This week’s episode takes a deep dive into the nature of creation, good and evil, and the enduring mysteries woven into ancient texts.
We begin with selections from Paradise Lost, offering a powerful reimagining of the Fall of Man and the rebellion of the angels. From there, we turn to Genesis 5–7, tracing the lineage from Adam to Noah, the corruption that led to the flood, and the enigmatic presence of the “sons of God” and the giants. These narratives invite questions about divine intervention, free will, and the patterns of destruction and renewal seen throughout human history.
But the exploration doesn’t stop there. By drawing connections to works like Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages and the Book of Noah, we consider whether myths like Atlantis and other flood accounts are fragments of a larger, hidden truth about our origins. What do these ancient stories reveal about the nature of divine and demonic forces? How much of human history has been shaped by deception?
At its core, Take Me to Church is a space for curiosity—where belief isn’t dictated but questioned, explored, and expanded across traditions. If you’re ready to challenge assumptions and uncover deeper meanings, join me this Sunday for a conversation that defies expectations.
Lots of Love <3
