The Alma Y Tierra Podcast

hello sweet souls and welcome back to the show! in today's longer episode we're talking about a powerful scene from the series The Chosen , entitled 'Matthew 4:24'. we also read the whole of Psalm 119 (which is, in part, the reason for its extensiveness!) the reason that this scene stuck with me, and why i felt compelled to record a whole episode about it, is because Jesus appears...

hello sweet souls and welcome back to the show after a loooong break! today's episode was inspired by musings i had written down after meditating on Proverbs 18, as well as a little raw catch-up/re-introduction. a huge takeaway from this episode, after re-reading these notes i had made some months ago, was that all that needs to happen in order to divert from God, whether that's His will,...

hello sweet souls and welcome back to the Alma y Tierra podcast. something in me tells me that 2026 is going to be the year of radical honesty. as i turned 28 earlier this month, i thought i'd share the annual birthday video that i make for myself, with you. i've been doing this consistently for three years in a row and last year's was shared to youtube , but this is the first year of...

hello sweet souls and welcome back to the Alma Y Tierra podcast; today we're diving into the topic of inspiration and motivation through an unexpectedly spiritual lens. this episode was absolutely God-breathed… as I discuss the etymology of the word ‘inspiration’, derived from the Latin ‘inspirare’ - meaning 'divine guidance' - and the meaning of ‘inspire’, coming from the Old French ‘...

this episode was inspired by a dream wherein God planted a seed of revelation inside of me; the illusory and manipulative nature of knowledge versus the seemingly whispy, according to the world, yet truthfully concrete and grounded, nature of knowing the One, True God. what does Jesus mean when He tells us that we must listen and understand? how can we draw closer to Him to deepen our understandin...
