The Alma Y Tierra Podcast

Claudia Howick

In this podcast, we journey together through the chaos and wonder of this human experience. Guided by faith, rooted in Jesus and flooded with the Spirit of God, this podcast is for all of us, no matter where your feet fall on the spiritual path. This is not your average well-being podcast; it is so much more. I believe that God has given me the gift of my voice to guide others towards His awaiting presence, to shine a light on to Truth through my own, unfolding story. Together, we will learn to trust the process, because this is where the magic happens.

    the cost of true humility, through the eyes of Jesus' disciples

    hello sweet souls and welcome back to the show! in today's longer episode we're talking about a powerful scene from the series The Chosen, entitled 'Matthew 4:24'. we also read the whole of Psalm 119 (which is, in part, the reason for its extensiveness!) the reason that this scene stuck with me, and why i felt compelled to record a whole episode about it, is because Jesus appears once: at the very end. whilst this scene is inspired by a verse in the Bible (where Jesus is out all day in Syria healing the sick - and anyone and everyone), the show uses its artistic license to portray Jesus' disciples arguing amongst one another, whilst He is out, about who is more worthy of being called by Him. when Jesus returns, His humanity is apparent; He is exhausted beyond human comprehension and in this moment we are reminded - He is more human than we could ever conceive... And He is... God. needless to say, whatever your personal beliefs about that, there's a deeper lesson for all of us that i explore in this episode - that is equally humbling as it is empowering and encouraging for us when it comes to working out, (as we all do, day-in, day-out) how to live our lives to the fullness of our humanity, in service to others and in search of living earnestly. connect with me. ⁠ love, blessings and light, Claudia.

    the unforeseen fruits of seeking God

    hello sweet souls and welcome back to the show after a loooong break! today's episode was inspired by musings i had written down after meditating on Proverbs 18, as well as a little raw catch-up/re-introduction. a huge takeaway from this episode, after re-reading these notes i had made some months ago, was that all that needs to happen in order to divert from God, whether that's His will, prayer life, or being in constant connection with Him, is for me to divert even the smallest amount of attention in my periphery to the apparent (and false) fruits of searching for validation from anything that lies outside of that in-dwelling place wherein only God can reside. my birthday episode. (i apologise for the sound feedback on this episode - i don't have my mic stand with me and am recording on my main podcasting microphone for overall better sound quality, so i'm navigating how to properly hold it without the stand for optimal listening! thank you for being patient with me. x) connect with me. love, blessings and light, Claudia.

    at twenty-eight, i am finally being honest with myself

    hello sweet souls and welcome back to the Alma y Tierra podcast. something in me tells me that 2026 is going to be the year of radical honesty. as i turned 28 earlier this month, i thought i'd share the annual birthday video that i make for myself, with you. i've been doing this consistently for three years in a row and last year's was shared to youtube, but this is the first year of putting it on the podcast. enjoy the raw, realness of this unfiltered episode, and i wish for it to inspire you to connect to your vulnerability in whatever way your spirit is calling you towards right now... connect with me. love, blessings and light, Claudia.

    the origin of inspiration

    hello sweet souls and welcome back to the Alma Y Tierra podcast; today we're diving into the topic of inspiration and motivation through an unexpectedly spiritual lens. this episode was absolutely God-breathed… as I discuss the etymology of the word ‘inspiration’, derived from the Latin ‘inspirare’ - meaning 'divine guidance' - and the meaning of ‘inspire’, coming from the Old French ‘inspiracion’: a noun of action meaning 'breathed upon'… as i was speaking, the visual of God bringing water out of the dry rocks through Moses came to me. i realised that, just like the Israelites were complaining of the thirst that literally 'tormented' them, we, too, neglect God being the Literal and Only source of inspiration, from a perspective that transcends both the literal and figurative meaning. for it was God, the fount of life itself, who humbled Himself from on high to live among us, as one of us, who created something out of nothing; He who defined existence before existence even knew of itself. 'Begotten, not made'... i realise, now, that a notion of inspiration beyond or outside of God cannot be, because its very conception is the breath that God Himself ‘inspired’ into Adam’s lifeless body to give him, and thus all of humanity henceforth, life. Scripture referenced: Exodus 17:1-7; 2 Timothy 3:16; Genesis 2:7. ‘How To Act On Inspiration | you are ready to live purposefully' - YouTube video love, blessings and light, claudia.
