    Reading the Book of Jeremiah Carnally vs Spiritually, Ep 43

    In this episode, we continue our journey through The King James Bible. After traveling from Genesis through Isaiah, we now enter the deeply emotional and prophetic world of the Book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah tells the story of a prophet called by God during one of Judah’s darkest periods. He witnesses idolatry, corruption, broken covenants, political turmoil, the rise of Babylon, and eventually the destruction and exile he had spent years warning about. Yet beneath Jeremiah’s message of judgment is an extraordinary promise of repentance, restoration, and a New Covenant. Traditionally, Judaism reads Jeremiah within the historical experience of Judah, Jerusalem, the Babylonian exile, and God's continuing covenant relationship with Israel. Modern Christianity shares much of this historical understanding while placing special emphasis on Jeremiah’s promise that God would establish a New Covenant and write His law upon the human heart. But what happens when we read Jeremiah spiritually rather than a historical event (carnally)? Through the lens of Tyler Doka’s teachings in New Jerusalem, we explore whether Jeremiah’s people, nations, captivity, destruction, and restoration might also describe conditions within the individual. Is Jerusalem not a physical city? Does Babylon represent spiritual confusion or captivity to false beliefs? Could idolatry describe what happens when we replace divine truth with false teachings? Does exile actually represent separation from spiritual understanding? And could returning from captivity represent an awakening and return to truth? Jeremiah is filled with powerful symbols that invite these questions. We examine the potter and the clay, the broken vessel, the good and evil figs, Jeremiah’s persecution, the seventy years of Babylonian captivity, the promise of the righteous Branch, and God's repeated call for His people to return. At the center of our discussion is one of Jeremiah’s most important promises: the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31:31–34. God declares that His law will be placed within His people and written “in their hearts.” What does that mean? Is Jeremiah describing a future covenant in biblical history? Is he describing an inward transformation in which truth is no longer merely something taught externally? Is the movement from an external law toward something written within the heart reveal a larger biblical movement from the carnal toward the spiritual? We also explore Jeremiah himself, the prophet sometimes remembered as the “weeping prophet.” He is rejected, mocked, threatened, imprisoned, and opposed by religious and political authorities, yet he continues delivering a message few people want to hear. That raises another difficult question: Why is truth so often rejected when it challenges what people already believe? Jeremiah moves through a powerful spiritual pattern: Call → Rebellion → Warning → Repentance → Judgment → Captivity → Restoration → New Covenant Whether you understand these events historically, prophetically, spiritually, symbolically, or through a combination of these perspectives, Jeremiah challenges us to examine these patterns that might reveal within ourselves. Ultimately, we ask: Is Jeremiah telling the story of a nation that abandoned God and went into captivity, or is it revealing what happens within us when we leave truth, experience spiritual captivity, and are restored through a covenant written upon the heart?

    Reading the Book of Isaiah Carnally vs Spiritually, Ep 42

    In this episode, we continue our journey through The King James Bible. After traveling from Genesis through the Song of Solomon, we now enter one of the Bible’s most powerful and prophetic books: Isaiah. The Book of Isaiah moves through dramatic visions of rebellion, judgment, war, corrupt leadership, suffering, salvation, restoration, and hope. We encounter Judah and Jerusalem, Assyria and Babylon, the calling of Isaiah, the mysterious sign of Immanuel, the Suffering Servant, the glory of Zion, and ultimately the promise of new heavens and a new earth. Traditionally, Judaism understands Isaiah within the history, covenant, judgment, and restoration of Israel, while Christianity also sees many of its passages as prophecies pointing toward Jesus Christ and the Messiah. But what happens when we read Isaiah spiritually rather than only carnally? Through the lens of Tyler Doka’s teachings in New Jerusalem, we explore whether Isaiah’s nations, cities, wars, destruction, captivity, and restoration might also describe spiritual realities. Jerusalem and Zion never represented physical locations. Babylon actually represents confusion and false teaching. Blindness and deafness describe an inability to perceive spiritual truth. Light and darkness represents understanding and ignorance. And, the promised restoration describes an inward transformation rather than only an outward event. We examine some of Isaiah’s most famous and controversial passages, including Immanuel, the promised child, the voice crying in the wilderness, the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53, “precept upon precept; line upon line,” the proclamation of liberty in Isaiah 61, and the new heavens and new earth. Special attention is given to Isaiah 28:9–13 and its mysterious language concerning teaching knowledge, “precept upon precept,” “line upon line,” and speaking to the people “with stammering lips and another tongue.” We compare how these words are understood within their biblical context with Tyler’s teachings concerning language, Scripture, and spiritual understanding. Throughout the episode, we return to a central tension: What is Isaiah actually prophesying? Are these prophecies describing events that occurred in ancient history? Are they predictions about the Messiah and events still to come? Or do the symbolic teachings of spiritual conditions lie within each of us?  We also explore one of the greatest differences between Jewish and Christian readings of Isaiah: Who is the Servant? Who is the Messiah? Rather than ignoring these differences, we examine how the same passages can produce dramatically different interpretations. From Isaiah’s terrifying vision of the LORD in chapter 6 to the extraordinary promise near the book’s conclusion: “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” - Isaiah 65:17 Isaiah takes the reader on a journey from rebellion and blindness toward judgment, awakening, comfort, redemption, and restoration within. Whether you think Isaiah is historical, prophetically, spiritually, symbolically, or through a combination of these perspectives, this episode invites you to look again at familiar passages and ask whether there may be more happening beneath the surface. What to consider: Is Isaiah primarily predicting what God will do in history and the future, or is its journey from blindness and judgment to light and restoration describing a spiritual transformation taking place within us?

    Reading the Song of Solomon Carnally vs Spiritually, Ep 41

    In this episode, we continue our journey through The King James Bible. After traveling from Genesis through Ecclesiastes, we arrive at one of the Bible’s most poetic, intimate, and sometimes misunderstood books: The Song of Solomon, also known as the Song of Songs. Unlike books centered on laws, battles, kings, prophecy, or wisdom sayings, the Song of Solomon speaks through the language of love, beauty, desire, longing, separation, searching, and union. We encounter a man and a woman expressing passionate love for one another. They admire each other, search for each other, experience separation, celebrate intimacy, and ultimately describe a love that cannot easily be extinguished. But is this a simple ancient love poem? Traditional Christian interpretations have often understood the relationship between the bride and her beloved as having a deeper spiritual meaning, pointing toward Christ and His Church or God's relationship with His people. Jewish interpretation has also developed a rich allegorical tradition in which the Song can represent the covenant relationship between God and Israel. In this episode, we take that conversation one step further by examining the Song of Solomon through the spiritual framework found in the teachings of Tyler Doka and New Jerusalem. If the Bible describes spiritual realities through physical images, what is the Song of Solomon actually be saying to us? Could the beloved represent divine truth? Could the bride represent the spiritual person? Could the search for the beloved portray humanity's search for truth? Could the gardens, wine, fragrances, spices, fountains, kisses, and marriage imagery describe different aspects of an inward spiritual relationship? And could the moments of separation and reunion represent what happens when we lose sight of spiritual truth and begin searching for it again? At the center of this discussion is an important question: Does a spiritual interpretation require us to reject the physical one? Perhaps the Song can celebrate genuine human love while simultaneously using that experience to communicate something greater. Maybe the carnal and spiritual readings do not always have to compete. We explore the maiden's longing, the mutual admiration between the lovers, the repeated searching for the beloved, the beautiful garden imagery, moments of separation and reunion, and the book's powerful final declaration that “love is strong as death.” Along the way, we compare Jewish, Christian, and Tyler-based interpretations while also considering thematic parallels involving divine love, devotion, longing, surrender, and spiritual union found in Islam, Hindu traditions of bhakti, Buddhism, and Sikh devotional teachings. These traditions are not presented as teaching the same theology, but their differences and similarities give us a wider conversation about humanity's desire for something beyond itself. Is the bride searching for a man, or does her longing represent something within all of us? Is marriage simply a marriage, or can union between two people become an image of spiritual union? And when the Song declares, “My beloved is mine, and I am his,” what does that mean carnally, and what might it mean spiritually? Whether you understand the Song of Solomon as romantic poetry, a celebration of marriage, covenant imagery, spiritual allegory, or some combination of these perspectives, this episode invites us to look beyond the surface without losing the beauty of what is already there. Ultimately, we ask: Is the Song of Solomon simply an ancient celebration of human love, or is its language of desire, longing, searching, and union revealing something deeper about humanity’s relationship with God?

    Reading the Book of Ecclesiastes Carnally vs Spiritually, Ep 40

    In this episode, we continue our journey through The King James Bible, moving from the wisdom of Proverbs into one of the Bible’s most philosophical and thought-provoking books: Ecclesiastes. Traditionally we’re taught that the teachings are written by Solomon and known as Kohelet in the Hebrew Bible, Ecclesiastes wrestles with one of humanity’s oldest questions: What gives life meaning? The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem searches everywhere for an answer. He examines wisdom, pleasure, wealth, work, accomplishment, power, relationships, and the pursuit of success. Yet again and again, he encounters the same troubling conclusion: “Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” But is Ecclesiastes really teaching that life is meaningless? Traditionally, Judaism and Christianity understand Ecclesiastes as confronting the temporary nature of human existence and the limitations of worldly achievement. Life is uncertain. Wealth disappears. Generations come and go. Both the wise and the foolish eventually die. Yet the book ultimately directs the reader toward God, concluding with the call to fear God and keep His commandments. But what happens when we read Ecclesiastes spiritually rather than carnally? Through the lens of Tyler Doka’s teachings in New Jerusalem, we explore whether the Preacher’s search might also describe an inward spiritual journey. Could the phrase “under the sun” represent more than physical life on Earth? Could it symbolize seeing reality through the natural or carnal mind? Could “vanity” represent our attempts to find eternal fulfillment in temporary things? And could the Preacher’s endless search reveal what happens when human reasoning attempts to discover spiritual truth on its own? From this perspective, Ecclesiastes raises an uncomfortable possibility: perhaps the problem is not that life has no meaning, but that we repeatedly search for lasting meaning in carnal things, which do not last. We explore the famous teaching that there is “a time to every purpose under the heaven,” along with Ecclesiastes’ reflections on injustice, oppression, wealth, pleasure, work, wisdom, foolishness, aging, death, judgment, and humanity’s inability to control the future. We also compare these ideas with themes found in Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. While these traditions differ significantly in their understanding of God and ultimate reality, they also wrestle with the temporary nature of worldly possessions, attachment, ego, suffering, mortality, spiritual wisdom, and the search for something greater than material existence. Is Ecclesiastes pessimistic or is it exposing the illusion that surrounds us? Is the Preacher telling us to stop enjoying life, or teaching us that pleasure cannot become our God? And when everything we build, own, accomplish, and accumulate eventually disappears, what remains? Whether you understand Ecclesiastes as wisdom literature, philosophical reflection, spiritual symbolism, or a combination of these perspectives, this episode invites us to confront a question most people eventually have to face: If everything we spend our lives chasing is temporary, where should we look for something eternal? Ultimately, we ask: Is Ecclesiastes telling us that life itself is meaningless or that everything becomes meaningless when we search for lasting truth in carnal things?

    Reading the Book of Proverbs Carnally Versus Spiritually, Ep 38

    In this episode, we continue our journey through The King James Bible. After traveling from Genesis through the Book of Psalms, we now enter Proverbs, one of Scripture’s great books of wisdom. Traditionally attributed largely to King Solomon, Proverbs contains teachings about wisdom, foolishness, morality, relationships, money, parenting, speech, discipline, work, and righteous living. In Judaism, Mishlei (Proverbs) belongs to the Ketuvim, or Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In modern Christianity, Proverbs is commonly taught as practical instruction for living a life that honors God. But what happens when we read Proverbs spiritually rather than carnally? Through the lens of the teachings of Tyler Doka in New Jerusalem, we explore whether Proverbs may be describing something deeper rather than outward behavior. What if wisdom represents spiritual understanding, while folly represents spiritual blindness? What if the wise man and the fool symbolize the spiritual and natural (physical) man? What if the heart represents our inner being, the path represents our spiritual walk, and the repeated contrast between life and death points toward truth versus deception? From this perspective, Proverbs becomes more than a collection of useful advice. It becomes a guide to spiritual discernment. We examine some of the book’s most familiar teachings, including trusting in the LORD rather than our own understanding, guarding the heart, the fear of the LORD as the beginning of wisdom, choosing wisdom over riches, raising children, controlling our words, friendship, forgiveness, and the famous description of the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31. We also explore some of Proverbs’ more mysterious imagery. Who is Wisdom, portrayed almost as a person calling humanity toward truth? Could the “strange woman” represent more than literal adultery? Does she symbolize seductive false teachings or spiritual deception? And when Proverbs warns that there is a way that seems right to a person but leads to death, could it be challenging our confidence in the natural human mind itself? Throughout the conversation, we compare these questions with traditional Jewish and Christian interpretations while also exploring thematic parallels with Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. Different traditions approach God, salvation, revelation, and ultimate truth very differently, but each contains important discussions surrounding wisdom, ignorance, discernment, righteous living, humility, and the dangers of ego and deception. At the center of our discussion is a simple but challenging question: What is wisdom? Is wisdom intelligence? Good judgment? Moral behavior? Knowledge of Scripture? Or is true wisdom something that can only come when human understanding gives way to spiritual understanding? Whether you read Proverbs as practical advice, moral instruction, divine wisdom, spiritual symbolism, or a combination of these perspectives, this episode invites you to reconsider a book whose familiar sayings may contain much deeper meaning. Ultimately, we ask: Is Proverbs simply a collection of wise advice for everyday life, or is it teaching us how to awaken from spiritual blindness and discern the difference between truth and deception?

    Reading the Book of Psalms Carnally vs Spiritually Ep 37

    In this episode, we continue our journey through The King James Bible by exploring the Book of Psalms through two very different lenses: the traditional understandings found in Judaism and modern Christianity, and the symbolic, spiritual framework taught in New Jerusalem by Tyler Doka. Known as Tehillim in the Hebrew Bible, Psalms is a collection of 150 songs, prayers, praises, laments, and expressions of faith. Rather than telling one continuous story, Psalms takes us through the full range of human experience—joy and sorrow, confidence and fear, repentance and forgiveness, suffering and deliverance, doubt and faith. Traditionally, Judaism has treasured the Psalms as prayers and songs of praise deeply woven into Jewish worship and personal devotion. Christianity likewise embraces the Psalms while also interpreting passages such as Psalms 2, 22, and 110 through a Messianic lens pointing toward Jesus Christ. But what happens when we read Psalms spiritually rather than carnally? Through the lens of Tyler Doka's teachings, we explore whether the people, places, enemies, battles, and imagery of Psalms might describe spiritual realities occurring within us. Could the enemies David battles represent spiritual adversaries? Could darkness and light describe different states of understanding? Could Jerusalem and Zion represent something that never were geographical locations? And when David cries out to God for deliverance, is the struggle portraying an inward battle between carnal thinking and spiritual understanding? We explore some of the most recognizable passages in Scripture, including Psalm 23 and the Good Shepherd, Psalm 51 and repentance, Psalm 119 and the Word of God, and Psalm 150 and the call to praise. We also examine Psalms of suffering, wisdom, creation, deliverance, prophecy, worship, and hope. Along the way, we compare these themes with other religious traditions. We consider the Zabur and Dawud (David) in Islam, Hindu traditions of devotional praise and bhakti, Buddhist teachings concerning suffering and attachment, and Sikh traditions of devotional hymns, remembrance of God, humility, and surrender to Divine Will. These comparisons are not presented as identical teachings. Instead, they allow us to ask how different traditions have approached some of humanity's most enduring spiritual experiences: suffering, fear, repentance, devotion, praise, surrender, hope, and the search for God. When David speaks of enemies, warfare, valleys, shepherds, mountains, waters, darkness, light, Jerusalem, Zion, and deliverance, is he only describing something happening within us, Ultimately, we ask: Are the Psalms simply ancient prayers and songs directed toward God, or are they also revealing the prayers, battles, fears, praises, and spiritual transformations taking place within every one of us?

    Reading the Book of Job Carnally vs Spiritually Ep 36

    In this episode, we continue our journey through the King James Bible by exploring the Book of Job through very different lenses: its place within Judaism and the Hebrew Bible, its traditional interpretation in modern Christianity, and the symbolic, spiritual framework taught in *New Jerusalem* by Tyler Doka. The Book of Job confronts one of humanity's oldest and most difficult questions: Why do righteous people suffer? Job is a righteous and prosperous man whose world suddenly collapses. He loses his possessions, his children, and his health. His friends insist that suffering must be evidence of wrongdoing, while Job maintains his innocence and desperately seeks an explanation from God. Eventually, God answers from the whirlwind, not by explaining everything that happened, but by confronting Job with the limitations of human understanding. Traditionally, Job is read as a profound exploration of suffering, faith, divine justice, perseverance, and trusting God when His purposes cannot be understood. But what if the story of Job was never a physical event that took place in history? Instead, it is describing something happening within. Through the lens of Tyler Doka's teachings, we explore the story of Job as representing a condition of consciousness and that his ordeal portrays an inward spiritual experience. Job's friends represent human or religious reasoning attempting to explain God. And, Satan represents an adversarial state of thought. What might the whirlwind, Behemoth, Leviathan, Job's repentance, and his eventual restoration represent spiritually? Listen to find out! Could the central conflict of Job ultimately be the struggle between our own reasoning and divine understanding? Throughout this conversation, we compare these questions with Jewish and Christian interpretations while also examining fascinating parallels, and important differences with other religious traditions. We consider Ayyub (Job) in Islam, Hindu teachings concerning karma and dharma, the Buddhist understanding of suffering and attachment, and Sikh teachings concerning Divine Will, humility, endurance, and ego. Together, we explore Job's losses, his lament, the arguments of Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar, Elihu's intervention, God's extraordinary response from the whirlwind, and Job's eventual transformation and restoration. Whether you think Job is historical, wisdom literature, spiritual symbolism, or some combination of these perspectives, in this episode we ask you to reconsider what the Word of God may actually be teaching us about suffering. Perhaps the question is not simply, "Why is this happening to me?” Perhaps Job ultimately challenges us to ask: Is the Book of Job explaining why bad things happen to good people, or is it revealing what happens within us when we encounter a wisdom greater than our own?

    Reading the Book of Esther Carnally vs Spiritually Ep 35

    In this episode, we continue our journey through the King James Bible by exploring the Book of Esther through two very different lenses: the traditional interpretation found in Judaism and modern Christianity, and the symbolic, spiritual framework taught in New Jerusalem by Tyler Doka. The Book of Esther tells the story of a Jewish woman who becomes queen of Persia and risks her life to save her people from destruction. Traditionally, the story is understood as a powerful account of courage, providence, identity, justice, and deliverance. In Judaism, Esther is known as the Megillah, one of the Five Scrolls in the Ketuvim, and it is central to the celebration of Purim. In Christianity, the book is often seen as an example of God working behind the scenes, even though His name is never explicitly mentioned. But what if the Book of Esther was describing an inner spiritual struggle? What if Esther represents hidden truth coming into the open? What if Mordecai symbolizes discernment and faithfulness, while Haman represents pride, ego, deception, or the carnal mind? What if the reversal of Haman’s plot reveals a deeper principle in which falsehood ultimately destroys itself? And what if the hiddenness of God in Esther points to a spiritual reality that is present even when it cannot be seen outwardly? Throughout this discussion, we compare how Judaism, Christianity, and Tyler Doka’s broader teachings approach the major people, events, and themes in Esther. We also explore thematic parallels with Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, including courage, righteous action, resisting oppression, humility, ego, justice, providence, and the consequences of harmful intentions. Together, we examine Vashti’s removal, Esther’s rise to queenship, Mordecai’s loyalty, Haman’s plot, Esther’s courageous decision to approach the king, the dramatic reversal of Haman’s plan, the deliverance of the Jewish people, and the establishment of Purim. Whether you read Esther as history or symbolically, this episode invites you to consider a deeper question: Is Esther only the story of a queen who saved her people, or does it also reveal what happens within us when truth must overcome fear, pride, and deception?
