*Many pagans are spiritual seekers who are desperately deceived in a spiritual morass. They are drawn to nature, God's Creation, without knowledge of God's great love and grace expressed to us in His Son-Jesus. Have you ever wondered where spiritual seekers find community and purpose outside traditional religious structures? Join Jan Markel and her guest, Carl Teichrib, a seasoned researcher of spiritual movements, as we explore the Transformational Events of festivals like Burning Man and Paganicon. These aren't your typical music events; they’re gatherings where souls entwined with broken-hearted spirituality or nature worship come together in search of healing and a higher calling. Carl's insights into these events will spotlight the intricate spiritual quests that captivate attendees and the critical role Christians play in these expanding horizons. The shifting landscape of spiritual beliefs is not confined to festivals alone; it's penetrating the heart of the Christian religion. We discuss the rise of "Paganistan" in the Twin Cities and a personal narrative of a former Baptist drawn to the embrace of Wicca, painting a picture of the cultural and economic forces reshaping religious identities. The conversation further delves into the stories of those who, feeling alienated by the Church, turn to neo-pagan beliefs. As a Christian community, our engagement in these dialogues about faith must be grounded in respect and understanding, recognizing the diversity of journeys that lead many away from traditional paths.

Do we all “love the same Jesus”? Do we need the Catholic Church, the Abrahamic Family House, Rick Warren, the Finishing the Task Coalition, and the Chosen to fulfill the Great Commission? Can we as believers have “unity through community”? “Satan is not an atheist; he believes in God…. He is the god of this world. He’s the author of false religions. Satan’s big program is not to make atheists out of everybody, but just to pervert, just to corrupt the truth enough so that they think they are right with God. They think they are Christians when they are really not. He is the author of false religions.” —Dave Hunt “We all pray to the same god.” —Jonathan Roumie Rick Warren left Saddleback to “work with churches of every denomination.” “You’ve got Catholics, and Jews, and Mormons, and Evangelicals. We’re all loving the same show, so maybe, just maybe, we’re loving the same Jesus.” —Dallas Jenkins "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."

Sacred Geometry *Note from Amos37: In our years of research, our understanding of occult influence in culture, economics, and media has become more prevalent than most know. Sacred Geometry and other occult practices are used to manipulate people, events, and nations. As a Christian, I understand what the Bible calls for, "The Number of the Beast." 666 is naturally occurring in Creation; it is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Shapes described and ratios are NOT to be considered hidden knowledge. It is the number of a man [Revelation 13:18] for in 6 days God created the heavens, the earth, the sea and all that is in them. On the 6th day God created man, and 6 means mans weakness and temptation from the devil. Meaning of Numbers: The Number 6 The number 6 and its meaning are related to man and human weakness, the evils of the devil and the manifestation of sin. Man was created on day six of creation week. Men are appointed 6 days to labor and then they are commanded to rest on the seventh day (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). A Hebrew slave had to serve 6 years before he could be released in the 7th year. Six years were appointed for the land to be sown and harvested. The number is also associated with Satan in his temptation of Jesus. The bringing together of triple six is the mark of the end time Beast power of Revelation. As such, it represents the very best system of governance that mankind can produce without God and under the constant influence of his chief adversary. God, the God of the Bible, Created everything in 6 Days. Simply put, Sacred Geometry is a "Rip-Off" of things found in Creation. God is to be worshiped and praised, not nature (the Pagan, polytheistic worship of created things has become idolatry.) [Romans 1:18-32] Esoteric Quotes on Sacred Geometry: "Sacred Geometry" refers to the assigning of sacred connotation to geometric shapes and proportions. The concept is thought to have originated in ancient Greece with the idea that the universe follows a distinct plan or pre-defined pattern. This concept has been found in various cultures and religions throughout history, including ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Islamic traditions. One of the most well-known symbols of sacred geometry is the Flower of Life, which consists of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles that form a flower-like pattern. This symbol is believed to represent the interconnectedness of all life and the fundamental forms of creation. It has been found in various ancient temples and sites worldwide, indicating its significance in spiritual practices. Another important figure in sacred geometry is the Vesica Piscis, which is formed by the intersection of two circles of the same radius. This symbol is said to represent the union of heaven and earth, as well as the divine feminine and masculine energies. The Golden Ratio, also known as the divine proportion, is another key element in sacred geometry. This ratio, approximately equal to 1.618, is believed to be aesthetically pleasing and can be found in natural forms such as seashells, flowers, and even the human body.
