Amazon: HERE Praise for When Mary Calls“Margarita Mooney Clayton reminds us of something the modern world has almost forgotten: that Mary is not a sectarian figure but the mother of ALL who follow Christ—Pentecostal, Orthodox, and Catholic. This remarkable book rekindles our sense of wonder at the mysterious partnership between the human and the divine. It invites readers to rediscover a faith in which heaven touches earth, and miracles lead us deeper into truth. When Mary Calls is essential reading.”—Eric Metaxas, #1 NewYork Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and host of Socrates in the City and The Eric Metaxas Show “An encounter with Mary is unexpected in our time—because she’s almost universally misunderstood. Dr. Margarita Mooney Clayton traces the many ways over that wall of misunderstanding. First among them is Scripture, of course, and the beauty of biblical typology. I love this book.” —Dr. Scott Hahn, the Father Michael Scanlan TOR Professor of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at Franciscan University of Steubenville and author of Hail Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God

    Pronoia: The Voice of Divine Forethought

    In the mystical cosmology preserved within the Gnostic texts of late antiquity, the universe is not only a physical creation but a vast unfolding of consciousness. At the heart of this unfolding stands a powerful and mysterious figure known as Pronoia, the divine Forethought, the living intelligence of the cosmos that awakens humanity from spiritual forgetfulness.In this episode, we explore the luminous figure of Pronoia as she appears in the Gnostic text The Trimorphic Protennoia, one of the extraordinary writings discovered in the Nag Hammadi library in Egypt in 1945. Speaking in the first person, Pronoia describes herself as the First Thought of the divine mind, a presence that descends again and again into the world to awaken the divine spark within humanity.Who was Pronoia? How did ancient Gnostic mystics understand her role within the structure of the cosmos? And what does it mean to hear the “voice” of divine insight within one’s own consciousness?Through myth, history, and reflection, this episode explores one of the most poetic and profound expressions of the divine feminine in ancient spiritual literature.References The Trimorphic Protennoia.

    The Pistis Sophia

    In this  exploration of the Pistis Sophia, we journey into one of the most mysterious and transformative texts of the ancient Gnostic world. Far more than an obscure mystical document, the Pistis Sophia offers a profound vision of consciousness, suffering, spiritual fragmentation, healing, and awakening.Together we explore:Who Sophia is and why she became one of the most important symbols of divine wisdom in mystical spirituality The difference between the Pistis Sophia and other Gnostic Sophia myths found in The Hypostasis of the Archons and On the Origin of the World The story of Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, the archons, and the hidden divine spark within humanity The risen Christ as a cosmic teacher revealing hidden mysteries to his disciples after the resurrection Sophia’s descent into chaos and what it symbolizes psychologically and spiritually False light, discernment, trauma, awakening, repentance, and restoration Why the Pistis Sophia still speaks powerfully to modern experiences of alienation, exhaustion, and the search for meaning The deeper Gnostic understanding of gnosis as remembrance rather than mere belief This episode also explores the historical origins of the text, the Askew Codex, the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library, and the evolution of Sophia across ancient mystical traditions.Primary TextsPistis Sophia.

    Revisiting Mary Magdalene: Apostle of the Inner Kingdom

    For centuries, Mary Magdalene has been misunderstood, diminished, and misrepresented, cast as a repentant sinner rather than recognized as one of the most important spiritual figures of early Christianity. Yet the earliest texts tell a very different story: one of a woman who carried profound spiritual authority, intimate teaching, and a radical vision of inner awakening. In this expansive episode, we journey into the life, legacy, and gospel of Mary Magdalene. Beginning with a quiet microstory at the tomb, we explore how Mary became the first witness to the resurrection, why her voice unsettled the early Church, and how her teachings, preserved in the Gospel of Mary, offer a spirituality rooted not in obedience or hierarchy, but in remembrance, discernment, and inner authority. We examine how and why Mary Magdalene was later miscast as a prostitute, what her gospel reveals about the nature of the soul and liberation from fear, and why her voice was sidelined as institutional Christianity took shape. Drawing from biblical scholarship, early Christian texts, and mystical theology, this episode invites listeners to encounter Mary Magdalene not as a symbol of shame or redemption, but as a teacher of wisdom and an apostle of the inner kingdom. This is an episode for anyone drawn to a spirituality that is embodied, mature, and deeply personaland for those who sense that something essential was lost when women’s voices were removed from the center of sacred tradition.  ReferencesThe Gospel of Mary (Berlin Codex) The Gospel of John 20:11–18 The Gospel of Luke 8:1–3 Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic Gospels Karen L.
