In this Plot Twist episode, we bring you an extraordinary story from Reverend Michael Beckwith, founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center. With a congregation of over 9,000 people each week, Reverend Beckwith is a prominent thought leader featured in the film and book, "The Secret," and has been a guest on Oprah several times. He's also the author of several spiritual books and hosts the popular podcast, Take Back Your Mind.
But Reverend Beckwith’s journey to becoming a spiritual leader wasn’t straightforward. He started as an atheist and had a stint as a pharmaceutical distributor. In this episode, we delve into the pivotal moment that changed his life forever.
Reverend Beckwith recounts the time he was arrested for selling marijuana and how this life-altering experience redirected him toward his true path. Despite the dire situation, he remained calm and centered, guided by an inner voice that assured him he would walk free. He shares how the illegal actions of the police led to his release and how this miraculous turn of events deepened his faith and commitment to a spiritual life.
You’ll hear about his transformation from a life of dealing drugs to becoming a respected spiritual teacher. Reverend Beckwith’s story is filled with remarkable incidents, like his vision of Agape while in Mexico and the profound moment when he fully surrendered to his spiritual calling.
Join us as Reverend Beckwith opens up about the challenges, miracles, and divine interventions that shaped his journey. This episode is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and following one’s true calling.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
