Is God the same yesterday, today, and forever… even in the face of scripture that seems to suggest otherwise?
In this episode of The Soul Unleashed Podcast, I dive headfirst into one of the oldest and most unsettling spiritual questions: Has God changed, or have we simply evolved in how we understand the Divine? I wrestle with the contrast between the vengeful, sword-swinging God of the Old Testament and the loving, grace-filled Jesus of the New one.
I read verses that frankly haunt me, explore what early church fathers said about God's nature, and admit where I still stumble, even after years of searching. This episode isn't a theology class or a sermon. It’s me, asking the questions I know so many of us carry quietly.
If you’ve ever wondered how to reconcile justice and mercy, wrath and compassion, or scripture with your own evolving sense of truth, you’ll feel right at home in this conversation.
Want more than a podcast episode?
My book, The Soul Unleashed: A Left-Brained Skeptic’s Journey into Signs, Spirit, and the Afterlife, is now available on Amazon!
It’s part memoir, part map, and part permission slip to explore what your soul already suspects.
???? Questions to Ponder:
- Have we outgrown the image of God we inherited… or have we misunderstood it from the beginning?
- Can we hold the Bible as sacred while also questioning parts of it that feel morally difficult?
- What does it mean if God never changed, but we did?
- Can justice and mercy truly coexist in a meaningful spiritual framework?
My podcasts target left-brained types like me, whose rigid view of life restricts us from considering things outside the tightly organized spiritual paradigm we either grew up with or built for ourselves.
Follow my podcasts to discuss serious topics like grief, human suffering, prayer, religion, and spiritual practices. I also cover things that I used to consider craziness or "woo-woo" such as: meditation, manifestation, spiritualism, spiritual awakening, reincarnation, past-life regression, the channeling of spirits and aliens (seriously...), soul groups, astrology, and even Chinese fortune cookies!

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.
