What Do You Intend Podcast

In this season opener, Jem and Dustin begin their investigation into one of the most overlooked words in all of Scripture: Raqia , commonly translated as Firmament . Why did ancient translators render the word as Stereoma and Firmamentum , while many modern translations now prefer Expanse ? Did the Hebrew text change, or did our assumptions change? Together, they explore the origins of the Septuag...

In this episode, Jem and Dustin explore how Hollywood, cultural narratives, and modern influence shape the way we think about relationships, marriage, and identity. From subtle messaging in entertainment to deeper questions around deception, truth, and systems like NASA , this conversation uncovers how these patterns may be influencing everyday life more than people realize. What if the tension in...

Why does Genesis call every day “good” — except Day 2? In this episode, Jem and Dustin examine the first divisions in creation and ask whether contrast itself was part of God’s design for freedom. Drawing from Scripture, philosophical traditions, and reflections on love and marriage, they explore whether the separation of light and darkness laid the foundation for choice long before the Fall. If l...

After years of exploring mysticism, physics, evolutionary theory, and alternative narratives, Jem kept running into the same three questions: Where did this begin? Who defines what’s real? Why does meaning feel binding? She shares why evidence wasn’t the real obstacle — authority was — and why belief became less about religion and more about bending toward truth.

In Genesis 1:11–12, God doesn’t simply create plants. He speaks, and the earth responds. In this episode, Jem and Dustin slow down and examine what Scripture is actually claiming about reality itself. Is matter passive, or is it designed to respond? What does “good” mean before sin ever appears? And what does creation’s obedience reveal about intention, order, and accountability? Together, they ex...

In this episode of What Do You Intend? , Jem and Dustin step into the ancient world to explore how different civilizations understood the origin of reality — and why Genesis stands apart. Rather than treating creation as a myth competing with other myths, this conversation examines the shared assumptions behind Babylonian, Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Chinese, and other ancient cosmologies, many of whi...

Freedom is often mistaken for relief, distraction, or permission. This episode confronts the difference between real freedom and escape, and asks what we’re actually choosing when nothing in our lives truly changes. Are we free or are we deep in bondage?

Big Bang Belief vs. Biblical Cosmology. In this debate-style episode, Jem and Dustin explore whether the Big Bang is an observed scientific fact or an interpretive origin story. They examine redshift, cosmic radiation, parallax, and other common arguments, asking where observation ends and assumption begins. This episode isn’t about denying science. It’s about questioning origins, frameworks, and...

In this episode, Jem and Dustin slow down in Genesis 1:5–8 and ask a question most people never think to ask: Who decided when a day begins? Genesis presents a dusk-to-dusk rhythm rooted in God’s design, yet modern life runs on a midnight-to-midnight clock. Was that shift about efficiency, or something deeper? Together, they explore the waters of Genesis, the meaning of the firmament, why the seco...

In this episode of Finding God Together , Jem and Dustin continue their careful walk through Genesis, slowing down in Day Two of creation to explore the firmament, the dividing of the waters above and below, and the boundaries God establishes before life unfolds. They examine the ancient Hebrew word raqia , often translated as “firmament” or “expanse,” and why modern translations can subtly shift...

Was God creating sunlight in Genesis 1 — or revealing something far deeper? In this episode of Finding God Together , Jem and Dustin slow down and examine Genesis 1:3–1:5, questioning what the “light” really was before the sun ever existed. By looking at the original Hebrew language and the symbolic way the early biblical world communicated, they explore how Scripture reveals God’s character throu...

In this episode Jem & Dustin, go back to the beginning together. Before the doctrines, before the noise, before the narratives we inherited without questioning. We open Genesis 1 together and talk through what we’ve discovered, what we’ve wrestled with, and how God pulled us out of confusion and into clarity. We talk about why the Big Bang collapses under the weight of Scripture, why gap theor...

In Part 2 of the liver series, we uncover the lifelong congestion shaping today’s emotional, hormonal, and spiritual instability. This episode traces how the body becomes overwhelmed long before adulthood ever begins — starting with early childhood exposures, processed food, fragrances, plastics, endocrine disruptors, stress chemistry, and the silent thickening of bile that most people never notic...

For decades, fatigue, anxiety, hormone chaos, brain fog, and inflammation have been treated like separate, mysterious disorders. But what if the most common modern symptoms — the ones everyone just calls “normal life” — all trace back to a single organ? In this episode, Jem pulls back the curtain on the liver. Not the cartoon version you learned about in school. The real one — the control center o...

Now that the occult and pagan roots are exposed, what do we do with it? Jem and Dustin share their experiences and offer biblical clarity on how to stand apart, protect your home, and guide your children in a culture that celebrates what God rejects.

A fearless deep dive into the truth behind Halloween’s symbols, rituals, and spiritual origins. From child sacrifice to mirror scrying to the ancient 3-night festival the world still participates in without knowing. Illumination without sensationalism. Truth without compromise. WARNING: Content is not suitable for children and some teenagers

This is not a cute seasonal chat about costumes and candy. This is an exposé. In Part 1, Jem peels back the mask of Halloween and trace it back to its original roots: Samhain, the sun-god calendar, the Druids, divination rites, sacrificial rituals, and the spiritual patterns still embedded in the date itself. This isn’t about fear or superstition. It’s about clarity, discernment, and understanding...

We all worship something. Maybe it’s caffeine, sugar, alcohol, social media, or just the next excuse to “unwind.” But what if the very things we turn to for relief are the altars we’ve built to our own exhaustion? In this episode of What Do You Intend, Jem gets blunt about the hidden forms of worship shaping our biology, our beliefs, and our daily lives. She breaks down how your body follows what...

The war on fat never ended, it just changed names. In this podcast, Jem unpacks the modern seed-oil scare and exposes how fear, not food, became the real toxin. From Ancel Keys to coconut-oil obessesion, from keto myths to “biohacking,” this episode reveals how the industry profits by keeping you afraid of your own design. You’ll learn the real story behind fat metabolism, oxidation, and why polyu...

What if the story of creation we were taught isn’t the story that was written? In this opening episode of What Do You Intend? , Jem goes back to the very first verse of Scripture, “B’reshit bara Elohim et ha-shamayim ve’et ha-aretz.” We unpack what those Hebrew words really mean and how modern science, philosophy, and culture have built a new origin story that quietly replaced the Creator with cha...

In this powerful episode, Jem and Dustin come together to share their journey. They didn’t begin their podcast from a place of certainty—they began with questions. From the start of their relationship, they were searching for truth. That search led them down many paths: alternative ideas, new age teachings, history rabbit holes, and even conspiracy claims. They were looking everywhere. But the dee...

In this episode of What Do You Intend? , Jem takes a hard look at the storm surrounding Charlie Kirk’s death and what the media doesn’t want you to see. Was it just another headline, or was it staged distraction while deeper moves were being made? We trace the timeline: Kirk’s sudden shift away from lockstep Israel support, the escalation of war in Gaza, and the quiet stalling of the Epstein files...

We’ve turned self-love into an altar of approval—offering sacrifice after sacrifice, and yet never satisfied. Our culture teaches us to dress for attention, live for validation, and measure worth by how others respond. But that altar never gives back. God calls us to freedom, not bondage. The cross was already enough. In this episode, we confront the thin line between self-respect and self-idolatr...

In this episode of What Do You Intend , I share the story of how my search for truth began with nutrition — and how that journey led me to discover Biomolecular Nutrition Therapy (BNT). I talk about years of struggling with PCOS, thyroid issues, blood sugar crashes, and failed diets, and how I finally realized that pushing harder — especially with fitness — was making me worse, not better. I expla...

What happens when you start questioning everything you believed about health, truth, and the world around you? In this first episode of What Do You Intend , Jem shares how the podcast began: not as a platform, but as a whisper. A journey that started with healing the body, and ended up uncovering a much deeper spiritual reality. You’ll hear the story of how she and her husband Dustin started to wa...
