    The Word of God, by Humans: Contextualizing the Bible and Tips for Study

    In this extended episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner offers a courageous and deeply grounded exploration of what it truly means to call the Bible “the Word of God.” Drawing from history, theology, mysticism, and personal discernment, Meghan invites listeners to approach scripture—especially the Old Testament—not as an inerrant divine transcript, but as a profoundly human record of humanity wrestling with God. This episode examines biblical authorship, political and cultural influences, polytheism in ancient Israel, the suppression of the divine feminine, and the role of ego, power, and hierarchy in shaping scripture. Meghan introduces the four levels of Hebrew interpretation, demonstrates how symbolic and mystical readings restore depth and coherence, and reframes troubling biblical narratives as invitations to inner transformation rather than external obedience. Ultimately, this episode is a call to spiritual maturity: to trust Christ, cultivate discernment, and allow God—not institutions—to be your primary tutor. For anyone studying the Bible this year, navigating faith transitions, or seeking a lived experience of the Divine beyond fear, this conversation offers clarity, permission, and profound hope. 00:00 – 02:40 | Introduction and why this topic matters now 02:40 – 04:00 | Why the Old Testament creates tension and confusion 04:00 – 06:45 | Personal discernment and direct relationship with God 06:45 – 09:45 | Projection, ego, and humans creating God in their image 09:45 – 12:45 | The Bible as a human record—not divine dictation 12:45 – 15:30 | Violence, fear, and misattributed divine commands 15:30 – 18:15 | Ancient Israel’s polytheism and the divine council 18:15 – 21:40 | Spiritual evolution and changing views of God 21:40 – 24:45 | Political power, Rome, and biblical curation 24:45 – 27:30 | Loss of feminine wisdom and oral tradition 27:30 – 30:45 | Asherah, goddess suppression, and missing feminine imagery 30:45 – 34:15 | Excluded texts and erased mystical traditions 34:15 – 37:00 | Four levels of Hebrew interpretation 37:00 – 40:15 | Symbolism as the language of scripture 40:15 – 43:00 | Cain and Abel as inner allegory 43:00 – 46:30 | Discernment, humility, and spiritual maturity 46:30 – 50:45 | Translation bias and priesthood hierarchy 50:45 – 55:30 | Christ revealing the true character of God Thank you for listening to Hidden Wisdom!

    The Tower + the Bride: The Hidden Feminine in Prophecy

    In this final episode of 2025, Meghan reflects on her four-year journey through second coming prophecy, symbolism, and the rediscovery of the Divine Feminine. What began as a study of last-days events has evolved into a deeper realization: Zion’s redemption and the rise of the Divine Feminine are inseparable. Drawing from LDS canon, apocryphal texts like The Gospel of the Beloved Companion, ancient traditions, temple symbolism, and universal archetypes, Meghan shows how the feminine principles of intuition, relationship, heart-centered wisdom, and spiritual authority have always been woven into prophecy. She explores Mary Magdalene as “the tower,” Zion as the bride, the birthing symbolism of the new heaven and new earth, and the ways masculine and feminine partnership create the spiritual maturity required for Christ’s return. This episode dives deep into:  • the parable of the tower  • the true meaning of Magdalene  • the feminine role in death, rebirth, and the millennium  • Zion as a feminine state of being  • the partnership of masculine and feminine energies  • global prophetic traditions pointing to feminine renewal A powerful close to the year and an invitation to reclaim the feminine in your own spiritual path.
