Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #30: The "Punk" Ethos & Why Need An Underground Punk Movement More Than EverIn this episode I'm exploring the idea or the ethos of "punk," delving into the spirit of the word itself, what it means for us, and where we go to find it. I imagine the idea of punk as being an underground movement, primarily. This corresponds with mythic ideas of depth and the underworld. Punk as an idea and as a movement presents an adverse response to the values and ideas of our upperworld lives, where we live and work. Whatever directions our upperworlds are moving, along with whatever ambitions we ourselves have planted there, the punk impulse wants...

Nations 4 JesusThe Convergence Generation: Ten Bible Prophecy Signs of 20252025 saw unprecedented acceleration of prophetic events including Trump's ten-leader "Board of Peace," AI advancement as Antichrist's primary tool, the spiritual awakening following Charlie Kirk's assassination, rising persecution of Jews and Christians, and the spread of aberrant prophetic theologies.

It has also opened up a new "Pandora's Box," with which we now have the tools and the power to make ourselves, the human race, obsolete.

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #27: The Psychology of Fundamentalism: A Monotheistic Vision of the SoulThrough the lens of James Hillman's theory on archetypal psychology, I explore the phenomenon of "fundamentalism" as a psychological one, primarily. Arguing that this is an aspect of a monotheistic vision of the soul, I explore the implications of its cultural, religious, and political impact on the world, and how this relates to the rise of an authoritarian impulse we are currently witnessing worldwide.

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #26: The Faustian Bargain For Power Over ErosAs a species, we humans traditionally do not handle paradoxical tensions well. Whether in the individual human soul or in relationship to each other, our failure to understand the wisdom of certain tensions and learn how to balance them well inevitably leads to war. History bears all the scars of our repeated cycles of war and peace (or breaks from war). We live in a moment of history where unbridled power, cruelty, dehumanization, and a collective insanity are exerting themselves in a way that is overwhelming, violent, deadly, callous, and indifferent. In this episode I explore the aspects of...

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #25: The Tale of the Half-ManPhilosophers, theologians, and storytellers alike have been grappling with the phenomenon of the 'Self' since time immemorial, trying to describe what it is and what it is not. We all experience the paradoxical sensations of both separateness and unity. The Tale of the Half-Man is an exploration into what happens when part of a unified whole chooses to separate itself and make itself a distinction. In the case of this story, taken out of a chapter of my book, "The Fire That Never Dies: Dragons of the West," and retold here; it is envisioned within the context of a...

I acknowledge both the gifts I have received from the faith and religious community of my past, as well as a continued and growing anger and frustration in the face of the rising popularity of Christian Nationalism. I also express my raw and candid thoughts about the institutions that have seeded and nurtured the obsession to replace liberal...

With the help of a good friend to walk me through a healing ceremony out in the wild deserts of Southern California, I find forgiveness, healing, redemption, and release. This episode concludes with a song...the only song I have ever written about my father directly. It walks through all the complex emotions I've had in relationship to him over the years.

A serendipitous chain of events in my senior year of college opened the door to an unexpected pathway which led me to go to graduate school where I studied to become a therapist. This proved to be a frutiful time of personal, spiritual, and educational enlightenment and renaissance for me, and I still recount those years as some of the most fulfilling and illuminating of...

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesMy Religious Deconstruction Story: Part 2In this episode my story resumes around my early college years and the particular struggles I was having and developing around that time. Having covertly lost my faith in the church of my upbringing and my larger faith in God beginning to erode rapidly, I set out to look for answers and the truth beyond the familiar confines of my religious community; outside the borders of its theological tenets, assumptions, and presumptions. Giving myself the gift of this freedom did come with a cost. I had left my community and its various safety nets behind. This episode concludes with...

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesMy Religious Deconstruction Story: Part 1Religious deconstruction is a path of transition, like so many other transitions that all of us go through in life. It has the components of loss, crisis, confusion, grief, and anger. It also includes catharsis, wisdom, joy, anticipation, and the opportunity for new life to arise out of the ashes of an old one. My deconstruction journey begins for me at the age of 10, when our family learned that my father was diagnosed with cancer and ends in the middle of my high school years, particularly at the age of 16, when my father lost his battle with cancer, and...

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #17: Apokalypsis: A Time of Turmoil & RevelationThe term Apokalypsis is a Greek word that denotes a "revelation" or an "unveiling." It is the term from which we derive the modern word apocalypse. Unlike modern, fundamentalist religious movements that interpret this idea to mean the literal end of the world, the original term denotes something different, if no less harrowing. The moment of revelation, in both Biblical and mythical literature always heralds a change to come, and typically no small change, but rather something very big and profound which will impact an entire people, nation, or in our case today, yes, the entire world. It hearkens...

We also explore the power of intention and balance as mechanisms for both growth and healing in our lives, as Bear talks about using past traumas as more of a "springboard rather than an anchor," as he puts it.

Such moments in human history are accompanied by fear, confusion, and chaos. In this episode I talk about the psychological realities of hell, and how we can learn, collectively, to walk through such difficult times together.Â

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #11: The Divine Feminine & Divine Masculine, Part 1: A Conversation With Dr. Amy FerrellThe Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine archetypes in myths and fairy tales are both powerful symbols and powerful binaries, between which the human race investigates more of its own fullness and wholeness in the underlying unity of non-binary spaces. These archetypal symbols and energies are qualities which belong to all human beings, regardless of sex or gender, and as such are capable of being manifest and nutured in all of us. In part one of this three part series, Dr. Amy Ferrell and I engage in meaningful dialogue about our own experiences and encounters with each of these powerful...

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #10: The Tale of the Half-ManThe stories which invoke such powerful, archetypal imagery as that of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies are both timeless and ageless. These images, or symbols, are divine forms of energy that belong to all human beings. In this sense they are not restrained to either gender or sex. What happens, however, when we as a species begin to impose our own ideas of sex, gender identity, and patriarchal demands on these timeless images? The Tale of the Half-Man is a story which can invite us into this particular conversation. This episode is an introduction to a four...

Myth & Fairy Tale Podcast: How Stories Shape and Change Our LivesEpisode #7: The Wizard of Oz: An Exploration In Mythological InterpretationThere are many different ways to engage and interact with stories. In this episode I provide but one example of the interpretation of a story where each character and component of the story itself is understood as being an aspect of the protagonist's personality, in this case, Dorothy from Kansas. From this perspective, the land of Oz is a metaphor for Dorothy's unconscious self, and all the characters in the story, from the cowardly lion to the wicked witch, are all different aspect of Dorothy's own personality.Â

Our individual and collective journeys to realize and retrieve a connection with our own inner wholeness is a journey of re-remembering that which we have forgotten, that which we have lost sight of. Much of the first part of life consists of ego-building; learning to skills, trying new things, and figuring out our own identities as we grow and develop. At some point, the call changes in our lives, away from ego-building and back into re-remembering the full essence and truth of our individual selves...the truth...

ESCHATOS MINISTRIESA Reply to Jan Markell's "Understanding the Times" Prophecy Conference and Ed Hindson Likening Prewrath to Beating Your Wife - Ep 45I first talked about Jan Markell’s sensational, pretrib, annual, Bible prophecy conference. It represents the typical pretrib conference that is not very helpful for people to learn about Bible prophecy.
Second, I played a clip of pretrib teacher Dr. Ed Hindson from last year’s Markell’s conference. It was full of rhetoric claiming that prewrath teaching is tantamount to beating your wife. You can see the video clip below where he shows a picture of an abused woman on his powerpoint for the audience!
I gave two responses to Hindson’s bad theology.
