GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jerry L. Martin
God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast is the true story of a philosopher’s conversations with God. Dr. Jerry L. Martin was a lifelong agnostic. But one day he had occasion to pray. To his vast surprise, God answered - in words. Being a philosopher, he had a lot of questions. And God had a lot to tell him. Dr. Martin served as head of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the University of Colorado philosophy department. Find out more at www.GodAnAutobiography.com

Why does God seem hidden if God wants to be known?
In the ninth and final episode of Radically Personal, philosopher Jerry L. Martin concludes his exploration of what it means for God to know each person individually and invite us into a relationship that can transform how we understand ourselves, our lives, and the world.
Jerry examines the many ways God may communicate—not only through prayer, but through dreams, intuition, conscience, beauty, love, mystical experience, and quiet promptings that can feel like our own thoughts. He asks what kind of response God seeks and considers what it means to live in alignment with the divine rather than simply follow commands.
The episode then turns to the meaning of human life. Each life may be a unique test, exploration, and sacred improvisation in which our choices, failures, suffering, love, and growth genuinely matter. God is not presented as a distant observer, but as a partner who shares in every individual triumph and setback.
The series ends with its most extraordinary idea: our transformation may be God’s very reason for being.

What makes romantic love feel more powerful than reason, safer choices, or even self-preservation? And what does it mean to experience God’s love through the person who loves you?
In this intimate dialogue, Jerry and Abigail return to God’s striking instruction: “Let Abigail love you. You will feel My love through her.” Jerry reflects on why God’s love might need to become tangible through another person, while Abigail considers what it means to embody that love through presence, touch, sacrifice, and a shared life.
Abigail reflects on falling in love as an overwhelming force that resisted every attempt to explain or contain it. Not psychology. Not philosophy. Not even Husserl’s phenomenology could give her enough distance from the pull of erotic and romantic love.
Their conversation moves through desire, sacrifice, feminism, sexuality, and the difference between casual sex and a love that asks something deeper of us. Abigail recalls leaving behind an ideal life in New York, not in search of comfort or happiness, but because love itself carried an authority she could not ignore.
From the Garden of Eden to Dante, Jane Austen, the Brontës, D. H. Lawrence, Hemingway, and Dickens, Jerry and Abigail ask what modern culture may have lost when sex became detached from romance, courtship, nobility, and risk.
Can erotic love still awaken courage, devotion, and sacrifice? And can the love between two people reveal something of God that cannot be felt any other way?

What does it mean to feel God’s love through another person?
In this episode of From God to Jerry to You, Jerry L. Martin reflects on an early moment in his relationship with God, when he was asked to “enter My heart.”
The request frightened him, and when he asked for help, God answered: “Let Abigail love you. Feel My love through her.”
That experience leads Jerry to explore how divine love becomes real through romantic love, family love, friendship, intimacy, tenderness, and human connection. Jerry considers the transcendent quality of love, the presence of God within our closest relationships, and the possibility that loving others is one of the deepest ways we become partners with God.
Listen for a thoughtful reflection on God’s love, spiritual intimacy, and the sacred power of loving and being loved.

Is God a person, and what does it mean to experience God through relationships, grief, and everyday life?
In this episode of What's On Our Mind, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon explore the personal and interpersonal nature of God and consider how divine presence may appear through the people who love, guide, challenge, and remember us.
Scott reflects on the death of his close friend Vince and shares how he encountered God not by escaping grief, but by remaining present to love, memory, work, and the life directly in front of him.
Together, Jerry and Scott discuss finding God during suffering, recognizing meaning in difficult experiences, and learning to “play the scene you are in” rather than becoming trapped in what should have happened.
This moving conversation explores grief and spirituality, living in the present moment, personal calling, and the ways ordinary encounters can become expressions of divine love.
What changes when we begin treating every person not as a role or function, but as a person whose story is also being shaped by God?

What shapes a person's spiritual story? Can childhood experiences, faith, and the practice of preaching become the foundation for a lifetime of spiritual transformation?
In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, philosopher Jerry L. Martin welcomes theologian and Episcopal priest John Thatamanil for a deeply personal conversation about the experiences that shaped his faith and vocation. From his childhood in India's ancient Mar Thoma Christian tradition to immigrating to the United States, John reflects on the moments that led him toward theology, ordination, and a life devoted to preaching.
Together, Jerry and John explore the surprising ways our earliest experiences influence our understanding of God. Their conversation moves through prayer, trauma, memory, spiritual formation, religious experience, and the search for truth, revealing how a life of faith is formed not only by belief, but by the people, traditions, and encounters that transform us over time.
Drawing from Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, John shares how multiple religious traditions have deepened rather than diminished his understanding of the divine. Along the way, he discusses nonduality, contemplative practice, and the role of preaching as a path of both personal and communal transformation.
Whether you are exploring your own spiritual journey, interested in comparative theology, or simply asking deeper questions about faith, this conversation offers a thoughtful and deeply human reflection on what it means to seek God across a lifetime.

What if the goal of spiritual life is not to merge with God?
What if sin is not a debt to be paid, but a condition to be healed? And what if suffering is not an accident of existence, but part of what makes love, freedom, and relationship possible?
In this episode of Radically Personal, Jerry Martin explores some of the most surprising insights from his dialogues with God. He reflects on what it means for God to be a person, why every individual may have a unique path to the divine, and why spiritual growth is less about escaping the world than learning to live in harmony with it.
Along the way, Jerry examines the nature of prayer, the meaning of personal relationship with God, the role of friction and struggle in human development, and a radically different understanding of sin, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation.
Perhaps most importantly, he considers what it means to get on "the right track"—the path God has in mind for each of us—and why that path may already be closer than we think.

How do we know when something is merely a coincidence—and when it may be something more?
In this episode of Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, Jerry Martin and Abigail Rosenthal explore spiritual discernment, divine guidance, and the challenge of recognizing meaning in ordinary life. From Sherlock Holmes and the art of observation to unexpected events that seemed to reveal a deeper pattern, they ask how we distinguish chance from providence and whether God may be present in experiences we are tempted to overlook.
The conversation includes two remarkable personal stories from Abigail's life: one involving an unexpected turn of events that transformed her academic career, and another involving what she describes as the clearest experience of divine communication she has ever received.
How do we test spiritual experiences? What does it mean to hear God's voice? And how can we remain open to the possibility that our lives may be part of a larger story?

What if God is speaking, but not in the way you expected?
In this episode, Jerry L. Martin reflects on how God may guide us through everyday life, through prayer, intuition, conscience, spiritual experience, and through other people.
When Jerry first heard God ask him to “tell My story,” he was surprised by the idea that God could have a story at all. But as he was led through the sacred texts of the world’s religions, he began to see divine reality as active, personal, many-sided, and deeply involved in human life.
God’s story is not only found in ancient scriptures or world religions. It continues in the lives of ordinary people.
Jerry explores how to recognize divine guidance, how to listen for God’s presence, and why spiritual discernment begins with paying attention.
Sometimes God may speak through a friend’s advice, a repeated message, a task that falls into your path, a feeling in the body, or a moment of unexpected help.
For anyone who has ever felt abandoned by God, spiritually alone, or unsure how to hear God’s voice, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you may not be alone. God may already be present through the people, signs, and quiet invitations around you.
This From God to Jerry to You reflection explores divine signs, spiritual calling, religious experience, suffering, gratitude, and how God speaks through other people.

What is the spiritual meaning of suffering, and why is suffering such a real part of human life?
In this What’s On Our Mind conversation, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon explore suffering, grief, compassion, spiritual growth, and the ways reality discloses itself personally to each of us.
Drawing from God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the New Axial Age, this episode reflects on suffering not as a meaningless accident, but as part of the real terrain of life. Jerry and Scott discuss why pain can become information, why grief can reveal love and meaning, and how different spiritual traditions can help us respond to suffering with humility, discernment, and compassion.
The conversation also considers God’s presence in human suffering, the role of personal spiritual experience, and the question of how each person is called to respond to reality as it unfolds.
For anyone seeking meaning in grief, pain, loss, or spiritual struggle, this episode offers a thoughtful reflection on suffering, healing, and the search for divine presence in a real and difficult world.

In this deeply personal installment of What’s Your Spiritual Story, Jerry L. Martin speaks with Dr. Stephen Spector, professor of English, scholar of religion and literature, and author, for a profound conversation about spiritual experience, suffering, miracles, the Bible, and the changing nature of God.
Spector recounts the moment that transformed his life forever. At fifteen years old, after his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given only weeks to live, he made a bargain with God. What followed would shape his spiritual life, his understanding of faith, and his lifelong relationship with scripture.
Drawing from his background in medieval literature, biblical interpretation, psychology, and Jewish thought, Dr. Spector explores the Bible not only as sacred text, but as a living literary and psychological journey. Together, he and Jerry discuss Genesis, trauma, forgiveness, Jewish identity, evangelical support for Israel, Jewish-Christian dialogue, Ethiopian Jews, Isaac’s suffering, the problem of evil, and the surprising idea that God may grow and change through relationship with humanity.
This episode is thoughtful, intellectually rich, emotionally honest, and deeply human — ideal for listeners interested in spirituality, theology, religion, philosophy, biblical interpretation, spiritual transformation, and the search for meaning.
What does it mean to wrestle with God? Can suffering transform us? And what happens when we begin reading scripture not as distant history, but as a living story about becoming human?

Jerry L. Martin explores the idea that humanity may be entering a New Axial Age: a new era of spiritual transformation shaped by globalization, interreligious encounter, and expanding spiritual consciousness.
Drawing from philosopher Karl Jaspers, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Robert Bellah, and Theology Without Walls, he reflects on whether the world’s religions represent competing systems of belief or different dimensions of divine revelation.
Beginning with the remarkable story of Saint Josaphat — a Christian saint whose story traces back to the Buddha — this episode explores “religion in the singular,” mystical experience, comparative religion, and the possibility that spiritual truth has always moved dynamically across cultures and traditions.
What happens when inherited religious boundaries begin to loosen? Could humanity be moving toward a more open and interconnected understanding of spiritual reality?

What happens when suffering enters a new season of life? How do we face aging, grief, limitation, and uncertainty without surrendering our sense of purpose?
In the latest Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, the married philosophers return for another stimulating dialogue exploring suffering, aging, calling, and the search for meaning.
Beginning with the Serenity Prayer and the Stoic distinction between what we can and cannot control, the conversation moves into deeper questions about suffering as a source of growth, the temptation to “give up” too early in life, and the challenge of remaining fully engaged with one’s purpose.
Abigail reflects on resisting cultural narratives of decline, particularly those imposed on women, while sharing her thoughts on aging, neuropathy, resilience, and refusing to “die before you’re dead.” Jerry connects these reflections to themes from God: An Autobiography, including the idea that “suffering is the law of growth in the universe.”
The discussion also explores antisemitism, historical responsibility, Aristotle’s vision of human flourishing, the story of David and Goliath, and the question of what it means to live in alignment with one’s deepest calling.
This is a rich and personal conversation about suffering, purpose, spiritual courage, and remaining fully alive on the timeline of human history.
Whether you are navigating grief, searching for meaning, or trying to discern what still has your name on it, Episode 284 offers a thoughtful and deeply human exploration of the courage required to keep living fully.

In Episode 283 of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Jerry L. Martin reflects on a striking idea given in prayer: “Suffering is the law of growth in the universe.” Through personal experience and philosophical insight, he explores what this means in everyday life in this From God to Jerry to You.
Drawing on Stoic Philosophy and the Serenity Prayer, this episode asks a central question: how do we know what to accept, and what we are called to change?
From aging and illness to habits and difficult decisions, discernment becomes essential. Not all suffering can be avoided—but it can be understood, and sometimes transformed.
The episode also turns to love. When life changes, when abilities fade, what does it mean to love someone for who they are, not what they do?
This is a reflection on suffering, growth, and the wisdom to live through both.

What does it mean to be spiritual but not religious, and can that way of life be taken seriously, both intellectually and spiritually?
In this episode, Hans le Grand shares his journey from physicist to theologian, and the question that shaped his work: what do religious seekers actually have in common?
Drawing on his book Life Seeking Understanding, Hans explores the idea of a “theology of religious seeking”—a way of thinking about spirituality that moves beyond traditional religious boundaries while still engaging the deepest questions of meaning, truth, and growth.
This conversation touches on liberal theology, Unitarian Universalism, and the challenge of constructing a spiritual framework in a world where millions identify as spiritual but not religious.
If you’ve ever felt caught between belief and exploration, this episode offers a thoughtful and compelling path forward.

What if the most important decisions in your life don’t feel like choices at all?
In this episode of Radically Personal, Jerry L. Martin explores calling not as something we choose, but something we recognize—something that can feel required—even when it is unclear or difficult.
Beginning with an epistemology of trust, he challenges the idea that knowledge starts with doubt. We rely on our experience from the start—but when it comes to calling, that raises a harder question: how do we know which inner promptings to trust?
Not every voice carries authority. And yet, the responsibility to discern cannot be handed off to anyone else.
Drawing on the idea of dharma in the Bhagavad Gita, the episode turns to a more specific question: what is being asked of you—here, now, in the life you are actually living?
At the center is a question that resists abstraction: what task has your name on it?
One way to approach this question is through three others: what are you being called to do, who or what is doing the calling, and who is the one being called?
Each answer carries its own kind of authority—and its own risk of misreading. The challenge is not only to listen, but to discern.

What if doing the “right thing” isn’t always right?
In this episode of Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, a deceptively simple question opens into one of the most difficult problems in moral philosophy: moral ambiguity.
Can we ever act with complete moral certainty, or is every meaningful choice marked by tension, compromise, and consequence?
Drawing from God: An Autobiography and real-world experience, Jerry lays out three common ways people try to escape this burden: rigid moral rules, the pursuit of moral purity, and the attempt to rise “beyond good and evil.”
Together, Jerry and Abigail examine why each approach ultimately fails, and what it means to live honestly within the complexity of real life.
Through powerful examples, from the story of Krishna and the Mahabharata to whistleblowers, personal relationships, and philosophical debates from Kant to Aristotle, this conversation moves beyond abstract ethics into lived decision-making.
When truth causes harm, when lies may protect, and when action always carries a cost, how do we choose? This episode challenges the idea that morality is about staying pure or being right. Instead, it asks whether the real task is something harder: learning to navigate ambiguity with discernment, responsibility, and courage.
If you’ve ever struggled with a decision that had no clear answer, listen to this conversation; it will stay with you!

What do you do when doing the right thing still carries a cost?
In this From God to Jerry to You episode, Jerry explores moral ambiguity through real situations where decisions cannot be separated from their consequences.
Opening with the reality of war and targeted killing, Jerry reflects on the removal of a dangerous leader and the question it raises: can an action be necessary and still carry moral weight?
Even when harm is prevented, lives are lost—including those not directly involved. Jerry turns to a central insight from his encounter with God: What is morally imperfect may still be morally required.
Drawing on the Bhagavad Gita, where duty, loyalty, and justice collide in a moment that demands action, Jerry considers whether the conflict can be avoided. The decision still has to be made.
He brings the discussion into everyday life—workplace decisions, institutional roles, and situations where telling the truth, protecting others, and doing what’s required do not align.
In ethics, this is often called the “dirty hands” problem: actions that may be justified yet carry a lasting moral cost. One point remains clear: decisions carry forward. Responsibility does not end once the choice is made.
This timely episode explores moral ambiguity, ethical decision-making, and the reality of living with the consequences of your actions. Listen and share your thoughts.

Scott Langdon and Dr. Jerry L. Martin explore what it means to trust your spiritual senses and practice discernment in everyday life. How do we recognize genuine spiritual guidance—and how do we test it?
Drawing on God: An Autobiography and Radically Personal, this conversation examines intuition, experience, and reflection in navigating calling, purpose, and trust. Jerry introduces an “epistemics of trust,” where experience becomes the starting point of knowledge—but must be carefully discerned.
Guidance may come through inner awareness, other people, or lived experience. Learning to quiet the mind, listen deeply, and evaluate what we receive is central to spiritual growth.

In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Jerry L. Martin speaks with philosopher and world religions scholar Jonathan Weidenbaum in the series “What’s Your Spiritual Story.”
Jonathan shares how his early fascination with Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, and Eastern philosophy led to a lifelong exploration of world religions. Through study, travel, and teaching, he immersed himself in diverse spiritual traditions across Asia while engaging deeply with thinkers like Martin Buber and Søren Kierkegaard.
Yet his path was not one of leaving Judaism behind—but of returning. Jonathan reflects on rediscovering Jewish practice through attending shul, putting on tefillin, and reconnecting with the rhythms and disciplines of religious life. His story highlights the tension between exploration and rootedness, and the way a tradition can call someone back over time.
The conversation explores spirituality, philosophy, prayer, and the challenge of understanding the divine—whether as a personal God or an ultimate reality. It also reflects on how religious identity can be reshaped in response to both personal searching and the pressures of the modern world.
Jonathan, Jerry, and others continue this conversation at Ultimate Questions, a public Substack from Theology Without Walls exploring life’s deepest questions across traditions. Join the discussion at substack.com/@ultimatequestions.

What if spiritual experiences are real — but deeply personal?
In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, philosopher Jerry L. Martin explores one of the most difficult questions in religion: how do we discern whether a spiritual experience is genuine?
Drawing on William James and the long philosophical tradition of spiritual discernment, Jerry examines why religious experience varies from person to person.
Different temperaments, histories, and cultures shape how individuals encounter ultimate reality. But if spiritual experiences differ so widely, how can they be evaluated?
Can one religion judge another? Is there a neutral standpoint from which competing belief systems can be assessed?
Jerry explores the philosophical challenge of spiritual discernment beyond the boundaries of any single tradition. Along the way he discusses thinkers such as Ignatius of Loyola, Jonathan Edwards, and William James.
The episode also introduces the idea of the “clarified soul,” the cultivated inner capacity that allows us to perceive spiritual truth with greater clarity and depth.
In a world of many religions and worldviews, the question remains: how do we responsibly seek what is ultimately true?

How do you know when an inner prompting is truly guidance — and when it is illusion?
In this intimate dialogue, Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal explore the challenge of spiritual discernment: learning to trust your spiritual senses without abandoning realism, reason, or common sense.
What does it mean to follow an inner call responsibly? How do you test intuition against experience, wisdom, and the counsel of others?
Drawing from lived experience — including Jerry’s hearing of the “God voice,” their shared leap into marriage, and Abigail’s reflections in A Good Look at Evil and Confessions of a Young Philosopher — they consider how faith and practical wisdom must work together.
Faith is not unrealism. It is not a shortcut. Nor is it blind emotion. Instead, it is a disciplined attentiveness to the deeper currents of your life, guided by both sincerity and discernment.
The conversation widens into a larger question: What story are you living? And what is your ideal story?
Abigail reflects on the idea that God is not a distant abstraction but a Player — with a capital P — in the unfolding drama of your life. To live spiritually is not to withdraw from reality but to engage it more fully, with courage, humility, and intellectual honesty.
If you have ever wondered how to distinguish true guidance from impulse, how to balance faith and reason, or how to bring your actual life closer to your ideal life, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded exploration of divine guidance, inner calling, and life as a story.

The newest From God to Jerry to You is a reflection on divine guidance, spiritual discernment, and the discovery of your calling. Jerry L. Martin shares prayer encounters from the podcast's early days and from more recent experiences.
These moments reveal what it means to trust your spiritual senses, and how to recognize when guidance may be coming from beyond yourself.
What does it mean to discern God’s voice? How do we know when an inner prompting is truly divine?
Drawing from Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, Jerry explores an “epistemics of trust”—a philosophical framework for understanding how we know what we know. Just as we trust perception, memory, and reason, we may also learn to trust spiritual intuition.
This radically personal center is not arbitrary. It is, Jerry suggests, the instrument of revelation.
The episode also traces the vision behind Theology Without Walls and the birth of the Ultimate Questions Substack—a public forum inviting reflection on life’s deepest questions.
At the heart of this conversation is a simple but profound question: What does a calling feel like?
If you’ve ever wondered how to discern divine guidance, respond to the inner voice, or understand where faith and philosophy meet, this episode offers both depth and clarity. Listen now—and consider where you might be called.

In Episode 272 of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Jerry Martin and Scott Langdon ask a deceptively simple question: What is experience?
Is it just a stream of sensations passing through us — or is it the unfolding of meaning across a lifetime? When we look back at our lives, do we merely remember events, or do we discover layers of significance we couldn’t see before?
Drawing from Scott’s recent What’s Your Spiritual Story episode and Jerry’s Radically Personal series, the conversation turns to the radical uniqueness of every human life. No one has ever been duplicated. Every consciousness is singular. What might it mean, then, to say: “You are the experience God is having”?
Through reflections on theater, personal memory, Jane Austen’s Emma, the play Proof, and the philosophical idea of “thisness” (haecceitas), Jerry and Scott explore whether awareness itself is the meeting point between the human and the divine.
Experience changes us. Meaning deepens. And perhaps consciousness is not merely personal — but participatory in something far greater.
As you listen, consider your own experience. Where has meaning deepened for you? And what might it reveal about the divine presence within your life?

In Episode 271 of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, host Scott Langdon shares his personal spiritual journey — from Lutheran liturgy and evangelical certainty to faith deconstruction, mental health challenges, and a renewed understanding of God as love.
Raised in the church and later immersed in evangelical Christianity, Scott’s faith was shaped by music, scripture, and sacred ritual. But a pivotal moment — being baptized again and feeling nothing — marked the beginning of a profound spiritual transformation. Through theater, bipolar diagnosis, marriage, loss, and deep questioning, Scott’s understanding of God shifted from external authority to lived experience.
What happens when you “give up God” and begin praying to love instead? Can faith survive doubt, silence, and reinvention?
God: An Autobiography, The Podcast explores spiritual experience through personal stories, philosophical reflection, and dramatic readings from the book God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher. Each episode invites listeners to consider their own spiritual story and the possibility that divine encounter is rooted in lived experience.
If you’ve wrestled with belief, deconstruction, or the meaning of love and faith — this episode is for you.

What do we mean when we speak of human experience?
In this fourth installment of the Radically Personal series, Jerry Martin takes up that question and follows it carefully. Modern philosophy and science often frame experience in terms of sensations, data, or brain activity. Yet the way we actually live and perceive suggests something more expansive.
Drawing on William James, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Hilary Putnam, Martin Buber, Edith Stein, and others, Jerry reflects on how we encounter the world in practice. He considers perception and embodiment, the depth present in persons and things, the pull of beauty and awe, and the way empathy makes another’s inner life accessible.
The discussion gradually turns toward love and value, tracing how worth emerges within experience itself. As the episode moves from perception to relationship to meaning, a picture comes into view: depth is not added from outside but belongs to experience as lived.
Join Jerry in taking experience seriously; it may open new ways of thinking about meaning, reality, and the possibility of the divine.

Can multiple religions be true at the same time? Married philosophers, Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal, explore one of the most challenging questions about God and ultimate reality.
They reflect on the idea that different cultures are given different spiritual tasks. The Hebrew focus on history and covenant stands alongside India’s inward contemplative traditions, showing that divine truth unfolds in different ways across civilizations.
Jerry explains that Theology Without Walls must take lived spiritual experience seriously. Personal transformation, moments of divine connection, and the individual spiritual journey are essential data for understanding spiritual reality.
Abigail recalls her intense yoga practice of suspended breath and reflects on what that path taught her. She also shares a vivid memory involving Thomas Altizer, the theologian associated with the “God is dead” movement and explores the difference between politeness and real engagement with ultimate questions.
We are living at the beginning of a New Axial Age, a time when the world’s religions now meet directly.
The conversation is candid, thoughtful, and deeply personal, like listening in on two married philosophers as they connect lifelong spiritual experience with some of the biggest questions of our time.

Can God speak through more than one religion?
In this episode of From God to Jerry to You, philosopher Jerry L. Martin explores a central insight from God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher: that divine wisdom may be working through many religious traditions across history, not just one.
Drawing from his recorded conversations with God, Jerry reflects on the idea that different religions may carry distinct spiritual assignments for different cultures and times. Rather than competing versions of truth, these paths may represent a spiritual “division of labor,” each revealing something essential about the divine.
This vision leads to what Jerry calls Theology Without Walls — an approach to faith that remains open to truth wherever it appears, including in other religions, philosophy, literature, science, and lived experience.
He also introduces the idea of a “New Axial Age,” a turning point in spiritual history in which seekers begin drawing wisdom from multiple traditions while deepening their personal relationship with God.
Whether you belong to a particular faith, identify as spiritual but not religious, or are simply curious about how divine guidance might move through different cultures, this episode offers an expansive and hopeful view of humanity’s shared spiritual journey.
Listen, reflect, and experience the world from God’s perspective — as it was told to a philosopher.

In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon reflect on what it means to live in partnership with God in a world where evil persists and meaning is still unfolding.
Drawing on biblical scholar John D. Levinson, they explore order and chaos, the idea of a developing God, and how discernment shows up in lived experience.
Referencing William James, the conversation turns to faith as embodied wisdom rather than rule-following, and to Jesus as an unfiltered expression of divine presence.
Through reflections on ego, power, tough love, and the teaching “knock and you will find,” the episode contrasts horizontal and vertical ways of seeing reality, suggesting that seeking itself may already place us within the Kingdom of God.

In this special edition of What’s Your Spiritual Story?, philosopher Abigail Rosenthal sits down with her husband, Jerry L. Martin, for the most extended and personal telling of her spiritual story to date.
Drawing on her memoir, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, Abigail traces the formation of her inner life from an Edenic childhood and early encounters with loss, to adolescent philosophical crisis, homesickness, and the search for a reality that could withstand time, absence, and illusion.
Along the way, she reflects on formative influences, including Thomas Mann’s Joseph novels, Homer’s Odyssey, Gandhi, existentialism, political idealism, and the dangers of moral absolutism and ideological guilt.
This conversation explores themes of time and impermanence, spiritual longing, innocence and disillusionment, femininity and intellectual life, and what it means to test ideas by living them.
Abigail recounts her experiences in Paris, London, and the American academy, examining how philosophy, spirituality, and personal history intersect—and sometimes collide—in a woman’s life.
Rather than offering tidy conclusions, this episode presents a lived spiritual journey: one shaped by curiosity, risk, error, and hard-won clarity. It is a story about becoming—not only a philosopher, but a person capable of resisting illusion while remaining open to meaning.

In this episode of Radically Personal, Jerry L. Martin turns to the work of American philosopher and psychologist William James to explore how divine reality is encountered in lived experience. Drawing from The Varieties of Religious Experience, Jerry reflects on James’s influence on the philosophy of religion and his claim that religion begins not with doctrines or institutions, but with personal experience—with what happens in the depths of a human life.
This conversation examines how experience functions as a window onto reality, why feelings and intuitions matter for discernment, and how religious and spiritual experience may reveal divine presence not as an object we perceive, but as a reality we participate in. Jerry explores prayer as relationship, the limits of abstract theory, and the importance of remaining open to fleeting, partial, and even unsystematic glimpses of meaning.
Radically Personal invites listeners into a seeker-centered approach to spirituality—one that trusts experience, honors personal vocation, and explores how God may still speak within the drama of everyday life.

In this year-end intimate dialogue, philosophers Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal return to one of the most enduring questions in philosophy and theology: why evil persists, and what that persistence reveals about God.
Drawing on Jerry’s prayer experiences and Jon Levenson’s Creation and the Persistence of Evil, the conversation explores the idea of an evolving God—not as a denial of divinity, but as a way of understanding divine struggle, incompleteness, and ongoing relationship with the world.
Moving through Jewish thought, rabbinic midrash, and biblical interpretation, Jerry and Abigail consider divine ambivalence and the intimacy implied in speaking to God as a family member rather than a distant abstraction.
Abigail reflects on her own philosophical autobiography, "Confessions of a Young Philosopher," while Jerry situates God and Autobiography within a broader narrative of God’s interaction with cultures, histories, and individual lives.
The dialogue turns to skepticism and epistemology, questioning whether modern habits of doubt genuinely reflect how human beings know and live. Against intellectual posturing, the episode argues for sincerity, trust in experience, and the moral seriousness of truth-seeking. Love, in particular, emerges not as a distraction from philosophy but as a decisive mode of knowing—one that reshapes memory, reframes the past, and opens new ways of understanding both God and the self.
This conversation closes the year by inviting listeners into a deeper form of spiritual inquiry—one grounded in history, relationship, and lived truth rather than abstract certainty.

In Episode 263 of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, philosopher Jerry L. Martin reflects on one of the most enduring and difficult questions in philosophy and theology: the problem of evil.
In this From God to Jerry to You episode, Jerry describes a pivotal moment near the end of his spiritual journey, when what he calls the “impossible puzzle” finally came together. Drawing on John D. Levinson’s Creation and the Persistence of Evil, Jerry explains how God affirmed a radical insight—that the world, and even God’s presence within it, can be understood as incomplete and still unfolding.
The episode introduces two complementary ways of seeing reality: a horizontal perspective, in which struggle, disorder, and moral effort unfold over time, and a vertical perspective, in which ultimate meaning, goodness, and victory are already present. Through this lens, human action—acts of obedience, love, and partnership with God—becomes essential to the healing and completion of the world.
Jerry also reflects on the Kingdom of God, not as a distant future event, but as a living reality made present through love. Seen in this light, Jesus is not merely a historical figure, but a cosmic presence—one who embodies God’s full presence in the world and serves as a conduit to the Kingdom of God.
This episode offers a thoughtful, non-reductionist approach to suffering, meaning, and faith, and will resonate with listeners wrestling with the limits of purely material explanations of reality.
Listen, reflect, and experience the world from God’s perspective — as it was told to a philosopher.

What’s Your Spiritual Story? is a continuing series from God: An Autobiography, The Podcast that invites real people to share the journeys that shaped their spiritual lives. Each episode explores how the search for meaning, identity, and connection unfolds through personal experience—and how God meets us in surprising ways.
In this week’s conversation, Amanda joins Dr. Jerry L. Martin to reflect on the path that brought her from a childhood marked by instability to a life of seeking, learning, and slowly opening toward the spiritual dimension.
She describes how psychology and philosophy helped her make sense of the world, how meditation and sacred texts offered moments of grounding, and how discovering a God who suffers with us reshaped her understanding of love and presence. Her story highlights the quiet ways growth can emerge from vulnerability and how even confusion, pain, and uncertainty can become part of a meaningful spiritual journey.
If you’ve ever wondered whether God is present in the difficult places of life—or whether your own story “counts” as spiritual—this episode offers gentleness, curiosity, and hope. It’s a reminder that the search itself matters, and that there are many ways God reaches out along the way.

What if theology is not a set of inherited doctrines, but life seeking understanding?
Learn more in Jerry’s latest book, Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, and subscribe for weekly episodes that explore God, spiritual experience, and the ongoing journey of the soul.
In this second installment of Radically Personal, philosopher Dr. Jerry L. Martin explores what he calls Theology Without Walls — a seeker-centered approach that begins with direct experience rather than boundaries set by any single tradition.
Jerry reflects on the challenge of religious exclusivism, the belief that only one religion is true while others must be rejected, engaging the influential argument by Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga. Plantinga contends that simple logic requires believers to view other religions as false. Jerry examines this claim carefully, suggesting that many spiritual teachings once assumed to be contradictory may, in fact, illuminate different aspects of divine reality. Truth may not be limited to one place or one people.
The conversation considers how spiritual knowledge grows. Just as scientific understanding expands by taking in new insights rather than discarding what came before, religious understanding can deepen when seekers remain open to what God may disclose beyond familiar walls. Jerry proposes a different epistemic strategy — one grounded in conviction but accompanied by humility — acknowledging that human beings are limited, that divine mystery exceeds our concepts, and that God may be revealing truth in multiple traditions across the world.
This episode is a call to be rooted, open, curious, and responsive — to seek a relationship with the Divine that is radically personal.

In this week’s episode of Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal explore how God communicates through intuition, dreams, insights, and the quiet promptings that redirect a life.
Their conversation speaks directly to listeners who wonder why God can feel hidden and how to recognize a true divine nudge.
Jerry reflects on the moment he heard the message “Your work here is over,” a turning point that led him away from a successful Washington career and toward writing God: An Autobiography. He describes how inner guidance can be unmistakable even when it arrives without logic or explanation.
Abigail offers her own powerful experiences, including years of divine absence in her twenties, a visionary encounter with angelic presence and prophecy, and the moral resolve that shaped her effort to remove a predatory figure from her temple. She shows how spiritual experience intersects with honor, justice, and courage in real life.
Together, Jerry and Abigail consider why divine guidance is unpredictable, how intuition challenges rational analysis, and how spiritual communication reshapes our understanding of calling and purpose. They reflect on timing, prophecy, and the ways God works through both silence and intervention.
The episode also turns toward women’s lives, agency, vulnerability, and the limits of second-wave feminism.
Abigail reflects on what she feels called to now, and Jerry considers how her insights continue the larger spiritual and philosophical journey they share. This intimate dialogue weaves together spiritual autobiography, lived philosophy, and honest testimony.

In this week’s episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Jerry L. Martin explores one of the most practical and urgent spiritual questions we face: How do we know what we’re meant to do with our lives—and how do we tell when God is guiding us?
Drawing on the Hindu concepts of dharma and swadharma, Jerry explains the difference between our role-based responsibilities and our deeply personal calling; the tasks that “have your name on them.” From there, he turns to the heart of the episode: a clear, four-step method God gave him for recognizing divine communication in daily life.
You’ll learn how God speaks through prayer, dreams, intuition, hunches, insights, and inner signals, and how to prepare yourself to receive that guidance. Jerry breaks down each step—listening, heeding, openness of heart, and sensitive attunement—as a real spiritual practice you can begin using today.
Whether you’re discerning a big life decision or simply trying to stay more connected to the sacred in everyday moments, this episode offers an accessible, experiential path for SBNR seekers looking to deepen their relationship with the Divine.
Listen in as Jerry shares how your search for God meets God’s search for you, and how the relationship unfolds from there.

In this deeply moving episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, philosopher Richard Oxenberg—co-author of Two Philosophers Wrestle With God—shares his full spiritual story for the first time.
His journey begins with childhood tragedy: witnessing the sudden death of his seven-year-old sister. The shock shattered his early understanding of God, safety, and reality. From that moment, Richard became a lifelong seeker.
He describes moving through secular Judaism, atheism, and years of intellectual searching. Zen Buddhism, Hindu philosophy, and the symbolic theology of Paul Tillich each opened new doors, yet none fulfilled his deeper longing for spiritual connection.
Everything changed when he encountered an Indian guru and experienced overwhelming energetic phenomena—experiences that were both exhilarating and terrifying. This crisis pushed him toward Christianity, where a transformative encounter at a monastery in Conyers, Georgia offered unexpected peace.
Richard speaks honestly about trauma, mystical experience, fear, grace, and the long struggle to discern truth. He explores the difference between understanding God intellectually and encountering the divine directly.
Through reflections on samsara, the ground of being, baptism, communion, and the “peace that passeth understanding,” Richard reveals how faith finally took shape in him as trust in the ultimate goodness of reality.
This episode is a profound look at doubt, longing, spiritual awakening, and the human search for meaning—and at a God who meets us through every question.

How do we recognize when God is gently guiding us? Is it a voice, a feeling, or a moment of connection we might almost overlook?
Scott shares a simple encounter at a bagel shop that turned into a surprising moment of synchronicity — a reminder that a radically personal God often reaches us through quiet intuition and ordinary experiences.
Jerry reflects on why these subtle encounters matter, how spiritual discernment develops through humility rather than ego, and why integrity is essential to recognizing and responding to divine nudges.
This conversation invites listeners to notice the signs of God’s presence that show up not as grand events but as meaningful interactions, inner clarity, and the feeling that something is simply right.
Whether you identify as spiritual, religious, both, or neither, this episode offers a way to see daily life as full of spiritual possibility — a world where God is closer than we think and is always communicating in a deeply personal way.

Radically Personal is a new series exploring how divine reality reveals itself within the lives of individual seekers. Based on Dr. Jerry L. Martin’s newest book, Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the series invites listeners to rethink what it means to encounter the divine as intimately present and personally responsive. Each episode follows the unfolding conversation between human experience and transcendent reality, uncovering how theology itself must evolve to meet a pluralistic, spiritually awake world.
In this premiere episode, “How Divine Reality Reveals Itself in Every Spiritual Journey,” Jerry begins with a simple but profound truth: reality discloses itself. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and lived experience, he explores how ultimate reality — or what we might call God — has revealed itself across times, cultures, and religious traditions.
Through stories like missionary Kenneth Cracknell’s awakening in Nigeria and reflections on Abraham Joshua Heschel’s life-seeking theology, Jerry challenges traditional boundaries and invites a new kind of understanding. Theology Without Walls, he argues, is not just a scholarly ideal but a way of life: the quest to orient one’s being toward the ultimate source of meaning.
Hosted by Scott Langdon, this episode introduces listeners to a living philosophy of faith — one that honors revelation wherever it occurs and asks how each of us might find our own access point to the divine.
✨ Listen as theology becomes personal, revelation becomes universal, and the search for God becomes the search for your truest self.

When can love—and even pain—become a form of revelation?
In this powerful dialogue, Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal trace the mysterious link between romantic love, moral conscience, and divine communication. Abigail shares two defining experiences of spiritual discernment: a moral act that cost her a lifelong family bond, and the unexpected moment she realized she was falling in love. Both called for the same inner movement—trusting what had her name on it.
Jerry reflects on his own “Why me?” experience of revelation, exploring how trust bridges the human and divine, and how moral courage and love alike can summon the soul toward its destiny. Together, they ask: How do we recognize the voice of God when it speaks through ordinary life? When is trust not blind, but a sacred form of clarity?
Drawing on philosophy and lived experience—from Aristotle and Husserl to the dream world of conscience—Jerry and Abigail reveal that divine communication doesn’t always arrive in thunder. Sometimes, it whispers through the courage to act, or the surrender to love.
This episode invites you into a deeply human and spiritual conversation—where reason and revelation meet the heart.

Five years. 250 episodes. Countless stories of faith, struggle, and discovery.
This milestone episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast is a deep reflection on what it means to grow spiritually through suffering, to find joy again, and to experience divine love as a personal reality.
In this special episode, Scott, Jerry, Abigail, Laura, and Mandi come together to look back on the last five years and explore how this project has transformed each of them.
You’ll hear moments of vulnerability, laughter, and insight as we talk about:
- Suffering and the Law of Growth – Jerry shares God’s teaching that suffering is not meaningless but the very path by which we grow. He describes the moment he realized that God suffers with us — that when we feel pain, God says “ouch” too.
- A God Who Feels With Us – Scott reflects on his acting career and the way embodying pain on stage helped him understand the personal God who is fully present in our lives.
- Breaking Free From Spiritual Abuse – Mandi opens up about growing up in a controlling family, being told belief in God was foolish, and finally finding the courage to pray. Her first prayer was a desperate request for a job with meaning — and it was answered, leading her to this project.
- Love That Disrupts and Heals – Abigail tells the story of falling in love with Jerry, trying to remain detached, and eventually surrendering to a love that upended her carefully ordered life — and changed it forever.
- Wisdom Across Generations – Laura reflects on how her role has evolved over the years and how focusing on her own spiritual growth allows her to comfort and encourage others.
Together, the team discusses how this project invites listeners into the New Axial Age — a time when wisdom from all spiritual traditions is brought together to illuminate a richer, more connected path forward.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Jerry and Abigail pick up where last week’s episode left off, turning from the idea of swadharma — one’s unique calling — to how that calling actually plays out in a real life.
Jerry reflects on the Bhagavad Gita’s teaching that it is better to follow your own duty, even imperfectly, than to live someone else’s well.
Abigail shares what it feels like when a fight “has her name on it,” telling the story of the battle to save Brooklyn College’s core curriculum and how that reluctant fight brought Jerry into her life.
They discuss the courage it takes to give up security for meaning, Jerry’s choice to twice walk away from tenure, and the role prayer plays in guiding his decisions. Abigail recalls a formative past-life memory of her death in 1930s Germany and how it shaped her lifelong commitment to confronting evil, writing about the nature of evil, and standing up against antisemitism.
The conversation turns to the “summons of love,” romance as co-constitutive with divine calling, and the serious work of keeping the romantic quest alive over a lifetime. Abigail explores the challenges of being a woman philosopher, the tension between femininity and academic culture, the dangers of free love, and the need for modesty and discernment.
Together they hold love, moral courage, and spiritual purpose in dialogue, seeking a way to live fully in history — with God as partner.

What does the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata, often called “India’s Iliad,” have to say about your life today?
In this From God to Jerry to You, philosopher Jerry L. Martin shares what God revealed to him while praying through the pages of this vast epic and its centerpiece, the Bhagavad Gita.
God’s surprising message is clear: the purpose of life is not to escape through yoga, asceticism, or lofty philosophy, but to engage; to face sin, suffering, mortality, and the challenges of human existence.
Jerry explores the story of the good king Yudi, who must wrestle with duty, saintliness, and the shocking truth that sometimes the morally imperfect is morally required.
Krishna reminds him, and us, that true spirituality is not retreat but responsibility, even when choices carry painful costs. Jerry breaks down the word and meaning of swadharma, or personal duty: your unique calling in life.
Drawing on the Bhagavad Gita, Dag Hammarskjöld’s reflections, and Abigail Rosenthal’s piercing question, “Does this task have my name on it?” Jerry invites you to discern your own path. Because only when you say “yes” to your calling does life take on true meaning.
This conversation bridges East and West, scripture and modern life, divine revelation and personal reflection. Whether you are a seeker, a philosopher, or simply searching for guidance, this episode offers wisdom you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, host Scott Langdon and philosopher Jerry L. Martin explore the meaning of the New Axial Age: a transformative era of spiritual development that God revealed to Jerry during their dialogues.
What does it mean that “the old religions are coming apart, yet there is a renewal of religious spirit”?
Together, Scott and Jerry reflect on how history’s first Axial Age, with figures like the Hebrew prophets, Socrates, Confucius, and the Buddha, reshaped human consciousness, and why God says it’s time for His story to be told again, and not in the same way.
They discuss themes of religious renewal, the rise of “spiritual but not religious” seekers, the role of communication technology, and the invitation to live a radically personal faith in today’s world.
Join the conversation as they consider philosophy, theology, and the divine reality shaping our future.

What’s your spiritual story? In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, philosopher Jerry L. Martin sits down with Joel Weiner to explore a journey that moves from childhood faith, through rejection, to rediscovery and renewal.
Joel grew up in a Jewish home in Philadelphia, went through Hebrew school, and walked away from synagogue life right after his bar mitzvah. Years later, he found his way back, first through the Reform movement at Keneseth Israel, and later as a leader at Temple Judea, where Torah study and community reignited his spiritual curiosity.
Along the way, Joel encountered Jewish Renewal, Hasidic inspiration, and the deeper wisdom behind Torah stories. Together, he and Jerry discuss what it means to be “chosen,” the role of Midrash, how different faiths can walk many roads to God, and why the New Axial Age invites us to see religion beyond walls and labels.
From ecology and technology as gifts of God, to the sacred task of tikkun olam—repairing the world—Joel shares how spirituality becomes real in everyday life. His story shows how faith can evolve with honesty, reason, and heart.
✨ Listen now to discover how Jewish tradition, spiritual renewal, and universal wisdom come together in a personal search for meaning.

In this episode, Jerry and Abigail return for their fourth conversation in the series Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, exploring the most profound theme of God: An Autobiography as Told to a Philosopher: the New Axial Age.
The term “Axial Age,” introduced by philosopher Karl Jaspers, describes the pivotal era when some of the world’s greatest spiritual figures appeared within a few centuries of one another: Socrates, the Hebrew prophets, the Buddha, Confucius, and the sages of the Upanishads.
Humanity shifted on its spiritual axis, developing new ways of thinking, deeper moral insights, and new pathways to the divine. Now, Jerry shares that God revealed to him we stand on the threshold of another great transformation, a new spiritual era filled with both peril and promise.
Together, Jerry and Abigail ask what this might mean for religions and traditions born in the first Axial Age. Are they fading, losing their power to hold communities together, as God suggests, while a new spirituality rises in diverse, often fragmented ways?
Abigail speaks of her profound yet complex relationship with Judaism, her spiritual experiences in India, her affection for Gandhi, and her surprising love of country gospel. Jerry recalls his own journey from Southern Baptist and Pentecostal childhood through philosophy into a direct encounter with God.
Their conversation moves between history, theology, and personal testimony, showing how ancient wisdom and modern lives intertwine. They consider the Jewish vocation of chronology and covenant, the Hindu pursuit of Atman and Brahman, and the universal human calling to partner with God in history.
Through all of this, one theme emerges as both anchor and challenge: to be truthful—to reality, to God, and to oneself.
Are we living through a moment of spiritual collapse or the birth of something radically new?

In this episode of From God to Jerry to You, Dr. Jerry L. Martin explores a profound and timely revelation: the arrival of a New Spiritual Axial Age.
God’s message to Jerry wasn’t just about retelling a familiar story; it was about reframing it for an era in which the world’s faith traditions meet, interact, and evolve in ways never before possible.
Jerry shares how God explained that humanity is living in an extraordinary period of spiritual transformation. The old religious frameworks are loosening, yet there is a renewed hunger for the Divine.
This is not about creating one universal religion, but about opening pathways for spiritual growth through dialogue, exchange, and creative adaptation across traditions.
Listeners will hear how the original Axial Age — the time of Socrates, Confucius, the Hebrew prophets, and Hindu sages — reshaped human consciousness, and how today’s spiritual landscape mirrors that transformative energy.
From the personal God of the Old Testament to the Hindu concept of the Atman, Jerry illustrates how these truths, when received in new contexts, can spark fresh revelations and foster spiritual development.
God’s vision invites people of all backgrounds to draw wisdom from multiple sources, not blending them into sameness, but allowing each tradition to inspire new insights and deepen the understanding of Divine reality.
Join us for an episode that bridges faith and philosophy, history and the present day, and invites you to see your spiritual path as part of a larger, living story.

In this moving episode of What’s On Our Mind, Scott and Jerry revisit one of the most difficult questions in spiritual life: why does suffering exist?
Drawing from God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher, they reflect on God’s response to Jerry’s early questions about pain and meaning. God doesn’t minimize suffering—He calls it “the law of growth in the universe.”
Jerry and Scott explore how suffering shapes the soul, how grief expresses love, and how even ordinary moments—taking a photo, mailing a letter—can be spiritually rich. They also challenge the belief that suffering is a punishment or sign of guilt, offering instead a divine perspective that invites growth, presence, and compassion.
Whether you’re struggling or simply wondering, this episode speaks to the human need to find meaning in life’s hardest moments.

What’s your spiritual story? In this heartfelt episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Dr. Jerry L. Martin sits down with hospital chaplain Rosemarie Proctor to explore a life of evolving faith, profound loss, and deep spiritual wisdom.
Rosemarie’s journey began in a strict Catholic upbringing, where fear-based teachings about heaven and hell shaped her childhood worldview. After decades of spiritual disconnection, it was the sudden loss of her husband and an unexpected prayer from a local minister that opened the door to healing—and brought her back to faith through the Episcopal Church.
At 85 years old, Rosemarie shares her transition from grieving widow to spiritual comforter, offering insight into how she became a hospital chaplain despite never intending to walk that path. In one of the episode’s most moving moments, she recalls the 9/11 chaplain’s prayer—a guiding force in her ministry: "Lord, take me where you want me to go, let me meet who you want me to meet, help me say what you want me to say, and get me out of the way."
Jerry and Rosemarie also discuss:
- How meditation and gardening helped her rediscover the divine
- Her experience with Reiki and insights into Eastern spirituality
- Why God: An Autobiography affirmed her long-held belief that God sets different paths for different people
- The idea of a personal God who is evolving through relationship with humanity
Whether you're religious, spiritual-but-not-religious, or simply curious about the many ways people find meaning, this episode invites you to reflect on the turning points that shape our spiritual lives.

What does it mean to love someone deeply in a world where suffering is inevitable? Jerry and Abigail return for another honest and intimate reflection on a recent health crisis that brought the pair face-to-face with mortality, vulnerability, and the aching intensity of love throughout it all.
After Abigail suffers a near-fatal injury and a cascade of medical complications, Jerry and Abigail recount the physical ordeal and emotional aftermath. The couple invites listeners into the raw and tender space of survival, caregiving, and spiritual insight while wrestling with questions like: Why does suffering exist? How do we stay open when life threatens to shut us down? And where is God when we feel most broken?
Abigail shares how her sense of self narrowed in response to pain, leaving her with the most minimal form of consciousness she had ever known. Jerry reflects on the surprising joy of enacting love through caregiving. Together, they explore the spiritual transformation that can arise from shared adversity and how moments of crisis can reopen the "skylight" to grace, love, and the transcendent.
From Shakespeare to William James, trapeze metaphors to real-life hospital corridors, this conversation weaves together philosophy, storytelling, and spiritual wisdom as the two (deeply in love) philosophers provide this reflection on suffering as a guide to loving through it, learning from it, and finding God at its heart.
Are you walking through hardship or supporting someone who is? Tune in to hope, grounding, and an invitation to stay spiritually open, even when it hurts.

Why do good people suffer? What does it mean when pain and loss enter our lives without warning? In this profoundly moving episode of From God To Jerry To You, Jerry L. Martin shares a personal story that brings the universal question of suffering into sharp, intimate focus.
When Jerry’s wife, Abigail, experienced a series of life-threatening health crises—a broken hip, emergency surgery, and a near-fatal internal bleed—Jerry found himself grappling with what he has long called the unanswerable question: Why does a loving God allow pain?
These events tested not only his faith but his capacity for love, resilience, and presence in the face of real fear.
Drawing from his dialogues with God and his books God: An Autobiography, and Radically Personal, Jerry reflects on whether suffering has meaning, purpose, or any redeeming qualities. He discusses how caregiving became a spiritual practice and how supporting a loved one can transform pain into an expression of love in action, discovering how moments of crisis can unmask the deepest truths about our relationships and ourselves.
Listeners will hear how faith can be reshaped by hardship, why caregiving can feel both like a burden and a blessing, and how love often shows itself most clearly when everything else falls away. Whether you are spiritual but not religious, exploring your own questions about suffering and purpose, or simply interested in hearing one man’s honest story of struggle and faith, this episode offers insight and encouragement.

In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Dr. Jerry L. Martin talks with Dr. Ray Silverman, a Swedenborgian minister who grew up in a passionately atheist home but always felt a hidden connection to God.
From secretly praying under the covers as a child to later discovering Emanuel Swedenborg’s writings on eternal marriage and universal salvation, Ray shares how his journey led him beyond traditional religion into a deeply personal spiritual life.
Together, Jerry and Ray explore what it means to be spiritual but not religious, how modern revelation continues today, and why spiritual transformation often begins with questioning inherited beliefs. Ray recounts the pain of being disowned by his father when he became a minister, and the joy of finding a faith that embraces love as eternal.
They discuss how Swedenborg’s teachings align with insights in God: An Autobiography, affirming that God speaks to each person in a way they can understand.
Dr. Silverman, author of Rise Above It: Spiritual Development for College Students, also shares how he applies the Ten Commandments in modern life without dogma, helps others overcome “idols” like procrastination, and guides people to attune to divine purpose through everyday moments.
Whether you’re curious about Swedenborgian theology, interested in modern revelation, or seeking your own spiritual story, this episode offers profound reflections on faith, love, and the ongoing presence of God.

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.

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.
Mentioned in this episode:
Creation Untamed by Terence Fretheim, Not Sure by John Suk, #JesusIsMyGuru, Process Theology, Open Theism, Wikigod Podcast, Bereshit, Patripassianism

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 reality
- Why biblical love stories begin the work of God
- Rachel as the sine qua non of sacred history
- Love as an ontological force more than emotion, embedded in being
- Spiritual meaning beyond religion, through feeling, intuition, and integrity
- Cultural contrasts: European vs. American views on love, purpose, and compatibility
- The role of gratitude, authenticity, and moral seriousness in real connection
- What 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.

What happens when divine revelation begins with love?
In this special episode, host Scott Langdon shares how God: An Autobiography, The Podcast has evolved from a dramatic adaptation of Jerry L. Martin’s book to a powerful spiritual resource for seekers, skeptics, and philosophers.

This new series explores both romantic and divine love through the eyes of two philosophers: Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal. Together, they reflect on their life, their love, and the spiritual transformation that began when they met.
With God at the center of their relationship, their conversations speak to anyone longing for meaning, authenticity, and connection on the spiritual path.

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.
This conversation with God explores:
- The spiritual structure of the Old Religion
- The cosmic order of Asha and the sacred role of sacrifice
- Why the spoken word is sacred
- Zoroaster's visions of both divine light and divine darkness
- God's explanation of the inner struggle between good and evil, even within Himself
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 thinking
- Why calling out is essential to divine relationship
- How discernment and self-trust evolve over time
- The difference between ego-driven action and God-led intuition
- Love as God’s truest name
If 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.

In this episode, we revisit Abraham’s powerful story and its deeper meaning in God's relationship with humanity. Why could Abraham hear and obey God so completely? What does his unwavering faith reveal about true obedience and trust in divine will?
Jerry Martin explores Abraham's test, questioning whether such an extreme command could truly come from God. The Voice of God explains the necessity of absolute surrender, divine authority, and the spiritual transformation it brings. What does Abraham’s response to God teach us about faith, submission, and moral dilemmas in the Bible?
We also examine Abraham’s contrasting responses—his silent obedience with Isaac versus his bold plea for Sodom. Why did Abraham challenge God’s judgment over Sodom but not question His command to sacrifice his son? Does God evolve through human interaction? Can divine commands be questioned, or is faith about complete submission?
This thought-provoking discussion challenges traditional views on faith, obedience, and divine justice. We delve into the meaning of divine obedience, the nature of God's test of faith, and whether Abraham was a real person or a symbolic figure in religious history.
Join us for this profound journey into one of the Bible’s most debated stories, exploring God’s voice and divine communication, the spiritual lessons from Abraham’s faith, and the complexity of obedience and morality in the Old Testament.

In this thought-provoking episode, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon explore profound spiritual and philosophical questions that strike at the heart of human existence. What is the purpose of life? How do we find meaning in our daily experiences? And what does it mean to truly fall in love with God?
Drawing on Jerry’s divine conversations detailed in God: An Autobiography, they discuss the concept of a non-teleological approach to life, where meaning lies in the "doing" rather than achieving an ultimate goal. Discover how God’s relationship with humanity evolves through cultures, from Ancient Israel to modern interpretations of love, harmony, and growth.

Through thoughtful dialogue, the episode illuminates the universe as a great act of love and explores how God participates in and grows alongside creation.

Revisit Episode 21, where Dr. Jerry L. Martin, the philosopher who heard the voice of God, explores one of God's earliest forms of communication with humankind: the I Ching, or Book of Changes. The I Ching emerges from humanity’s earliest spiritual attempts to seek divine insight, using oracle bones to reveal God’s presence and guidance. God shares how these human-initiated forms of divination shaped God's communication, presenting Godself not only as the creator but as the embodiment of aesthetic order in the cosmos.
God explains that engagement with early Chinese spiritual seekers influenced the development of the I Chingand laid the groundwork for spiritual traditions like Taoism and Confucianism. God and Jerry discuss:
- Hexagram 1: The Creative – representing perseverance and the masculine force of yang, which God associates with His role as the originator of universal laws.
- Hexagram 2: The Receptive – symbolizing the feminine force of yin and its connection to the Earth, focusing on acting in harmony with natural and divine order.
- Hexagram 3: Difficulty at the Beginning – exploring how God views early struggles as a foundation for personal growth and spiritual development.
- Hexagram 5: Waiting – a lesson in patience and nourishment, emphasizing the importance of allowing divine timing to guide human action.
- Hexagram 6: Conflict – offering wisdom on resolving disputes and finding divine balance in moments of tension.
- Hexagram 7: The Army – revealing how organized effort and divine strategy play a role in achieving goals through cooperation.

Can noticing the divine in everyday life transform reality?
This journey enriches the understanding of the divine in everyday life. Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal, author of the upcoming book "Confessions of a Young Philosopher," returns to discuss the philosophical and theological implications and polytheism with Jerry from "God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher."
The coexistence of monotheism and polytheism today, the divine in Andrew Wyeth's art, and the metaphor of fire embodying both creation and destruction are explored. Through nature, art, or music, these experiences resonate deeply, enriching daily lives outside rigid theological structures.
Abigail and Jerry discuss the God of Israel and how God accepts all flaws, just as biblical figures like David were flawed yet significant. The human condition, marked by imperfections, makes life's journey meaningful and challenging.
Embrace contradictions, live in concert with God, and attend to life's rhythms and the spirit within with honesty and sincerity.
Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal is the author of A Good Look at Evil, and Dear Abbie: The Non-Advice Column.

Have you ever felt an inexplicable connection to a location, as if the divine was palpably present just for you?
Ajit Das shares his mystical tales from Kushinagar and insights on lightening the body and mind in the newest What's On Your Mind. Picture a place so steeped in spiritual history that simply being there engulfs you in peace—a phenomenon Ajit likens to a mother's embrace. Jerry responds with his thoughts on actualizing this lightness in our daily lives.
Join us as we uncover the spiritual significance of sacred locations and how they embody divine wisdom. We discuss the nature of time, concentric circles, and the value of these holy places. Ajit's message, woven with his personal encounters of divine warmth, inspires us to consider how we too might find that lightness of being and spiritual liberation that Buddha spoke about, whether it be through yoga, meditation, or selfless service. Reflect on the omnipresence of God and how paying attention to spiritual experiences can lead to divine encounters.
Explore God from the hushed reverence in a conservative Jewish synagogue to a historic theater, where touching the walls seems to connect us to a lineage of experience. Jerry and Scott probe the paradoxical nature of a God who is everywhere and yet experienced more intensely in certain moments and places.

Welcome to another insightful episode of From God To Jerry To You, a spiritual journey through the lens of a philosopher's mind, as we contemplate the intricate relationship between love and personhood. Join Dr. Jerry L. Martin as he poses the profound question: Does God truly love us?
Jerry's philosophical expertise and personal encounters with the divine shine a light on the essential qualities of love, personhood, and the divine nature. From exploring the intricate philosophy of love to examining the nature of personhood and God's intimate connection with humanity, this episode offers insightful reflections on the divine-human relationship.
In an age where traditional theological views often portray God as remote and unknowable, this episode offers a fresh perspective. To experience love from God, one must consider God not merely as an ineffable force but as a personal being capable of consciousness, awareness, and empathy. Join us as we challenge traditional theological views, reinterpret fundamental concepts like 'God is Love,' and uncover the implications of theomorphic likeness.
Engage with God and high theology as we reflect on divinity, consciousness, and human empathy in thought-provoking new ways, with an illuminating dialogue that promises to transform your understanding of the divine.
God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher, is written by Dr. Jerry L. Martin, an agnostic philosopher who heard the voice of God and recorded their conversations. Dr. Jerry L. Martin was head of the National Endowment for the Humanities and of the philosophy department at the University of Colorado at Boulder and founder of Theology Without Walls.

Is it time for you to share your story or experience with God?Does God exist? Have you ever prayed for God to prove that He exists or is listening?
Dr. Jerry L. Martin, author of the true story and reporter of his communication with God, and host Scott Langdon discuss two letters from readers Shaquoiah and Eden responding to God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher.

A special episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast- to celebrate Thanksgiving day and genuine thankfulness for the task of sharing God's story.
We are grateful to all listeners and readers and hope to inspire spiritual journeys and a stronger connection to the divine.
With that gratefulness in heart, we revisit episode 9 of the dramatic adaptation of God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher, where God asks Jerry to write God's story.
God shares with Jerry that religions do not tell the full story of God's development. It is time for a courageous messenger to carry this new message of an evolving God forward. Can this agnostic messenger shake his ego, and does he have enough faith to share God's story?
"I felt like Dorothy swept up in a whirlwind. And poor Abigail. Would she be swept up to? Her train had finally arrived. Over dinner, I broke it to her..."

By accepting God's multiplicity, taking God out of the box, and paying attention to what nurtures your soul, you may discover a deep spiritual avenue that transcends doctrines through the simple joys of love, community, and music.

Philosophical and spiritual dialogues sharing a new perspective on Eastern religions from God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher. Explore Eastern religions as experiences with God in uniquely intrinsic ways, from deep within one's self, and discover how Eastern spirituality guided human spiritual development and the growth of God's story and evolution.
While Jesus and Buddha share words of empathy and compassion, Western and Eastern religions have distinctive histories with God and interact with the Divine in very different ways.
Consider a new perspective on Hinduism and understand reincarnation as a learning process. Within infinite worlds and lives, each lifetime is a pursuit of Karma, or balance, utilizing Dharma as a call from each person's talents and story to achieve spiritual living.
Listen to a new view on Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism as revelations of harmony, compassion, and empathy, but with a new insightful twist on God's perspective of Buddha's revelation.
Join host Scott Langdon for this profound conversation between Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Richard Oxenberg daring to consider God's perspective in the series Two Philosophers Wrestle With God, Dialogue 9- Eastern Religions.
Dr. Jerry L. Martin is a philosopher and author of the true story, God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher, and is the founding chairman of the Theology Without Walls group at the American Academy of Religion. Dr. Richard Oxenberg is a professor at Endicott College and has published numerous articles on ethics and theology, including his book: On the Meaning of Human Being: Heidegger and the Bible in Dialogue.

Jeremiah, Ramakrishna, the writers of the Upanishads, and Lao Tzu-illustrations of God's contact through unique cultural traditions, language, technology, resources, and developed consciousness. Dialogue 9 examines the impact of Eastern spirituality on the development of divine reality through transpersonal interactions with God, rather than the personal aspects of God, resulting in the actualization of distinctive aspects of God. Explore the soul, or the Atman, and imagine infinite worlds and an ultimate level uncovered through Jerry's conversations with God.

Just as God adjusted communications according to each culture's needs, capacities, and talents, God interacts on a personal level, expressing different aspects of the divine through each individual, pushing development, driving reality, and writing or story- and God's story. What do prehistoric cave paintings, Chinese aesthetics, The Upanishads, and Jesus have in common? They are all examples of divine interaction within different cultures.
At this point in history, a time of globalized communication, a new familiarity with diverse religions, revelations, and enlightenments across tradition and culture has inspired a renewed spiritual wisdom that God communicates in many ways. Explore this dramatic change in understanding of Divine reality and the relationship between God and humans and discover the rich spiritual meaning of life.
What's On Our Minds- Show host Scott Langdon and Dr. Jerry L. Martin recap the past three episodes and discuss how God develops and learns in partnership with humans through a meaningful relationship.

Hear profound communications from readers responding to God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher, inspired by the pivotal moment of faith when Jerry, a philosopher, and nonbeliever, sends prayers of gratitude to the unknown. Meet Gerald and Margaret, who share contrasting experiences and obstacles in their relationship with God.
Gerald is a skeptic, dismissive of divine relation, yet open-minded enough to be a seeker of truth. Margaret can connect with God in simple yet profound ways but struggles with the relatable issue of willfulness getting in the way of purpose.
Dr. Jerry L. Martin, author of the true story and recorded communication with God in God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher, and show host Scott Langdon, discuss these two letters of spiritual blocks, lessons on life, and forming a purposeful relationship with God- getting to the heart of God's reported message.
If not through the mind, how does God communicate with humans? Open the mind- listen with intellect and heart as this discussion journeys to the existential edge of life. These lessons go beyond philosophy, Hegel, and Buber, and resonate with the same profound wisdom hidden in tales like The Little Prince and preserved in the purposeful willfulness of one of history's greatest treasures, Joan of Arc.

Which is true- evolution or Adam and Eve? Can someone believe in Jesus without being Christian? Explore these timeless questions in part two of the conversation between philosophers Dr. Martin and Dr. Oxenberg on World Religions. Investigate beyond the truths defined through sect and look deeper at the ultimate truths found in revelations.
Uncover the story of Adam and Eve as a myth leading to an essential truth about the pain and suffering that results when detached from God- finally, Adam and Eve can exist with evolution. Monotheism, polytheism, and impersonal nontheistic spirituality are all a part of God's story and this conversation. Understand the Kingdom of God as the reception in the soul of God's presence leading to salvation and the world's divine history. At the heart of every religion is not the same repeated message but a unique representation and aspect of God's Self communicating with diverse and distinctive cultures throughout time, each revealing a puzzle piece to the bigger picture.
The real action is here and now. The battle between good and evil is internal and external, moral and spiritual, and an ongoing struggle. However, this effort creates the story of life- a story with great purpose, integration, and harmony.

Join host Scott Langdon as he connects Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Richard Oxenberg for a dialogue on World Religions, discussing God's presence and revelations throughout history and cultures.

Time to put these pieces together and discover the Ultimate Truth.
Explore religions of the Western world like Paganism, Polytheism, and the unique revelation from Zoroastrianism- a distinctive divulgence of God's two sides and an unexplored understanding of evil.

"Pay attention to your life and what your experience tells you from one moment to the next. What are you learning in it? How are you connecting with reality, with people around you, with whatever elements of the divine are being present to you? Just pay attention."
Consider the language of God's communications through various traditions and experiences and how best to articulate experiences with God or spiritual experiences within these confines. Learn to experience the Atman, the Self behind the Self, and God as ever-present throughout daily life- in the texture of Andrew Wyeth's paintings, Patti LuPone's legendary career as a Broadway star, and Einstein's world-changing genius.
God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher is a revelation reported by Dr. Jerry L. Martin and offers a unique narrative account of God's experiences throughout history and beyond time.

Explore reincarnation and the meaning of karma through God's revelation to Jerry about the nature of human beings and humans' intimate connection with God as a co-partner in a shared world of creation.
Part 2 looks at the wholes within the whole- living harmoniously as an orchestra- but even Beethoven had more love and loss in his life than his perfectly balanced symphonies. Are you answering the many callings and lessons of this life?
The first part of this dialogue focused on God's geocentric and anthropocentric qualities and visited concepts of Darwinian evolution (with a teleological dimension), consciousness, identity, infinite worlds, Leibniz, and Sri Aurobindo.

Join host Scott Langdon as he connects Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Richard Oxenberg to discuss God's revelation to Jerry about the nature of human beings and how humans and God relate. Is God geocentric- focused on what's happening on the Earth? Is God anthropocentric- focused on the development of human beings? To answer these questions, this dialogue also delves into Darwinian evolution (with a teleological dimension), consciousness, identity, infinite worlds, Leibniz, and Sri Aurobindo.
The Atman, or Self behind the Self, is united with Brahman- fundamental reality, the Divine, or God. God's consciousness flows and develops in response to humans' discovery and perception of the Self behind the Self, or Atman. Explore humans' intimate connection with God as a co-partner in a shared world of creation.

Welcome to a special episode of GOD: an Autobiography, The Podcast, a dramatic adaptation and continuing discussion of the book God: an Autobiography, as Told to a Philosopher by Jerry L. Martin.
God's experiences, history, and evolution are rooted in humankind's condition, development, and response to God. This special revisits episode 29 and goes beyond the tip of the iceberg, diving deeper into the concept of the Self beyond the Self to prepare for upcoming episodes in the series Where Two Philosophers Wrestle with God, a dynamic dialogue between two philosophers who will begin shifting the conversation towards investigating the nature of human beings.
"I cannot move at a pace greater than the human reactions. That is why it is important for you to tell My story, My history of interactions with humans, from My side. You will see that a development in God is really a response to, (and) conditioned by, the development of men (human beings) and their response to me."

God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher offers a unique first-person account of God's experiences. God shared his story with philosopher Dr. Jerry L. Martin and explained the God beyond God, existing before Creation, and the birth of the God of this world through the Big Bang.
Imagine each life story as a great drama, with God playing every character, experiencing the suffering and potentiality of the universe through the unfolding of each life story, working in partnership with every character toward the most remarkable story ever told- and lived. Are we more similar than separate from God, flawed but evolving, growing in potentially through our copartnership to achieve an ideal story?
Join us for an insightful conversation between Jerry and Scott about their personal spiritual experiences while recapping points from the most recent podcast series. Jerry discusses loving the God in everyone, even the evilest, and the mind as a medium, something similar to consciousness, housing God's divine presence, the connective tissue of the universe.
Are you living your story's true potential in rhythm with God? Being the best version of yourself involves a simple task- love yourself. Silence the distractions and hardships of the world, relax and yield to God, and discover your ideal life story.

The ancients wondered whether gods were subject to constructs of Time and Fate. Today, we question whether God can change rules like E = mc2 or if He works in rhythm with the universe, yielding to the laws of nature.
Join host Scott Langdon as he revisits a section from God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher that solves these age-old questions and explores Polytheism, reincarnation, the human mind as a medium, and the relationship between God and humans. Following is a dynamic discussion between Dr. Richard Oxenberg and Dr. Jerry L. Martin, investigating the book's implications and the big picture of life.
Is existence meaningless and no one in control as the nihilists believe, or are the absolutists correct in disproving meaninglessness with an absolute reality capable of controlling everything? Join us somewhere in the middle, a twilight zone located at the crossroads of philosophy, history, and our understanding of God. Consider the world's religions as exploratory points of interaction between humans and God, seeking to understand His nature, developing a joint project of self-discovery and fulfillment, leading to the big picture of it all.

"You stand on the threshold of a new spiritual era, a new axial age, in which, for the first time, spiritually attuned individuals will draw their understanding of spiritual reality, not just from the scriptures of their own religious tradition, but from the plentitude of My communications to men and women.
*The upshot will not be a bland acceptance of all so-called scriptures and theological traditions, as if they all said the same thing. As you can see, they do not. But the more accurate of them can be fitted together in a meaningful way.
This is not just a conceptual puzzle-solving, as if the challenge were purely intellectual: how to fit the largest number of pieces into a single coherent story. It is, most fundamentally, spiritual: how to sense which writings and experiences are truly sensitive to the divine reality and how to put them together in a way that is spiritually meaningful, whether or not it seems logical. "*

"You can't get to the truth by starting with some theological nostrums and trying to force divine reality into that box."
"You cannot force people to listen, to understand, to open their hearts, to turn from the things of this world toward God. All one can do is to proclaim the message."
"I just remained open, and prayed more often and more fully, and tried to follow the guidance I felt I received."
"Yes, Mary has a very accessible, feminine, maternal love that is very healing for you."

"There had been vaguely mystical experiences of Me before, but these seers were highly spiritual, highly developed, and made much more of the encounter. "
"The Indian relates to Me through an aspect of the Self that relates to, or is identical with, Me in my total form."

"I will be there for you, by your side, in the fight or in the love. I will be a participant and a partner. That is my essence for human beings."
"Abraham was a remarkable man. When I whispered to him, he responded immediately, like a soldier reporting for duty, 'Here I am.' "
"Telling my story involves what it is like to be a Being who communicates with those whom I love and whose actions mean everything to Me, and what it's like to do so in this indirect and typically unheard or unheeded way."
"The 'I Ching' was a simple guide to action, trying to figure out what the situation was so they could know which virtue was appropriate to it."
"I communicate not only with individuals but with peoples, and My instruments of communication include not just words and voices, but institutions, traditions, mores, historical currents and trends, and the like."
"As I have explained, I grew as a Self in response to the interiority of others, and I wanted to communicate more fully and at a higher level."
"There is no realm from which I am absent, no realm I do not have a direct relationship to."
"The transition to early humans is both slow and sudden. At first, you couldn't tell them from animals, but I could see their potential."
