This week, we continue our study of one of the most fascinating and intriguing parts of the Urantia Papers, Paper 44 - The Celestial Artisans.

Celestial Musicians manipulate spiritual fo...

Politics is nothing new to this world; Jesus would certainly tell us that. The Urantia Book teaches that it was politics and not God's will that brought on Jesus' assasination. Judas is not the hero of the Jesus story, forcing the death of Jesus because that's what God wanted. Judas was a traitor, who betrayed Jesus to his political and religious enemies. He did so for his own political purposes....

This week, in honor of Easter and as the world celebrates Jesus' resurrection and the promise of life eternal, we will begin the episode with return guests Zshonette and Don from The Christ Experiment.

The purpose of the school is to help Urantia Book students develop the art of teaching and the...

We start with a fresh look at the meaning of the cross.  Was the death on the cross a required ransom, hearkening back to the olden practices of blood sacrifice?  An...

Join us this week as we conclude this study of the planetary rebellion with our fifth episode.  "Sin is never purely local in its effects. The administrative sectors of the universes are organismal; the plight of one personality must to a certain extent be shared by all. Sin, being an attitude of the person toward reality, is destined to exhibit its inherent negativistic harvest upon any and all r...

Join us this week as we tackle the planetary rebellion for the 4th week.

This week we continue our study on the Planetary Rebellion on Urantia. Last week we spent a good amount of time setting the stage for our listeners regarding exactly what brought Caligastia to the decisions that resulted in an enormous betrayal. A betrayal so great that our planet is still recovering, and will continue to do so for thousands of years. Although Michael's sojourn on urantia in the f...

200,000 years ago, Urantia was purposefully thrown into planetary rebellion. This created such challenges on this planet, that we are still recovering from this great disaster. Many tales of "The Devil" have been passed down throughout the ages and all of them have a real source, the person we have come to know as the devil, is in actuality the former Planetary Prince of Urantia: Caligastia. 67:1....
