Stephen C. Meyer - Intelligent Design
Stephen C. Meyer was on my podcast a few years ago. He had just written a book and I reached out to him to ask if he would come on my show, which he did.Stephen can be described as a scientist as well as a philosopher. He is also an avid reader of the Urantia Book. Stephen is well versed in the UB, and he smartly uses present science to substantiate and validate spiritual truths found in the Revelation.Today, Stephen has a major movie coming out. It’s called The Theory of Everything, and it proves, through scientific evidence, that is massive evidence that shows man is created by intelligent design, and further,, there is ample evidence to show life did not evolved accidentally. It is also exciting to know the Christian community is supportive of Mr. Meyer works and is involved in promoting the film worldwide. Many Salem Radio hosts (which is a Christian network) are interviewing Stephen this week , he will be across America by millions of people.Stephen's remarkable film is music to ears of a world that has given up on religion, has become spiritually blind and deaf, but still seeks for meaning in life and spiritual truth.Christians are thrilled with Stephen because he gives validation to spiritual truths through analytic practice. He asserts spiritual truths that are apparent if you just point them out, like gravity for example, which an example indication of absolute laws, not random causation.Stephene is an ambassador.This weekend millions of people will see his movie and members of the Urantia community should be thrilled to know Stephen is taking UB truths to mainstream.Here is my interview with Stephen from June 2021.

A History of Epochal Revelations
Amidst the noise and haste lies a new revelation, but can the Urantia Book save humanity during its most crucial test, or did the Revelator's have something else in mind?In this episode, we talk about the past spiritual epochs and the way our predecessors revealed new truth to the young human minds of a long ago.We talk about The One Hundred teachers (pre-Sumerian), the first epochal revelation; the second epochal age with Adam and Eve; the third epochal revelation with the Melchizedek Mission including choosing Abraham as a spiritual leader, and then there was Jesus and his bestowal mission as the 4th revelation of new truth. What is the common denominator of each epochal revelation? And should we follow the same strategy?Let's explore that strategy.

The Natural Order w/ Jayme Brock
Author Jayme Brock joins me to talk about her new book Recipe of Jesus - which examines Jesus' life as it is presented in the Urantia Book, against the backdrop of something called. "The Laws of Natural Order."According to this philosophy, Jayme explains, "When we deviate from the laws that govern the natural order of things, systems break down, and we cannot evade the consequences of our actions."It's a fascinating and uplifting discussion of why things sometimes go wrong, and how Jesus tried to show us this very truth in his life and his teachings.

Trust in Your Pilot
Mind is your ship, the Adjuster is your pilot, the human will is captain. The master of the mortal vessel should have the wisdom to trust the divine pilot to guide the ascending soul into the morontia harbors of eternal survival. Only by selfishness, slothfulness, and sinfulness can the will of man reject the guidance of such a loving pilot and eventually wreck the mortal career upon the evil shoals of rejected mercy and upon the rocks of embraced sin. With your consent, this faithful pilot will safely carry you across the barriers of time and the handicaps of space to the very source of the divine mind and on beyond, even to the Paradise Father of Adjusters (your spirit).

Who Was This Jesus?
This episide discusses Paper 21 and the mission and natures of Creator Sons, and includes several different topics all related to Jesus Christ, the Son of Man and Son of God to over a billion people on earth.What is the real significance of Jesus, who appeared on the scene two-thousand years ago and changed the entire world with his teachings?Who was Jesus before the bestowal? Why is it important to know about Christ Michael in connection with the bestowal of Jesus of Nazareth?Today, thousands are punished and even willing to face death because of their faith in him, governments today still fear him, and Western countries who have benefited from his teachings now shun him (to their own peril) in greater numbers.Let's go deep on this, because no other subject draws such dramatic distinctions than between the teachings of Christianity and the teachings of the Urantia Book, on the the story of Jesus Christ.

How Angels Help Us
Today, there are several examples around us that show how angels are helping humanity, from brokered peace deals, to cooperative efforts of disease prevention, and even education outreach. These sound like human endeavors, but how much are we being influenced by the presence of our "unseen friends" behind the scenes? According to the Urantia Book in Paper 114, they are everywhere and their range in human affairs is vast ,as 'The Most High Rules in the Kingdoms of men" is explained....

In this episode, we discover the story of what happened with Jesus on Mt. Hermon prior to his baptism. There are lessons of fatherhood, mercy, the resolution of the Lucifer rebellion, and why this may be the most important passage you will find in the entire Urantia Book.It appears everything we know and care about in the universe came down to this one moment in time. It's the story everyone needs to hear in order to understand the profound relationship God has with his children.

162
Our Sister Sphere
In this episode, we look at what life is like on our sister sphere, a world very similar to our own as described in full detail in Paper 72 from the Urantia Book. The Urantia Book informs us special permission was required by the Melchizedek who sponsored Paper 72 depicting the living conditions and standards of a race of humans who constitute a continental nation comprised of 140 million inhabitants on a “near-distant” world.If we were given this information to achieve societal advancement, to better our conditions and to improve our estate, then perhaps we should take a deeper look at how our sister sphere is coming along, since it appears we are not so different, even from our galactic cousins who also inhabit God’s wonderful creation.

The Fourth Turning - Gabriel Rymberg
We were recently joined by Center for Unity co-founder Gabriel Rymberg. Among many interesting topics we discussed, including the moral and ethical need for the Urantia Book teachings, we also look one-hundred years after the Celestials delivered the revelations, and what might be healthy next steps to spreading the good news of the Urantia Book. Is it AI, is it more social networking -- or something else entirely?Gabriel also shares news about exciting new projects coming from Center for Unity. Gabriel was contracted to translate the Urantia Book into Hebrew, and it was through this project he came to develop a relationship with Jesus (from the Life and Teachings) during the fiver years he worked on the translation.

Father's Day
Father's Day is an excellent opportunity to look at the spiritual value of fathers in mortal life, and how human fathers shape our view of the greatest father of all, the Creator Father. Prayer is the method through which we can attain a connection with our father in Paradise because he has sealed within each of us a fragment of his spirit, which provides a living personal connection to and with Him during our mortal lives.Happy Fathers Day to all of those dads who make such a profound difference to our children, in service to the Father who has made life possible.

Important Next Steps For The Revelation
UBtheNews founder and longtime Urantia Book reader Halbert Katzen shares important insights as to the next vital step for wider acceptance of the Urantia Book. We discuss mysticism, channeling, repudiation and other distractions that undermine Urantia credibility.To Halbert's credit, his UBAnnotated project (and UBtheNews) continues to challenge UB skeptics by providing evidentiary information that validates the Urantia Book assertions on anthrooplogy, geology, early human history, race, Adam and Eve's legacy and other fascinating subjects.

Prayer, Worship and Ancient Aliens
During these times it is good to reflect back at the early beginnings of man and and the first revelation gifted to us by the Sons of the Most High, and also to spend a few minutes to consider the power of prayer and worship as spiritual aids, and how connection to God is vital to our spiritual growth.

Science and The Urantia Book - With Marjorie Ray
What About the Science in the Urantia Book? Let's ask one.Scientist Marjorie Ray joins us to discuss the upcoming Urantia Foundation Scientific Symposium (November 6th, 2025) in Chicago. As a scietist and experience Urantia Book raeder, Ray discusses contemporary science and the Science of the Urantia Book. We discuss genetics, (Ray is a trained bio-chemical engineer who, amongh other accomplishments was involved in the NASA space program), astronomy, paleontology and other UB-related science. About the Guest:Marjorie Ray's area of science was biochemistry: protein/lipid interactions and protein crystallography. I worked at the University of Alabama at Birmingham for my entire scientific career. Officially Nov. 2013 but came back as a short term consultant to finish a project we had been working on for NASA. NASA got us space of Elon Musk’s first rocket that made it up to the station. Marjorie says she had been doing missions to the Space Station for a number of years before the shuttle program shut down. During that time she decided to apply to Oxford to study philosophy and started in a program there in 2017 (part-time), and now lives in the Pacific Northwest.

Andrew and Simon Peter
Continuing our series on the Apostle from paper 139, we now learn about Andrew and Simon Peter, brothers and friends of John and James Zebedee, whom introduced them to Jesus as candidates for Apostolic consideration. We learn about the characters of these two young men, how they complimented each other in life, Peter's penchant for getting in trouble, and how Andrew, or " Chief" as the twelve referred to him, became the administrative head of this unique group of men who would go on to become Ambassadors of the Kingdom.

Lessons About War from Our Unseen friends
Paper 72, section 11 teaches about life on a planet and no country not unlike our own, with a similarly checkered past, and a time line commensurate with our own present advancement.We are also informed this other off-world nation is a constitutional Republic like the United States, coexisting alongside more hostile neighboring countrries with corrollating geo-political threats similar to our own. Why would the Revelators share this story ? Could the revelators foresee a dangerous trajectory for our world and thought it wise to offer solutions gleaned from another sister sphere located somehwere in our galactic neighborhood?Nowhere else in the Urantia Book are we given such a detailed description of life of other humans beings. This should stir anyone’s imagination.It is also self-evident that our world faces grave challenges between preserving the peace, or continue suffering from more genocidal conflict. In this context, it behooves us to consider what our unseen celestial friends have to share.#Urantia#Extraterrestrial#War#military#NATO#DavidStockton#AI
