    Hypnotherapy & Deep Repentance: Healing the Root Beliefs Behind Shame, Anxiety, and Addiction, with Nelson Whiting

    In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan sits down with Nelson Whiting—bestselling author of Your Problem Isn’t Pornography, certified clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of No Limits Hypnotherapy—for a grounded, expansive conversation about hypnotherapy as a form of deep repentance: getting beneath behavior to the belief systems that drive shame cycles, anxiety, compulsions, and spiritual disconnection. Nelson explains how real change happens when the conscious and subconscious mind come into agreement, why “time heals” is often a myth, and how prayer, meditation, and clinical hypnosis can help quiet survival mode, restore inner safety, and create rapid transformation through new perspective and new choices. They explore the spiritual implications of inner work, the role of agency, and why healing often requires moving from self-criticism into self-love—so you can reconnect with God, truth, and your highest identity. You’ll also hear discussion on spiritual discernment (including “false spirits”), the balance of masculine and feminine within healing, and a powerful closing reflection on being “born again” as a spiritual rebirth—held in what Meghan calls the cosmic womb.

    Symbolism + Interpretation | House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple | Lesson 2

    In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore how to interpret temple symbols and why symbolic language is central to spiritual growth, revelation, and scripture study. This lesson introduces a foundational principle of temple worship: symbols are layered, multidimensional, and designed to teach us throughout our entire lifetime. Rather than limiting symbols to one fixed meaning, viewers are invited to approach temple imagery, scripture, and sacred ritual with spiritual curiosity, humility, and discernment. You’ll learn: ✨ Why all scripture can be viewed as temple text  ✨ How symbols operate on micro and macro levels of meaning  ✨ Why spiritual stagnation happens when symbols are interpreted too narrowly  ✨ Multiple symbolic interpretations of the veil — including Christ, creation, protection, unbelief, and the divine feminine  ✨ How to let the Spirit expand your understanding over time  ✨ Practical ways to study and apply symbolism in your personal worship and scripture study This episode also explores examples from Doctrine & Covenants 109, Hebrews 10, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Book of Mormon, showing how temple symbolism weaves throughout sacred text. If you’ve ever felt that the temple holds deeper meaning than you were taught — or if you desire a more experiential relationship with God — this lesson offers tools to begin seeing with spiritual eyes. 🌿 New episodes release weekly as part of this 17-part course.  🌿 For reflection tools, guided study, journaling, and community conversations, explore the Hidden Wisdom app (link below). ⚠️ This content reflects personal spiritual study and interpretation.

    From Survival to Surrender: A Near-Death Experience and the Nature of God with Nekesha Burrell

    In this profound episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner is joined by Nekesha Burrell, who shares how her near-death experience (NDE) transformed her relationship with God, fear, and consciousness itself. Raised in a strict Christian environment and exposed to multiple faith traditions, Nekesha describes the journey from religious fear and survival mode into direct knowing of God beyond limitation. She explores breath as consciousness, intuition as divine guidance, and why peace—not fear—is the true signal of alignment with God. Together, Meghan and Nekesha discuss religious conditioning, spiritual gifts, embodiment, feminine wisdom, emotional regulation, and why spiritual evolution is not rebellion—but expansion. This episode invites listeners to release fear-based faith, trust their inner knowing, and experience God as an ever-expanding presence rather than a confined doctrine. 00:00 – 01:45 | Welcome and introduction to Nekesha Burrell01:45 – 03:35 | Nekesha describes life before her NDE: fear, survival mode, and hypervigilance03:35 – 06:05 | Growing up Christian across many denominations and faith traditions06:05 – 08:20 | Fear of God, fear of hell, and religious judgment in childhood08:20 – 09:55 | “I wasn’t rebelling—I was evolving”: leaving limitation, not God09:55 – 12:40 | Graduating from believing in God to knowing God12:40 – 14:55 | God as an ocean, humans as vessels — the water bottle analogy14:55 – 17:15 | Intuition, peace, and living without spiritual gatekeepers17:15 – 20:10 | Trusting God through chaos: waves, surrender, and fear20:10 – 22:30 | God doesn’t choose sides; humans are meant to add light22:30 – 25:15 | Breath as consciousness and spiritual responsibility25:15 – 27:40 | “We practice dying every night”: sleep as surrender27:40 – 29:50 | Nekesha’s NDE: creation space, manifestation, and returning to the body29:50 – 32:20 | “I am not a body with a soul—I am a soul in a body”32:20 – 34:20 | Expansiveness of the soul and intuitive nudges34:20 – 36:20 | Spiritual gifts, fear of deception, and religious conditioning36:20 – 38:40 | How fear blocks spiritual perception38:40 – 42:15 | Mind vs body: emotions as truth signals42:15 – 45:00 | Healing trauma through feeling, choice, and self-love45:00 – 47:10 | Boundaries, truth-telling, and reclaiming personal power47:10 – 49:40 | Feminine wisdom, intuition, and embodiment49:40 – 52:15 | Choosing peace over fear and expanding without g Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

    Paradigm Shifts | House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple | Lesson 1

    In this first episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen introduce five powerful paradigm shifts that radically transform how we understand temple worship, spiritual growth, and our relationship with Jesus Christ. This episode explores: ✨ Why you are literally meant to become the temple of God ✨ How the temple endowment is not historical reenactment, but a symbolic map of your own spiritual journey ✨ Why ordinances are symbolic of real spiritual experiences of grace and transformation ✨ How every element of the temple ultimately testifies of Christ ✨ The profound possibility of returning to the presence of Jesus Christ in mortality Rather than approaching the temple as a checklist of religious compliance, this course invites you into a living, experiential relationship with God — where the temple becomes a blueprint for spiritual maturity, identity, embodiment, and divine intimacy. If you’ve ever felt that the temple holds deeper meaning than you were taught… If you desire a more personal relationship with Christ… If you are ready to engage scripture and symbolism with spiritual discernment… This series is for you.

    Living the Mysteries: An Introduction to True Hidden Wisdom

    In this first episode of Hidden Wisdom for 2026, Meghan introduces the core framework behind the podcast’s direction: living the mysteries. Drawing from ancient traditions, Christian mysticism, symbolism, archetype, and scripture, this episode explains the difference between exoteric religion and esoteric wisdom, and why both are essential for true spiritual maturity. Meghan explores the soul’s journey as a process of repeated death and rebirth, the movement from head knowledge to embodied wisdom, and the transformation that occurs when inner false identities are released. This episode addresses spiritual development, deconstruction, shadow work, repentance, grace, and theosis, all framed within a Christ-centered path. Listeners are invited to develop “eyes to see,” reclaim personal spiritual authority, and understand how religion can prepare us for deeper, inward communion with God rather than replace it. This foundational episode sets the tone for Hidden Wisdom in 2026 and offers a grounded, Christ-rooted approach to esoteric spirituality, divine law, and living a transformed life.
