Nate shares how he recently visited a local pagan market with various vendor booths set up - and for clarification, pagan doesn't mean blood sacrifices, but a rather broad spectrum of non-christians. There were many craftsmen present - wood workers, jewelry makers, bakers, food trucks and various other booths. There was also a booth with members fr…

We wrap up part 4 of Celeste's questions by discussing that attachment brings suffering & pain, so your ego must 'die daily', as Paul said.

We dive into part 3 of listener questions: "Do souls actually choose a plan to incarnate and live a life of pure evil? To torture and rape and murder the innocent, to wreak unspeakable horrors and take delight in these things? Is this a sick, twisted version of "ordered steps"? Or could it be the human spirit was rotten and overrode the soul's plan…

We dive into part 2 of listener questions: "The Bible makes the distinction several times between the soul and the spirit. Is the spirit our "human spirit", the fleshly part of us that has inherited DNA which defines our very characteristics? Can this human spirit make choices not in alignment with the soul's plan? (In church speak this would have …

I've always been very much an individual who believes in free will. That there are good and bad consequences to every decision I make. That I'm ultimately in charge of where my path leads. You speak of "ordered steps", which is also referenced in scripture. This sounds like predestination, which eliminates personal choice. I've heard Dolores Cannon…

We discuss how its harder, but more rewarding, to work out your own spirituality (without it becoming legalism); how it's easy to follow someone else's laundry list of do's/don'ts & be spoon-fed their version of 'god' but it shortchanges our souls; that being surrounded by nature is its own kind of 'church'; and that sometimes you just need to be a…

In our experience, many religious leaders proclaim themselves as 'THE Mouthpiece of God' in order to control and gatekeep.

While they remain in the shallow end, they have no concept of the depth where you are, an…
