New Age Christianity

The intention of this episode is the help you regain your sense of identity in its PUREST form. Your true 'I AM-ness' is not found in your mind. Your true 'self' is something higher than your mind, and while you engage with it every day, it is VERY easy to overlook. 

In all honesty, the content of this episode is extremely difficult to convey in words, and in a lot of ways, it may not be possible to convey from one person to a...

Kat and I are back from our Ayahuasca retreat and we are here to share our experiences. 

We will be doing individual episodes on each of our 2 sessions (4 episodes in total) over the next month, but we wanted to share our overall impressions of the experience right out of the gate. In short... we both LOVED IT! We both experienced the process very differently, but it was exactly what we needed, and we're excited to share what ...

In this episode, Kat Wilden and I discuss our upcoming weekend of Ayahuasca ceremonies (two of them, to be exact) in an attempt to have some version of a 'before' and 'after' snapshot of our thoughts on the journey. (We will be recording another episode AFTER the ceremonies.)

For those who don't know what Ayahuasca is, we cover that pretty early in the podcast. For those who DO know what it is, hopefully, you'll find this episode u...

As the final wrapup of this accidental 5-part series with Ronnie Herrema, we do our best to 'land the plane' with a little bit of encouragement for those who find themselves looking for freedom from religion and fear. In our experience, there are 3 major phases to the process of finding freedom:

1. Questioning
2. Rebelling
3. Resting

The NAC community is filled with people in different phases of this process, and many people ...

After 3 episodes (Episodes 82-84) of deconstructing so many of the ideas that we all grow up with, Ronnie wanted to take some time to share a bit of encouragement with the NAC community. As seems to be the new standard for the NAC podcast (not on purpose... it just keeps happening), this interview went pretty long and has been split into 2 episodes. 

I personally loved having this chat with Ronnie after the first 3 episodes. W...

As the final discussion of this 3-part interview with Ronnie, I ask him the same question I ask anyone who endeavors to articulate their beliefs through thoughtful discussion... "How's that working for you?"

In my experience with beliefs, religious or otherwise, it all comes down to the energetic reality of whether or not the things you are engaging with are ACTUALLY working for you. Is your life full of abundance? Are you happy? D...

Have you ever heard of the new 'religious' classification that's been showing up in studies called the 'Nones'? In short, Nones are people who no longer identify with ANY religious background. 

You probably know exactly what I'm talking about... Those intake forms that ask you what your religious affiliation is, and the ever-increasing desire to simply mark 'none' because none of the options presented to you are representative...

The episode is reminiscent of an earlier episode (Episode 23) I recorded with Christopher Teasdale about giving yourself 'permission' to change your beliefs, and as a fair warning, I must say... Listen to the next 3 episodes at your own risk! 

Ronnie Herrema is a great friend of mine, and as always, he is loaded with insights and challenging observations in this interview. He has a way of putting to words the same things that ...

As I look back over the last year and a half, it seems like a large number of the podcast episodes we produce at NAC are centered around this challenge of creating the life you want while understanding that there is a higher consciousness (a.k.a. God) that might now just a tincy-wincy bit more than you do about the best way to go about things. In many ways, as a New Age Christian, you may find that your ENTIRE quest of 'spiritual' ...

I don’t hide the fact that I’m a ‘libertarian’ when it comes to political issues. I don’t hide the fact that I still identify as ‘Christian’ as my primary religious identification. If you meet me in person or watch these podcast episodes on YouTube, it’s easy to see that I’m white and male. While we’re at it…

• I’m a Scorpio
• I’m an American
• I have a 4-year college degree
• I’ve been divorced
• and I can be identified by abou...

Over the course of 13 weeks, I shared many stories, insights, perspectives, and examples of how I’ve learned to work with The Secret. Many of these ideas are universal in their application because they are based on principles. However, many of them are subjective to my own experience and personality.

Thankfully… I have friends…

Saying No To GodAlthough bumper stickers abound that propose otherwise, the Bible itself reveals that just because “God says it,” does not, in fact, mean “that settles it.” On the contrary, a close reading of Scripture reveals that God does not want us to blindly obey him, but rather, invites us to “lock hands” with him and fight. The purpose of this book is to show another way to understand the Bible, one in which read...

As a wrap-up to our series on Unpacking The Secret, I wanted to fill in some of the gaps that these episodes may not have covered to this point.

When you combine the fact that your life is a perfect reflection of your beliefs with the fact that the Law of Attraction is always working, you’re left with one not-so-obvious dilemma… The ONLY way to change your life is to change your beliefs.

This reality is why I started Belief IQ. Onc...

Assuming you’ve been listening throughout the last 11 episodes of this series, you already know that the universe can only CREATE. It can certainly create destruction, but it can’t create a ‘not’. Telling the universe to create a ‘not’ is like me telling you to not think about a pink elephant. The mere fact that I’ve mentioned a pink elephant dictates that the overall energy of that command is ALL ABOUT a pink elephant. Regardless ...

Off the top of your head… Can you guess what the most successful drug of ALL TIME has been?

I’ll give you a hint… It’s fake.

Well… It’s not actually fake in of itself. It’s just fake as a ‘drug’.

If you guessed, Placebo, congratulations! … You already know what this episode is all about now.

The relationship between the Law of Attraction and Health is perhaps the most readily accepted application of The Secret that you’ll find, but...

One of the hardest truths to wrap your head around about the Law of Attraction is that YOU have attracted EVERYTHING into your life. While people love taking credit for the good things in their life, it becomes a much larger pill to swallow when you begin to realize that you’ve also attracted the bad things.

In my experience, the most difficult thing to accept about the principles surrounding this entire discussion is that you have...
