unseen spiritual forces. Personal struggles, relationship challenges, or internal battles are surface-level; behind them is a deeper spiritual conflict. Recognizing this shifts our focus from blaming people or circumstances to standing guard against spiritual opposition. Equipping Ourselves: The Armor of God Paul uses two key actions: “put on” and “take up” the full armor of God. At salvation, we “put on” this armor permanently (sealed with the Holy Spirit), but we must also “take it up” daily, making a conscious choice to stand firm each day. The armor equips us to resist the devil's schemes, knowing the victory is assured through Christ. Stephanie illustrates that we should not wait until the enemy is upon us to prepare; the armor must be worn in readiness. Just as Roman soldiers were only as effective as their preparation, so we must be spiritually ready. Our Posture: Standing by Kneeling The repeated exhortation from Paul is to “stand.” Stephanie challenges us to see that the only way to stand against spiritual attacks is first to kneel before God in submission. Standing in the Lord's strength means a posture of dependence on Him, not self-reliance. If we kneel to God, we can stand against the enemy. If we refuse, we risk kneeling to the enemy by default. Victory and Intentional Living Finally, know that the war is already won. Satan has lost, though he fights to claim small victories day-to-day. We cannot lose our salvation, but we must fight to maintain our effectiveness. The invitation is to daily put on the armor, resist the enemy, and live out our victorious identity in Christ—standing firm in faith and ready for spiritual battle. Takeaway: As a believer, you are a spiritual warrior. Your true battle is not against people or circumstances, but against spiritual forces seeking to undermine your effectiveness. The key to standing strong is daily surrender to God, putting on His armor, and living confidently in the victory Christ has secured. ----- IDENTITY IN THE BATTLE WORKBOOK ------ You have the option to go beyond listening to this series, and to participate actively.

Gospel Spice exists to inspire our generation to delight in God. We do this through the podcast, online Bible studies, leadership trainings, and more. We want to serve Christ-followers who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel. We want to love God, because He first loved us. We want to experience the fullness of life with Him—and not be content with stale, boring, leftover faith. Jesus tells us that the most important thing is to love the Lord our God, so we take Him seriously. He adds that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Now, there are many ways to do that, but I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – it is modern day slavery, and it revolts the heart of God. And so, they are our particular neighbors here at Gospel Spice. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.   Now we would love to invite you to join the team in one of three ways: 1, pray Gospel Spice forward – pray for our guests, our listeners and participants, and for us too! 2, play Gospel Spice forward by telling your friends about us, and by please leaving positive reviews and comments on your podcast listening app; and 3rd, PAY GospelSpice forward. Less than 1% of our listeners are supporting us financially. We need your help! Please pay Gospel Spice forward today. It can be a one-time donation, or a monthly one, for the amount of your choice. Your donation is fully tax-deductible in the US. Plus, once we cover our costs, a significant portion of your donation will be given back to Christian organizations that fight human trafficking, and that we vet thoroughly. So, you can know that every dime you give is used for the Kingdom of God. Every little bit helps. So, be part of the spice of the gospel by becoming a financial partner today!

Will human wisdom ever be able to match the progress of technology?This week, Thomas is joined by Soren Gordhamer, the founder of Wisdom 2.0, for a deep dive into spiritual consciousness, technology, and how we can hold on to what's most essential in life as we face the complex challenges of the digital age.As humans experience unprecedented levels of global connection, we're also facing a crisis of loneliness, fragmentation, and polarization. Soren suspects that our “inner technologies of the heart” (wisdom, compassion, and self-awareness) aren't keeping pace with algorithms, devices, and AI. He and Thomas discuss how regulating our nervous systems and tending to our spiritual practices can help offset the negative effects of technological overload.But individual evolution isn't enough. This conversation explores the critical need for tech creators to infuse their work with ethical values and a collective reigning in of greed and unfettered capitalism to prevent a dysregulated society from misusing super-intelligent technologies.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:
