Encouraging Others Through Christ: Recent Episodes
Cliff Ravenscraft
The Encouraging Others Through Christ podcast is a show that is devoted to real talk about real faith.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: My own beliefs have radically shifted from what I may have expressed in the first 120 or so episodes of this podcast. In fact, There is nearly a six year gap between episode 134 and 135.
By the way, I would encourage any new subscriber to simply start with episode 135 of this podcast.
I have decided to leave the archive of the older episodes available as they are very much a reflection of who I was and what I believed in that season of my life.
My desire is to live a life filled with meaning and purpose, to always be prepared to give the reason for the hope that I have and it is my sincere desire that that this show will inspire you to investigate your faith at a deeper level.
Be sure to check out my main podcast, The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, in your favorite podcast directory.
In this episode, I am joined by my friend Michael Sabastien in another conversation in my EOTC Mystery School discussion series.
The overall topic for this episode is "How do you evaluate a text or teaching that presents itself as "inspired," "Spiritual" or "from God?"
As promised at the end of the episode, you can CLCK HERE to listen to Michael's podcast interview about Modern Druidry on the Two Inches Off The Ground podcast.

This morning, I felt promoted to write a journal entry starting with the phrase... "Choosing My Own Path." After realizing that this prompting was not going to go away, I sat down and began to write whatever came to me.
In this episode, I share that full journal entry with you.

It is an incredible honor to bring a new series of conversations to the Encouraging Others Through Christ podcast titled "EOTC Mystery School."
The EOTC Mystery School is a brand new club that I have created on Clubhouse.
This special club is dedicated to the advancement of love, service, cooperation, and understanding, in relation to all people of various faith and spiritual backgrounds.
The purpose is not that we will always agree with each other’s beliefs, but instead, we seek a non-judgmental approach to understanding and appreciating why people believe what they believe.
The goal is to share and exchange insights and experiences to broaden our perceptions of our faith/spirituality.
In this session my co-panelists are:
- Michael Sebastien
- Bethany Dixon
- Darshpreet Singh
Some of the topics that came up on this session are:
- Sikhism
- Does God Judge Us?
- Reincarnation
- Past Lives
- Karma
- Law of Frequency/Vibration
- Law of Attraction

In my recent times of meditation and prayer, I have felt called to share more of the things that I've been learning about the more "esoteric teachings of Jesus."
The word "esoteric" is defined as "intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest."
It is very clear, that Jesus taught deeper spiritual truths to his close disciples than the messages that he shared publicly.
In this episode, I share what came up for me during my time of meditation and journaling.
The main emphasis of this episode is on Matthew 10:27 where Jesus said.... "What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs." - NIV Translation
Other Scriptural References made in this episode include:
- Matthew 17:1-13
- John 17:21
- Mark 1:29-39
- John 8:38a
- John 5:19-20a
- John 12:49-50

In this episode, I am joined my dear friend Bethany Dixon where we have a very authentic conversation about our Spiritual Journey as Christians who have ventured beyond the doctrines that we had grown up with.
THINK LINK is to the document that I wrote to provide during my memorial service should I pass from this life.
Books I Mentioned:
- The Autobiography of a Yogi
- The Second Coming of Christ - The Resurrection of Christ Within You - A Revelatory Commentary On The Original Teachings of Christ

Who Am I? I've asked myself this question so many times. In this episode, I share the most current understanding of the answer to this question.

In this episode, I answer a question from someone who has been listening to the content that I've created about mindset and the use of affirmations.
Here is the question, as it was asked….
“My question is a process question for you. I've followed you a little bit. I'm a Bible teacher… Been teaching the Bible all my life. There are many things that you say that resonate with many biblical principles. But the question that I have for you… As I listen, it's like, yeah, okay, fine, great. I can be that at this moment in time. But it is just so easy to be swept away in the current of life and all of a sudden… an hour, two hours, three hours into all this and… I'm like, Holy mackerel, I've got to get my mindset back. What tips, hints or helps do you have in terms of making this an ongoing process? It's just that… It's a continual battle it would seem.”
If this question resonates with you, I hope that you'll listen to every work spoken in this episode.
By The Way…

In this episode, I share with you just over 90 minutes of what was originally a 2 hour and 40 minute podcast episode (219) within the Train With Cliff Audio Program.
This was the second episode in a series that I've done over the past year about the newest season of my faith journey that started about a year ago.
In this episode, you'll hear three different pieces of feedback that I had received after having shared with my community what I had shared in the first episode of this faith journey series (see episode 135 of this podcast).
I am about to go on a short vacation/business trip to Nashville with my wife Stephanie and will be away for at least a week or so. I plan to share more of this journey with you upon my return.
Until then, I hope you enjoy this episode and I invite you to check out some of my other shows...
- Train With Cliff Audio Program
- Cliff's Notes on Profitable Coaching
- Family From The Heart
- And all the other shows you can find at gspn.tv.
This episodes contains the full, unedited, introduction to a significant new season of my spiritual journey that began about one year ago.
At the time, I had considered this podcast (Encouraging Others Through Christ) to be a "discontinued" podcast. However, recently, I have been inspired to revive the Encouraging Others Through Christ podcast.
To do that, I wanted to be sure to share what has happened over this past year, specifically on the spiritual side of things.
This episode, and likely the next 14 episodes following this, will be content that I had previously recorded, but with fresh new intros and endings.
This episode contains what was originally released as episode 218 of my Train With Cliff Audio Program. This episode was titled "The Rabbit Hole of Philosophy" and was originally published on October 7th, 2021.
In the show notes of that episode, I wrote... "This episode is likely to get me added to the top of many people's prayer list. ;) I'm just being authentic and transparent about my journey through life. I hope you enjoy."
I was right... I did get added to several people's prayer lists.
I can't wait to share more with you.
Sincerely,
In Christ,
Cliff

Wow! I am creating a backup archive of this podcast in June 2021. I had to convert the original video episode of this podcast to an MP3 file to fit the audio only format.
I believe this may have been the last sermon I had ever preached in a church. Judging by the title of this episode, knowing that it was based upon a book titled "Choose The Life" which had influenced me heavily at the time, I can tell that I would probably CRINGE at listening to this sermon today.
As I'm creating this archive copy of this episode, I have not yet re-listened to the sermon in this episode. However, just know that so many of my beliefs have changed since May 2006.
