An episode packed with Urantia-related topics including recent events prompting me to write a new book about the UB, plus, what lessons can we learn from the Sumerians as we battle evil in the world today, and an interesting Jesus moment we can all learn from when he was "cleansing the temple."

In this episode, I discuss the impact Lucifer's Rebellion had on our world, and how Caligastia may play a continuing role today in sponsoring rampant evil. It's not an easy subject because man is certainly responsible for his own evil acts, but how does evil manifest? This is part of our discussion.

Also, new DNA discoveries confirm Urantia Book teachings about early South American migration.

In this episode, we look at the youth problem and what is happening in our society due to secularism, even to the point where young people are no longer connected to "the inner world" where they learn meanings, values, ethics, and moral character. The revelators warned us what would happen if we don't teach basic truths to our young.

Part 3 of the Urantia starts with the history of our world, including a brief introduction to the beginnings of the nebula that gave birth to our sun.

This episode puts into perspective the relative meaning of time, the vastness of space, and the effort that goes into universe-building.

In a recent episode the UB recounts the early culture of mankind and how we developed our "rule’s of living."

In Paper 68, which we read, the Revelators give us specific things we must do if we are to finally achieve peace and goodwill.

What made us progress? What drives society to be better? The answer may surprise you as the Revelators share with us our early beginnings, from Paper 68 and the Dawn of Civilization, this time up on the Urantia Radio Podcast

The Urantia Revelation actually commenced on February 11, 1923 in Chicago.

Let's discuss....

In this episode, we honor several influential Urantia Book students who have passed in recent weeks, plus a closer look the the Salem teachings of Melchizedek and his lasting influence in the world since his appearance 4,000 years ago.

In this episode we continue our examination of truth as it is viewed today. But how is Truth connected to reality if reality itself is subjective? Is Truth also subjective? This is epilogue to our earlier discussion of Lucifer's impact on modern society.

Two fellow Urantia Book students have a sobering conversation about materialism, global affairs and what challenges face us in the modern times. How will the teachings of the Urantia Book help us, or will they help us at all? This is a great discussion about science, materialism, religion and the role of our "unseen friends."

In this episode we examine the current age and ask, is this what a tribulation looks like? Could this be it? Are we in a time where we have to decide between liberty and tyranny. What does Jesus offer in this regard, and what does the UB say about such a test of faith. It's a discussion that has many interesting facets in this edition of the Urantia Radio Podcast Follow us at UrantiaRadio.net Also on Twitter @UrantiaRadio
