Where Two Become One

The restored Gospel restores us, to a knowledge of our true identity. Bringing clarity to the conversation on gender and identity, Doctrine and Covenants 93 reminds us who we were in the beginning, before all beginnings. the tshirt I'm wearinghttps://www.eekbin.usThe Relationship textbook📘 Paperback: https://bit.ly/theonerelationship💻 Ebook: https://amzn.to/37JmXo4Audiobook links:Spotify htt...

Welcome to “Come Follow Me! Further.”  A podcast discussing the Come Follow Me content of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints. I’m Justin Bird, a Father, an Abba 😊 I’ll be walking with you into the spirit, psyche and science of at-one-ment. At "Come Follow Me! Further" we walk the covenant path with wider eyes, following not just the manual, but the momentum of Christ’s light th...

Jared Halverson hosts the Unshaken podcast, going verse by verse through the Come Follow Me curriculum. https://www.youtube.com/@Unshaken   In his public and private efforts to create unshaken faith in the LDS community, he discusses  two themes ad nauseam: the 3 stages of creation, fall and atonement in lived experience, and the proving of contraries to find the truth, or, to find what is needed...

The adventure begins in a clockwise direction in every Hero’s Journey. The Plan of Salvation is our heroic journey, with God standing at the top of the circle. That means we exited out of His left side when we left Heaven to come to earth (along with a few others 😈). As a symbol of this, did Eve exit Adam’s left side?  To keep our first estate, we needed birth. To keep our second estate, we need...

Jared Halverson @Unshaken can't explain it. Tyler and Taylor @Scripture Central doesn't touch it. David Butler and Emily Belle Freeman @Don't Miss This! butterfly kiss it 4 years ago. Doctrine and Covenants 29 is the ONLY place in LDS cannon where God's secret formula for creation is revealed!! And this is only Come Follow Me podcast where it is explained. But sheesh! After an hour...

Have you ever been with a normally reserved friend, when they just suddenly spill all the tea? That’s what Doctrine and Covenants 29 is like. God is having a moment, and we all get to peak in. I slow and narrow the focus to moments of emotional transition, and then try to sleuth out just what exactly “the first shall be last and the last shall be first” has to do with the creation, and why God men...

Do you run to or away from stillness? Are you two close? Or is your relationship shaky? Do you literally, physically shake when there is nothing to distract you? Stillness is salvation. There is no salvation in the past or future - only in the present. And in our presence, we find God’s presence. All that are present are together. Come home to God and you're beautiful, eternal self through stillne...

It's a stereotype that Christians are judgmental. Here is my take on what judgement looks like to those who take upon themselves the name of Christ.

Is porn primarily a male problem?

Every week, millions of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints worldwide read and discuss the same chapters of scripture at the same time. Prompts in a manual titled "Come Follow Me" spark individual connections with heaven, friends and family. Paige and I aren't biblical scholars, but we are construction projects in Christ's portfolio, and we're glad to s...

Introducing Paige. She is a woman, and she's bringing both femininity and dynamism to this work of understanding masculine and feminine dynamics at scale. Still influenced heavily by Byron Katie, we launch from Katie's statement that "the world is the reflection of the mind." Paige exposes my lingering bitterness from divorce, fields my big bold man jokes adeptly, and yawns while...

I'm chatting with my friend, Paige, and she says she has a sore spot in her relationship with her 10 yo son. We do Byron Katie's work together, and the soreness turns to silliness. Can you hear your own sore spot with a loved one in this dialoge? You can also turn yours to laughter with The Work. Byron Katie has come to end suffering. You can find her @ thework.com Get affordable, continuo...

I share some lyrics in my church culture with which I no longer connect, now that I am connected with Christ and I know how that feels and how it is sustained. Giving credit where credit is due is critical to sustainable relationships. Accounting isn't just for business, and in the business of discipleship in the Church of Jesus Christ, this bit of accounting is essential to understand and get...

The Grand Design can be visualized a number of ways. One of those ways is the torus. In this episode, YouTuber Hypha helps us see the torus all around us, and as us, while I show its congruence with the doctrine and purposes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHlRvwA_kGU&t=19s quotes from Hypha: "Everything in the universe is one single thi...

As I was singing Hymn 183 today, I thought, “Yes, we take the symbols of flesh and blood in remembrance of Christ’s suffering. But that just completes the circle, which began when He came to earth and went to the cross in remembrance of our suffering. God said, “who will go down to this earth, aka hell, to learn what I know, so that you can become like Me?” And a bunch of us raised our hands. And...

The veil is Christ's flesh. But it is also flesh itself, and the mother's body, making Christ the Divine Feminine.
