  • 224. What's On Your Mind – Calling Out to God
    Mar 27 2025

    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?

    In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Michael Poliakoff explore the evolution of thought and tradition from ancient Jewish practices and Egyptian influences to the philosophical insights of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, and Emmanuel Levinas.

    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.”

    How do ritual and habit shape moral understanding? And what happens when tradition gives way to reason?

    Key Themes in This Episode:

    • Ritual and Ethical Evolution – From Jewish law and Confucian rites to Aristotle’s philosophy of virtue
    • Jonah and Nineveh: God’s Call Beyond Borders – What it means to be “chosen” and how divine purpose extends beyond any single tradition
    • Levinas and the Ethics of the Other – How encountering another person transforms our understanding of self and morality
    • The Power of Tradition in Daily Life – From religious rituals to simple habits, how they shape human interaction and spirituality
    • Breaking Down Borders: Ancient Thought and Modern Philosophy – How wisdom from across cultures connects in the search for meaning

    This episode presents a rare exploration of how ritual and reason interact—not just in religious practice, but in the very fabric of human thought. Whether you're interested in philosophy, history, or spirituality, this discussion offers insights that transcend time and tradition.
