“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist.

GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast
Questions? Comments? Text Us! What if God had another side? In this special revisit of Episode 26, Zoroaster Sees God’s Other Side , we explore one of the most profound moments in God: An Autobiography- a divine encounter that reshaped both Zoroaster’s understanding of the cosmos and God's own self-awareness. Zoroaster, the ancient Persian prophet, perceived not just divine light, but divine struggle. In this remarkable dialogue, God shares how this revelation was a growth experience for Him, as He unveiled His dual nature to one of His earliest great prophets. God candidly addresses the existence of evil, not only in the world, but within Himself. Through Zoroaster’s story, the problem of evil becomes a spiritual revelation: God is not a static perfection, but a being evolving toward wholeness. The universe is shown to be a shared spiritual journey, where even chaos plays a role in the unfolding of sacred order. 🎧 Listen as Jerry and the Voice of God reflect on divine complexity, the ethical weight of truth, and the radical spirituality of Zoroaster’s insight. This conversation with God explores: The spiritual structure of the Old Religion The cosmic order of Asha and the sacred role of sacrifice Why the spoken word is sacred Zoroaster's visions of both divine light and divine darkness God's explanation of the inner struggle between good and evil, even within Himself Listen as Jerry and the Voice of God reflect on divine complexity, the ethical weight of truth, and the radical spirituality of Zoroaster’s insight.

GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast
Questions? Comments? Text Us! Jerry shares his fascinating revelations during prayer concerning the prophet Zoroaster’s profound encounter with the divine. Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest known monotheistic religions, but few know its rich history—largely preserved through oral tradition—that allows us to understand what God was communicating to Zoroaster through the cosmic battle between good and evil. In this powerful narrative, we’re introduced to the figure of Ahura Mazda—the embodiment of wisdom and goodness—and His counterpart, the Hostile Spirit, often perceived as God's “evil twin.” This story dives into the eternal struggle between light and darkness, a central theme in Zoroastrian belief and one still deeply relevant to the modern spiritual seeker. Join us as we explore these ancient revelations and how they continue to echo in our understanding of the divine, the nature of evil, and the choices our souls are called to make.

GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast
Questions? Comments? Text Us! Have you ever wondered what it really means to call out to God- and what it feels like when something answers? In this moving episode of What’s On Your Mind , we explore Janet's spiritual awakening, which began with a simple desire to know who Jesus really was and unfolded into moments of inner instruction, prophetic clarity, and self-discovery. She offers five profound lessons about spiritual discernment, obedience, and the subtleties of hearing God's voice-insights that speak directly to anyone walking a nontraditional spiritual path. Sandy responds to Janet with a deeply personal story of her own- a quiet moment of prayer where she asked God to show up... and was met with a radiant, inner warmth that felt like a hug from the divine. Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon reflect on these stories with care, honesty, and philosophical depth. Together, they explore how we can distinguish divine inspiration from ego or illusion, and how “calling out to God” is not just a religious act- but a deeply human one. Whether you’ve had mystical experiences, questioned your sanity in moments of spiritual insight, or are simply curious about how the divine shows up in real life, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate conversation for seekers of all kinds. We talk about: Hearing inner guidance and not knowing if it’s “real” The delicate line between divine insight and wishful thinking Why calling out is essential to divine relationship How discernment and self-trust evolve over time The difference between ego-driven action and God-led intuition Love as God’s truest name If you're exploring faith in a way that doesn’t fit into traditional boxes, this conversation is for you. It’s not about having the right answers- it’s about staying open. ✨ Have a story of your own? Email us at questions@godanautobiography.com.

1 223. The Life Wisdom Project | From Ritual to Reason: A Journey from Plato to Levinas | Special Guest: Dr. Michael Poliakoff 34:34
Questions? Comments? Text Us! How do rituals, traditions, and philosophical reasoning shape our understanding of the divine and the human experience? In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast , Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Michael Poliakoff explore the evolution of thought and tradition from ancient Jewish practices and Egyptian influences to the philosophical insights of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, and Emmanuel Levinas. The conversation examines how humanity has sought wisdom across cultures and eras—from the Torah’s laws to Aristotelian virtue, Confucian ethics, and Levinas’ concept of “the other.” How do ritual and habit shape moral understanding? And what happens when tradition gives way to reason? Key Themes in This Episode: Ritual and Ethical Evolution – From Jewish law and Confucian rites to Aristotle’s philosophy of virtue Jonah and Nineveh: God’s Call Beyond Borders – What it means to be “chosen” and how divine purpose extends beyond any single tradition Levinas and the Ethics of the Other – How encountering another person transforms our understanding of self and morality The Power of Tradition in Daily Life – From religious rituals to simple habits, how they shape human interaction and spirituality Breaking Down Borders: Ancient Thought and Modern Philosophy – How wisdom from across cultures connects in the search for meaning This episode presents a rare exploration of how ritual and reason interact —not just in religious practice, but in the very fabric of human thought.

Questions? Comments? Text Us! Does God test us? What does obedience to God really mean? In this episode of What's On Our Mind , Scott Langdon and Dr. Jerry L. Martin dive deep into the complex and often misunderstood concepts of obedience, trust, and free will in our relationship with God. Exploring the story of Abraham and Isaac, they discuss whether obedience is simply following commands or if it is something much deeper- a spiritual transformation that brings us into alignment with God’s will. Is faith about blind submission, or is it a partnership with the Divine? Through thought-provoking analogies of music, dance, and orchestration, Scott and Jerry reveal how obedience isn’t about rigid control but about harmonizing with God’s presence in our lives. They also uncover God’s ultimate desire- not to demand unquestioning obedience, but to lead us toward fulfillment, awakening, and divine partnership. Join us as we break down misconceptions about faith, question whether God truly “tests” us, and discuss how to discern God’s voice in our lives.

Questions? Comments? Text Us! In this episode, we revisit Abraham’s powerful story and its deeper meaning in God's relationship with humanity. Why could Abraham hear and obey God so completely? What does his unwavering faith reveal about true obedience and trust in divine will? Jerry Martin explores Abraham's test, questioning whether such an extreme command could truly come from God. The Voice of God explains the necessity of absolute surrender, divine authority, and the spiritual transformation it brings. What does Abraham’s response to God teach us about faith, submission, and moral dilemmas in the Bible? We also examine Abraham’s contrasting responses—his silent obedience with Isaac versus his bold plea for Sodom. Why did Abraham challenge God’s judgment over Sodom but not question His command to sacrifice his son? Does God evolve through human interaction? Can divine commands be questioned, or is faith about complete submission? This thought-provoking discussion challenges traditional views on faith, obedience, and divine justice. We delve into the meaning of divine obedience, the nature of God's test of faith, and whether Abraham was a real person or a symbolic figure in religious history. Join us for this profound journey into one of the Bible’s most debated stories, exploring God’s voice and divine communication, the spiritual lessons from Abraham’s faith, and the complexity of obedience and morality in the Old Testament.

GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast
Questions? Comments? Text Us! In this thought-provoking episode, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon explore profound spiritual and philosophical questions that strike at the heart of human existence. What is the purpose of life? How do we find meaning in our daily experiences? And what does it mean to truly fall in love with God? Drawing on Jerry’s divine conversations detailed in God: An Autobiography , they discuss the concept of a non-teleological approach to life, where meaning lies in the "doing" rather than achieving an ultimate goal. Discover how God’s relationship with humanity evolves through cultures, from Ancient Israel to modern interpretations of love, harmony, and growth. This episode examines profound topics, including divine encounters, God’s omnisubjectivity—engaging with all human stories—and the intimate nature of connecting with God in everyday life. It invites listeners to reflect on spiritual growth, the challenges of moral dilemmas, and the larger questions of existence. Through thoughtful dialogue, the episode illuminates the universe as a great act of love and explores how God participates in and grows alongside creation.

1 213. The Life Wisdom Project | Life’s Meaning: Love, Connection, and the Vertical-Horizontal Path | Special Guest: Dr. Richard Oxenberg 39:00
Questions? Comments? Text Us! God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, welcomes philosopher and returning guest Dr. Richard Oxenberg in this thought-provoking Life Wisdom Project. The two explore what it means to “come up for air” when asking life’s deeper questions: how everyday tasks like grocery shopping or filling the gas tank relate to profound concepts of purpose and spiritual wisdom. Drawing on Aristotle’s eudaimonia, Jerry and Richard discuss the distinction between intrinsic and instrumental value, and how recognizing love- whether romantic, familial, or communal- can connect our horizontal and vertical dimensions of existence. They also examine the paradox of God as both One and Many, highlighting the yearning for oneness at the heart of all religious traditions. From insights on humility and community to practical ways of weaving prayerful intentionality into our daily routines, this enriching conversation offers guidance for anyone seeking deeper meaning and life wisdom in a diverse and interconnected world.
