    Find Your Wings and Fly with Cheri Neal - EP 289

    Guest Cheri Neal, a trailblazing public servant and author, shares her transformative journey of resilience, faith, forgiveness, and community impact. Feeling overwhelmed after her divorce, Cheri was inspired to learn how to raise Monarch butterflies. This experience opened her up to the remarkable process of transformation -- a process which is inherent in each of us. Starting as caterpillars, the butterflies taught her about shedding limiting layers, embracing discomfort, taking risks, trusting the Divine process and learning to fly. In this episode, Cheri shares personal stories about running for public office (losing and winning), finding ways to work with those who stood against her, writing her book Message of the Monarch, walking the Camino de Santiago, and igniting joy in her community -- all which mirror the path of the Monarch. Cheri also reveals how forgiveness, collaboration, and courage lead to personal and collective growth, and her life demonstrates that the greatest contribution you can make to the world is to transform yourself.

    The Lost Religion of Jesus with Keith Akers - EP 287

    Join us for an enlightening conversation with Keith Akers, former computer consultant turned author, activist, and pioneering researcher of early Christianity. Keith shares his journey from tech to theology, where his research challenges long-held assumptions about Jesus, Nazerenes and early Christians. In this episode, we dive into: ✨ Jesus’ opposition to animal sacrifice, vegetarianism in early Jewish Christianity, and the powerful nonviolent ethos at its heart. ✨ The fascinating historical conflict between Paul and the Jewish Christians, including the Ebionites and Nazarenes, who lived as ”the poor” and rejected meat and wealth. ✨ How modern Christianity diverged from these early teachings and what that means for faith today. ✨ Insights into Keith’s philosophical journey, his discovery of Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, and the life-changing decision to embrace veganism. We also unpack the tension between pro-meat and pro-vegetatian writers in the bible and explore the controversial narratives in the New Testament about fish, sacrifices, and the deeper spiritual messages they may conceal. If you’re curious about the hidden history of Christianity, the ethical teachings of Jesus, or how faith connects with compassion for animals and the environment, this conversation will inspire and challenge you. Don’t miss Keith’s thought-provoking appearance in the documentary Christpiracy!

    Healing Through Modern Shamanism with Ray Crist - EP 285

    In this powerful conversation with Ray Crist, founder of the Jaguar Path School of Modern Shamanism, you will hear his incredible journey of healing and transformation. After an unexpected cancer diagnosis in 2003 and a prognosis of only 90 days, Ray was forced to re-evaluate everything he knew about life, death, and purpose. Leaving behind a successful career as a high-profile photographer, he embarked on a soul-searching pilgrimage across Mexico, Peru, and ultimately to the United States—seeking wisdom from indigenous healers and Quero elders. Ray shares how shamanic practices and modern medicine guided him through profound healing, how close brushes with death changed his life perspective, and how every moment since has been a gift. He discusses the physiology of the healing process and opens up about the power of listening within, letting go of material pursuits, and embracing a purposeful new path. Ray’s story is a transformative lesson for anyone questioning their purpose or feeling trapped by the weight of daily life.
