    Was Jesus a Christian or a Shaman?

    What happens when the beliefs you were raised with collide with experiences you can't explain? In this episode, I share my journey of exploring other spiritual paths while navigating the deep tension left by Orthodox Christian conditioning, especially the instinct to see everything through the lens of "God vs. the devil." From a powerful experience in a sweat lodge to a fresh look at the Gospels, we explore why Yeshua's use of the natural world to heal sparked accusations that His miracles came from demonic power. Then we dissect His powerful response as a way we can discern truth from error in our own lives. By stepping back from inherited assumptions, we examine what made Him so controversial to the religious elite, and what His life might still be challenging us to question today.

    Jesus Had an Ego: What That Means for Your Spiritual Growth

    What if Yeshua did not want us to worship Him, but to follow Him? In this episode, we explore the reality that Yeshua lived as both fully human and fully divine. He didn’t bypass the human experience. He felt emotions, faced challenges, and had to grow into his calling just like we do. From moments of deep connection to moments of anguish and surrender, his life reveals a path that includes both the sacred and the struggle.  We also look at the idea that Yeshua had an ego not as something sinful, but as part of the human experience he came to embody and transform. His journey shows us that wrestling with fear, doubt, and even resistance does not separate us from the divine. It can be part of the process of becoming aligned with it. Even in facing his death and crucifixion, we see the tension between human instinct and divine surrender. This perspective opens the door to a more compassionate and integrated way of walking the path. It moves us beyond an either/or mentality and into a both/and. Yeshua becomes not just someone to admire, but someone whose life gives us permission to be human while growing into our own divinity. If this resonates with you, you are invited to join Gnosis Rising, our free online community where we explore these teachings together and support one another in living a path that honors both our humanity and our holiness.

    The Elemental Blueprint: Mastering Your Emotions Through Fire, Water, Earth, and Air

    What if you viewed all your emotions as natural as the elements around you? This would be mastery of the mind, and the elements can actually help you.  In this episode, I break down the Elemental Blueprint, pairing the four elements with the four core emotions that most of us experience: 🔥 Anger (Fire) 💧 Sadness (Water) 🌱 Loneliness (Earth) 🌬️ Stress (Air) These emotions aren’t random or wrong. They are natural forces moving through you, just like the elements themselves. When you learn how to work with them instead of against them, everything changes. I also unpack the four common ways we get stuck: suppression, escape, explosion, and rumination, and how these patterns keep us operating in our unconscious patterns. From there, I walk you through a simple 3 phase path to transformation: emotional awareness, emotional resilience, and emotional alchemy. If you’re ready to understand your emotional patterns on a deeper level and start working with your inner elemens... Take the Elemental Blueprint Quiz! This will lead you to discover your own archetype and begin a proven path towards emotional mastery. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 https://www.reapyourroots.com/elemental-blueprint

    The Mystical Christ: The True Story of Yeshua's Life

    In this episode, I share my personal journey with building a relationship with Yeshua bar Yosef, who many of us know as Jesus Christ. Beginning with a deeply formative upbringing in orthodox Christianity and my time serving an LDS Mormon mission, those years shaped my devotion, discipline, and love for Christ. They gave me a foundation of reverence that I still carry. I also speak to my radical spiritual awakening, which didn’t pull me away from Jesus but rather expanded my understanding of who he was, what he embodied, and what he was inviting us into. As my worldview widened, I began to see Yeshua not only as someone to worship, but as someone to follow. I wrestled with resistance around the idea of “Christ” as a living state of being rather than a title reserved for one man. That tension revealed the subtle ways many of us are conditioned to keep divinity at a distance. We are honoring it, but never fully inhabiting it ourselves, which is what Yeshua commanded us to do. This episode is an honest reflection on the inner roadblocks I encountered while learning to accept Christ-consciousness as something we are meant to grow into. From there, the conversation turns toward the mystical Christ and the deeper meaning behind Yeshua’s life and teachings. We explore stories, symbols, and intentions behind his actions. We speak of where He might have been from 13-30 years old. And we speak to how He performed healings and miracles. Rather than placing Jesus beyond reach, this episode invites listeners to see Him as our brother who simply laid out the divine blueprint in human form. This episode is ultimately about resurrection of His Christed teachings that are encoded within us. If this conversation resonates, you’re invited to Gnosis Rising, a new free online spiritual community launching March 1st, 2026. Gnosis Rising welcomes all spiritual and religious perspectives and exists to help us remember, embody, and live the teachings of the mystical Christ together. To remember the way within!

    The Fallen World Myth: How We Forgot the Earth is Sacred

    For centuries, the idea of a “fallen world” has shaped how we relate to the Earth. We have been taught that nature is temporary, corrupt, or spiritually inferior. In this episode, Rachel and I explore how that belief quietly severed our responsibility to the living world, and how Christianity’s departure from earth-based spirituality served systems of control rather than spiritual truth. We share our own journey of realizing how looking to a future redemption was used to justify not taking care of the land and protecting all of creation in the present moment. We discuss how the Creator might even be trying to have a relationship with Him through His creations. The reality is that Yeshua’s teachings were deeply rooted in relationship with the elements, plants, and the natural rhythms of life. From seeds and soil to wind, water, and fire, nature was never separate from the sacred, but rather Spirit permeated all of Nature itself. He spoke with it constantly.  This is another pillar in our new free community that is set to launch March 1'st 2026.

    A Father God Alone: The Missing Feminine in the Western World

    What happens when the Divine is imagined as only male? In this episode, Rachel and I explore how the Western world — shaped by Christianity and patriarchal power structures — lost touch with the Sacred Feminine, and the psychological, relational, and spiritual consequences that followed. We share our experience being raised in western religion, and our path of waking up to these consequences in our own lives.  This conversation deconstructs the shadow of patriarchy in religion, culture, and identity, while pointing toward a path of integration: reclaiming the Feminine within ourselves, our faith, and our society. Rather than rejecting spirituality, we examine how restoring balance between the masculine and feminine may be essential for healing trauma, ending cycles of control and shame, and creating a more embodied, compassionate world. Towards the end we speak of 3 central women in Christianity, and how their stories may have been tainted by a hyper-masculine point of view. Only by rewriting these stories will the Goddess return to give us balance and wholeness in our lives!

    There is No Second Coming: Heaven on Earth Must Happen Within

    We’re not waiting for a savior, a solar flash, or some future ascension event. The real shift happens when we embody Heaven here and now through capturing love and light, then emanating it out to those around us. This podcast explores how to anchor divine awareness in daily life and become the living bridge between Heaven and Earth. For many of us, we first have to get past a lot of conditioning, such as beliefs that we are inherently deficient and meant to only suffer. That consciousness is a stumbling block to our inevitable Ascension. Then we have to actually embody what all the saints and sages of old told us to become. Jesus said follow me. Buddha took the hidden knowledge to the poor and needy. They all taught about how to find divinity within. All of them preached peace and unity. They said this is the only way "back" to Heaven. What a needed message for these divisive times. We are experiencing a contraction that is necessary for our expansion, and Trevor and I believe that the expansion is definitely coming. New Earth is NOW. But its going to require all of us! Lets build the Kingdom within together.  Connect on Instagram Here: @trevorstakeontheworld @jakedaybell @reapyourroots Visit the Apothecary Here: https://warriorsinthegarden.square.site Check out the Brotherhood Here: https://deeprootsbrotherhood.com/
