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.

How do rituals, traditions, and philosophical reasoning shape our understanding of the divine and the human experience?

The conversation examines how humanity has sought wisdom across cultures and eras—from the Torah’s laws to Aristotelian virtue, Confucian ethics, and Levinas’ concept of “the other.”

• Breaking Down Borders: Ancient Thought and Modern Philosophy – How wisdom from across cultures connects in the search for meaning

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.
