In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, philosopher Jerry L. Martin is joined by Abigail L. Rosenthal for an intimate conversation about divine encounters, spiritual awakening, and what it means to experience a radically personal God.
Drawing from Jerry’s new book Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the discussion explores how spiritual truth is not one-size-fits-all and why each individual’s connection to the divine can look entirely unique.
Jerry reflects on being called to tell God’s story across different cultures and religious traditions, while Abigail shares a powerful mystical experience that sustained her through a long and painful chapter in her life.
Together, they discuss Jewish philosophy, personal spirituality, the rejection of Original Sin, and how trusting one’s inner spiritual compass can lead to deep transformation.
This episode speaks directly to seekers, skeptics, and anyone exploring their own spiritual path. It is a thoughtful and emotional journey into faith and doubt, divine presence, mystical experience, and the call to live with spiritual purpose.

In this episode of From God To Jerry To You, we explore the moment that changed everything: when Jerry heard God's voice for the first time. What began as a private prayer became a divine calling—“Tell My Story.”
But what does that mean in a world of many religions, traditions, and truths?
Jerry shares how God's message was not confined to one faith or one people, but revealed in different ways across history and cultures.
From ancient Israel to India, from sacred texts to personal moments of clarity, divine Reality calls to each of us uniquely.
Can we hear that call in our own lives? What does it mean to be part of God's story today?
This episode invites you to reflect on your own path and how to recognize your most intimate access to the divine.

Romantic Awakening, Divine Listening, and the Inner Self
What does it mean to fall in love, not just with a person, but with the mystery of life itself?
In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of What's On Our Mind, Jerry and Scott reflect on the deep emotional and spiritual themes raised in recent episodes and discuss two new series: Jerry and Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, and What's Your Spiritual Story?
From romantic love and divine connection to shadow work and self-integration, they explore how transformation often begins with listening—really listening—to our hearts, our partners, and the quiet whisper of God.
Scott shares personal growth from theater, marriage, and divine interruptions. Jerry opens up about his "real conversion" which was not to religion, but to love itself.
Together, they trace the difference between merging and mutuality, between fantasy and devotion, and between reaction and responsibility.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked: Can I really be known, and loved, as a whole person?

Welcome to What’s Your Spiritual Story: a new series from God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, featuring candid conversations with people whose spiritual lives have been reshaped by direct encounters with the divine.
In this first installment, Jerry L. Martin speaks with pastor and podcaster Mark Groleau, who returns to the show exactly 100 episodes after his original appearance.
Mark’s story is one of radical transformation. Raised in a strict Oneness Pentecostal tradition, he was trained to preach, taught to defend doctrine, and discouraged from asking questions. But once he began studying literature and scripture through a critical lens, everything changed. What followed was a deconstruction of his inherited faith, a period of atheism, and an eventual reawakening through a more expansive vision of God.
This episode follows Mark’s evolving relationship with the divine, from the static, all-powerful deity of classical theism to a God who suffers, listens, and grows. Influenced by thinkers like John Caputo, Jacques Derrida, Greg Boyd, and Terence Fretheim, Mark now embraces process theology, which sees God not as removed from the world but as intimately involved in its unfolding.
Jerry and Mark reflect on what it means to believe in a God who changes. They discuss suffering, divine vulnerability, and the tension between doctrine and experience. Mark also shares why Jesus’ teachings have become central to his life, and why many Christians, ironically, ignore them.
From Hebrew grammar to the Big Bang, from seminary classrooms to Buddhist temples in Korea, this is a conversation for anyone rethinking their faith and seeking something more relational, honest, and alive.
If you’ve ever wrestled with the question of who, or what, God really is, this conversation offers a starting point for something deeper.

Welcome to the debut of a new series: Jerry and Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, a conversation between two philosophers who are also deeply in love.
This is not just a love story. It is an exploration of what love means at the level of reality itself.
In this episode, Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal and Dr. Jerry L. Martin ask a question deeply human and spiritually profound:
What is love and what does it reveal about the nature of the world we live in?
Through personal recollection, philosophical reflection, and cultural insight, they explore:
The stroke of lightning: Romantic love as a break in the surface of realityWhy biblical love stories begin the work of GodRachel as the sine qua non of sacred historyLove as an ontological force more than emotion, embedded in beingSpiritual meaning beyond religion, through feeling, intuition, and integrityCultural contrasts: European vs. American views on love, purpose, and compatibilityThe role of gratitude, authenticity, and moral seriousness in real connectionWhat it means to live in a disenchanted world and how love re-enchants it"Love is not a delusion. It is what moves the sun and the other stars.” – Abigail L. Rosenthal
Jerry and Abigail remind us that truth is not always found in the dominant worldview. Often, it comes from moments that break through: a glance, a conversation, a shared fight for something that matters.
This intimate dialogue speaks to those who live at the edge of conventional categories, those who are spiritual but not religious, seekers of meaning, lovers of wisdom.
If you’ve ever felt there must be more to love than psychology, more to life than surface logic, this is your episode.
Begin here. With feeling. With thought. With two philosophers, in love.

In the newest What's On Your Mind, host Scott Langdon sits down with Dr. Jerry L. Martin for a deep and heartfelt conversation about divine growth, spiritual tension, and the unfolding mystery of God's nature.
As they revisit God's revelation to the ancient prophet Zoroaster, the discussion opens with Jerry’s experience of spiritual anxiety, and how his body reacted to the unknown before divine communication began. This leads into a powerful exploration of how God Himself describes being not all-powerful, not all-knowing, and not all-good; at least not in the absolute sense. Instead, God is growing, evolving, and seeking fullness through relationship, through the world, and through us.
Through Zoroaster’s divine encounter, God comes to see His “other side.” A concept that challenges traditional theology but resonates deeply with those who see spirituality as a journey, not a fixed set of beliefs. Scott and Jerry explore themes like duality, good and evil, panentheism, and the reality of imperfection in divine creation.
Drawing from metaphors in music, embodiment, and human love, the conversation touches on Beethoven, spiritual embodiment, and how meaning is co-created through lived experience. This episode will speak to anyone curious about the divine, questioning inherited beliefs, or wondering if God can grow with us.
📖 If you’ve ever wondered whether God is still becoming, or how direct experience with the divine might feel, this episode offers deep reflection for spiritual seekers on the path.

In this heartfelt episode of What's On Your Mind, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon explore a deeply personal spiritual journey shared through three emails from a listener named Roxana.
Spanning over a year and a half, Roxana’s correspondence reveals an inspiring evolution from doubt and disconnection to curiosity, courage, and a desire for oneness with the Divine.
Through Roxana’s words, listeners will resonate with the emotional honesty of someone searching for truth in the wake of personal suffering, disillusionment with religion, and the isolating static of anxiety. Her initial doubts and questions, sparked by pain, secular influences, and spiritual exhaustion, give way to hopeful inquiry, theological exploration, and a longing to reconnect with God.
Jerry and Scott reflect on Roxana’s unfolding story with compassion and philosophical insight, discussing themes like panentheism, the nature of divine communication, the role of suffering in spiritual growth, and the difference between religious doctrine and lived spiritual experience. They unpack how spiritual progress often begins not in certainty, but in openness- the kind that Roxana beautifully models through her vulnerability and persistence.
This episode offers encouragement to those feeling spiritually adrift, reminding us that we may already be home, we just need to remember.
Whether you’re religious, spiritual but not religious (SBNR), or spiritually curious, Roxana’s journey invites us all to look inward and listen deeply.

In this special episode of The Life Wisdom Project Jerry L. Martin is joined by acclaimed horror author, essayist, and religious thinker Matt Cardin for a profound exploration of divine duality, Zoroastrian cosmology, and the moral landscape of good and evil.
Together, they dive into God’s revelations to the prophet Zoroaster as recounted in God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher, unpacking a worldview where life is not a passive unfolding — but an active battlefield between light and darkness, truth and illusion. Through the lens of Zoroastrianism and Manichaean thought, the conversation traces how spiritual maturity demands we choose a side — not in tribal allegiance, but in moral clarity and existential responsibility.
Matt Cardin brings his unique background at the crossroads of religion, metaphysical horror, and philosophical inquiry to the fore. The episode confronts some of the most challenging spiritual insights from the book, including:
“Most spiritually attuned people are not truth seekers.”“To look evil in the face is a spiritual act.”“My aspects have a life of their own and go wayward.”These statements form the foundation for a dialogue about spiritual integration, shadow work, divine self-awareness, and the lived tension between peace and calamity — as illustrated in both Zoroaster’s vision and Isaiah 45, where God declares, “I form the light and create darkness.”
The episode also explores how horror writing, when used with spiritual intent, can serve as a radical form of not turning away — of confronting the hidden, the repressed, the divine and monstrous within. Cardin’s reflections on Jung, Freud, and the archetypal struggle for integration are especially resonant for seekers navigating complexity in both self and cosmos.
Whether you're drawn to Zoroastrian theology, psychological integration, or the spiritual function of horror literature, this conversation invites you to experience divine reality with open eyes — and a willingness to face the truth, however unsettling it may be.

What if God had another side?
In this special revisit of Episode 26, Zoroaster Sees God’s Other Side, we explore one of the most profound moments in God: An Autobiography- a divine encounter that reshaped both Zoroaster’s understanding of the cosmos and God's own self-awareness.
Zoroaster, the ancient Persian prophet, perceived not just divine light, but divine struggle. In this remarkable dialogue, God shares how this revelation was a growth experience for Him, as He unveiled His dual nature to one of His earliest great prophets.
God candidly addresses the existence of evil, not only in the world, but within Himself. Through Zoroaster’s story, the problem of evil becomes a spiritual revelation: God is not a static perfection, but a being evolving toward wholeness. The universe is shown to be a shared spiritual journey, where even chaos plays a role in the unfolding of sacred order.
🎧 Listen as Jerry and the Voice of God reflect on divine complexity, the ethical weight of truth, and the radical spirituality of Zoroaster’s insight.

Jerry shares his fascinating revelations during prayer concerning the prophet Zoroaster’s profound encounter with the divine.
Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest known monotheistic religions, but few know its rich history—largely preserved through oral tradition—that allows us to understand what God was communicating to Zoroaster through the cosmic battle between good and evil.
In this powerful narrative, we’re introduced to the figure of Ahura Mazda—the embodiment of wisdom and goodness—and His counterpart, the Hostile Spirit, often perceived as God's “evil twin.” This story dives into the eternal struggle between light and darkness, a central theme in Zoroastrian belief and one still deeply relevant to the modern spiritual seeker.
Join us as we explore these ancient revelations and how they continue to echo in our understanding of the divine, the nature of evil, and the choices our souls are called to make.

Have you ever wondered what it really means to call out to God- and what it feels like when something answers?
In this moving episode of What’s On Your Mind, we explore Janet's spiritual awakening, which began with a simple desire to know who Jesus really was and unfolded into moments of inner instruction, prophetic clarity, and self-discovery. She offers five profound lessons about spiritual discernment, obedience, and the subtleties of hearing God's voice-insights that speak directly to anyone walking a nontraditional spiritual path.
Sandy responds to Janet with a deeply personal story of her own- a quiet moment of prayer where she asked God to show up... and was met with a radiant, inner warmth that felt like a hug from the divine.
Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon reflect on these stories with care, honesty, and philosophical depth. Together, they explore how we can distinguish divine inspiration from ego or illusion, and how “calling out to God” is not just a religious act- but a deeply human one.
Whether you’ve had mystical experiences, questioned your sanity in moments of spiritual insight, or are simply curious about how the divine shows up in real life, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate conversation for seekers of all kinds.
We talk about:
Hearing inner guidance and not knowing if it’s “real”The delicate line between divine insight and wishful thinkingWhy calling out is essential to divine relationshipHow discernment and self-trust evolve over timeThe difference between ego-driven action and God-led intuitionLove as God’s truest nameIf you're exploring faith in a way that doesn’t fit into traditional boxes, this conversation is for you. It’s not about having the right answers- it’s about staying open.

What happens when a philosophy professor, known for teaching logic and critical thinking, has an undeniable encounter with God? Dr. Jerry L. Martin was a lifelong agnostic until one day, to his great surprise, God spoke to him. As a philosopher, he had no choice but to investigate.
In this episode of From God to Jerry to You, Jerry takes a deep dive into one of the most pivotal moments in spiritual history: Moses and the burning bush. He unpacks not just what happened, but what it means for all of us.
Why did God choose a burning bush? What was significant about Moses’ response? And what can we learn from this moment about how the divine reaches out to us today?
With his signature curiosity and philosophical rigor, Jerry distills 9 key lessons from Moses’ encounter- lessons that challenge us to pay attention, trust, and respond when something greater calls. Jerry also reflects on how his own encounter with God mirrored aspects of Moses’ story, from the shock of the experience to the life-altering consequences of obedience and saying "yes" to the divine.
This isn’t just a story from ancient scripture- it’s a blueprint for how spiritual awakenings unfold and an invitation to examine your own encounters with the unseen.

Does God test us? What does obedience to God really mean?
In this episode of What's On Our Mind, Scott Langdon and Dr. Jerry L. Martin dive deep into the complex and often misunderstood concepts of obedience, trust, and free will in our relationship with God.
Exploring the story of Abraham and Isaac, they discuss whether obedience is simply following commands or if it is something much deeper- a spiritual transformation that brings us into alignment with God’s will. Is faith about blind submission, or is it a partnership with the Divine?
Through thought-provoking analogies of music, dance, and orchestration, Scott and Jerry reveal how obedience isn’t about rigid control but about harmonizing with God’s presence in our lives. They also uncover God’s ultimate desire- not to demand unquestioning obedience, but to lead us toward fulfillment, awakening, and divine partnership.
Join us as we break down misconceptions about faith, question whether God truly “tests” us, and discuss how to discern God’s voice in our lives. If you've ever struggled with trusting God's plan or wondered what it means to truly walk in faith, this episode is for you.
