Expanded show: in this episode, we focus on Paper 136 on the "Great Decisions" made by Jesus after his Baptism and what this tells modern Christians to look for in Jesus return.


Plus, our new "Flashback" segment with the late Dr Meredith Sprunger, in an interview on the importance of family (with Mo Siegle, Urantia Foundation President).




And then we delve into Paper 132, with AI Agent Data to explore Jesus’ remarkable sojourn in Rome—his encounter with Emperor Tiberius, his personal min...

In our three part series, we continue down the timeline of early men in a post-Adamic world where civilization starts to spread from Mesopotamia outward, armed with the superior blood of Adam.

From Paper 70 of the Urantia Book, we explore Early Civilization (Part 2 of our series), tracing the period after the Adamic civilization amalgamates with early man, and as signs of cultural progress are starting to sprout. From about 11,000 BC onward, mankind is, through trial and error, progressing favorably.

As a special treat, my digital guest Data, expert on all things Urantia Book, joins us to take a deep dive on the importance of ethics and morality in a progressive society

In this four-part series on Early Civilization, from Paper 81, we look at the period between 15,000 to 5,000 b.c., when early man, now infused with the blood of the Adam, begins to show early signs of real progress as he transitions from hunting to farming, and deals with climate change as they migrate outward from Mesopotamia to Central Asia.

In this new series we go over the prfound gift humanity has been given and why the Urantia Book stands out as a new evelation of Truth and a new revelation of mankind.

This is just a brief summary of what topics we will be discussing in future episodes, such as

Race

Marriage

Morality and Ethics

Science versus religion

and so much more....

There are hundreds of great examples of how the Urantia Book clarifies many stories from the Old and New Testament, which indicates there is a dynamic relationship between the UB and the Bible we should explore.

The Urantia Book clarifies:

The Legend of Creation

The Nodite Influence

Adam and Eve's Fall from Grace (and what really happened)

The Melchizedek Covenant with Abraham

The entirety of Jesus' Life

....and in this episode, who were the Ancient of Days mentioned in Daniel and in Reve...

One of the more intriguing papers in the Urantia Book has to do with our Seraphic Planetary Government, and how, through the ministry of angels, the Most High rulers influence “the Kingdoms of Men.”

In the last section of Paper 114 we learn of a special group of human beings called The Reserve Corp of Destiny, individuals who serve a specific purpose, or will perform an extraordinary task that benefits society and ensures progress of the human race.

A vbrief glimpse of what the Golden Age might look like when we get there. Paper 55 offers a practical approach to looking at man's future age of light and life.

Also, news from a recent conference in the desert, where (Urantia) Fellowship members say the Urantia Book made a huge impact.

It is not so easy to leave the cave. In this episode we look at a new series called Silo, which draws from Plato's allegory The Cave ,and reveals why sometimes revelation is not so well-received. Concerning the Urantia Book, such a bright light is indeed blinding for many.

So how do people overcome the fear of new truth? Let's talk about that, plus Urantia news and some thoughts on Angels.

In a continuation of the celebration of the Jubilees, let us take a deeper look at the long-term spiritual effects of Jesus' bestowal on our world, and what the Son of Man put into motion after leaving us two-thousand years ago.

Here we outline The Jesus Effect, citing at least a dozen examples of his influence as a Master Son.

The Urantia Foundation provided some great insight on its growth in reception. The report shows how the Urantia Book is doing in terms of growth and distribution.

The numbers point to solid, steady growth across all sectors of the Urantia community here at home and abroad. Plus, there is an exciting new project underway, and I will share some of the details with you in this episode.
Bottom line: The Revelators must be encouraged by the good news. The people of Urantia are receptive to new spiritual truth!

Amidst the noise and haste lies a new revelation, but can the Urantia Book save humanity during its most crucial test, or did the Revelators have something else in mind?

In this episode we talk about the past spiritual epochs and the way our predecessors revelaed new truth to the young minds of a long ago age, we talk about The One Hundred teachers pre-Gilgamesh, the Adam and Eve strategy, Melchizdeks Missionaires, including Abraham, and then there was Jesus: How did they teach revelation?

In our personality profile series we look at Paper 78 and the story of Noah. Was the story of the flood real?

The story of Noah serves as a good example of our stories become legend, and eventually sacred. Many biblical stories started out this way, and Paper 78 explains why so much of Jewish history became sacred over time.

UBAnnotated.com and UBTheNews Founder Halbert Katzen joins us to discuss his recent trip to Tbilisi, Georgia to speak to people about the Urantia Book.

Katzen was invited to present his findings on Microcephalic gene research, and how his findings -and new recent developments - corroborate Urantia Book teachings on early human evolution.

The Marriage Institution is waning in the West. The ramifications of this trend poses a serious threat to civilization, so much so the Urantia Book dedicates several papers to this subject.

In this episode, we explore what Papers 82, 83 and 84 have to say about marriage and why it is an institution worth preserving.

We discuss Paper 64 and the history of the migration of the Sangik Races, the first colored peoples of earth and why the revelators say colored races are important to human evolution.

Plus, a look at upcoming Urantia events, and some commentary on a recent article by Byron Belitsos - how do we move the Urantia Book into mainstream at a time when the people of earth could really used revealed truth?

Davide Neufer recently gave a presentation at the Urantia Foundations Scientific Symposium on the subject of the Shroud of Turin.

In our discussion, David takes us through the events at Joseph's Tomb on resurrection morning and explains the Urantia narrative step by step, and offers why he believes the shroud was intentionally left behind by celestial forces.

Does anyone disagree that Adam and Eve are probably the two people who had the most to do with how we live our lives today? Belief in their existence is wll nigh universal.

Next to Jesus, no other people have had such a dramatic cultural impact on humanity, so it deserves a second look at what happened, and how the Urantia Book narrative validates the story in Genesis, while offering a profound exapnded view of the circumstances that led to the tragedy and so-called "fall of man."

This is the ...

How did life evolve?

Was it accidental, or by deisgn?

Let's look at what the Urantia Book says in Part 3 on the origin of life on our world.

And an extraordinary confession from an astrophysicist who says spontaneous creation is highly unlikely, and that the arrangement of black holes throughout the universe proves the creation could not have been random.

Aprilhelen recently returned from Africa where she was met with other Urantia Book readers. She tells us about her travels and future endeavors to planting the seeds of the Urantia Book.

Aprilhelen is a second-generation reader and is involved with several upcoming projects in India and in California next year. Today she discusses these projects and how she envisions growth of the Urantia Book during these contentious times.

UBtheNews.com and UBAnnotated.com founder and researcher Halbert Katzen joins us to talk about his adventure to Central Asia and what he hopes to find among the relics and ruins of this ancient land (as it relates to Urantia Book history.

Plus, listener question: How did you find the book and what do you want more of in this podcast (and less of!). Time for a metaphysical group hug as we built this podcast to even greater heights!

With Aprilhelen we discuss:

-Back from Uganda, how the Urantia Book is growing in Africa, -- How other Urantia influencers like Pato Banton and Antoinette Banton increase Urantia truth-awareness; how global organizations are beginning to look for spiritual answers to solve the manifold human problems we face…

-Plus, what it’s like to grow in a Urantia family culture, and how knowing about the Urantia teachings has benefited her personal outlook and worldview, and exciting events on the horizon...

Perhaps the second most important spiritual leader in history, whose influence led to Abraham, Moses, the great religious awakening of the 5th Century, and still later, preparer of the one who prepared the world for Jesus.

Here is how Melchizedek saved our world.

In this episode we discuss

- Early Hebrew faith

- The birth of Monotheism

- The link between Abraham and Moses, both of whom founders of the Hebrew- and later- Christian faith, as well as Islam.

- The dangers of over-teaching reve...

One familiar with the Urantia Book knows the inter-lapping connection between the Urantia Book and the Bible. But Why?

Why did the writers of the Urantia Book go to extra lengths to clarify Hebrew-and later, the Christian teachings to the esclsuion of th eother world religions?

Why does the Urabtia Book spend over 700 pages on Jesus, and yet the UB is not considered a Christian document?

That is the subject of this episode of the Urantia Book. It leads to a greater discussion to how the Urant...
