• 253. Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue: Romantic Love and Divine Revelation: When Trust Becomes a Spiritual Calling

  Questions? Comments? Text Us!When can love—and even pain—become a form of revelation?In this powerful dialogue, Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal trace the mysterious link between romantic love, moral conscience, and divine communication. Abigail shares two defining experiences of spiritual discernment: a moral act that cost her a lifelong family bond, and the unexpected moment she realized she was falling in love. Both called for the same inner movement—trusting what had her name on it.Jerry reflects on his own “Why me?” experience of revelation, exploring how trust bridges the human and divine, and how moral courage and love alike can summon the soul toward its destiny. Together, they ask: How do we recognize the voice of God when it speaks through ordinary life? When is trust not blind, but a sacred form of clarity?Drawing on philosophy and lived experience—from Aristotle and Husserl to the dream world of conscience—Jerry and Abigail reveal that divine communication doesn’t always arrive in thunder. Sometimes, it whispers through the courage to act, or the surrender to love.This episode invites you into a deeply human and spiritual conversation—where reason and revelation meet the heart.#godanautobiographythepodcast #jerryandabigailanintimatedialogue #spiritualdiscernment #divinerevelation #truecalling #spiritualgrowth #philosophyandfaith #moralcourage #spiritualpodcastRelated Content:252.

• 250. Special Episode: Suffering, Growth & Divine Love | Celebrating 250 Episodes

  Questions? Comments? Text Us!Five years. 250 episodes. Countless stories of faith, struggle, and discovery.This milestone episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast is a deep reflection on what it means to grow spiritually through suffering, to find joy again, and to experience divine love as a personal reality.In this special episode, Scott, Jerry, Abigail, Laura, and Mandi come together to look back on the last five years and explore how this project has transformed each of them.You’ll hear moments of vulnerability, laughter, and insight as we talk about:Suffering and the Law of Growth – Jerry shares God’s teaching that suffering is not meaningless but the very path by which we grow. He describes the moment he realized that God suffers with us — that when we feel pain, God says “ouch” too.A God Who Feels With Us – Scott reflects on his acting career and the way embodying pain on stage helped him understand the personal God who is fully present in our lives.Breaking Free From Spiritual Abuse – Mandi opens up about growing up in a controlling family, being told belief in God was foolish, and finally finding the courage to pray. Her first prayer was a desperate request for a job with meaning — and it was answered, leading her to this project.Love That Disrupts and Heals – Abigail tells the story of falling in love with Jerry, trying to remain detached, and eventually surrendering to a love that upended her carefully ordered life — and changed it forever.Wisdom Across Generations – Laura reflects on how her role has evolved over the years and how focusing on her own spiritual growth allows her to comfort and encourage others. Together, the team discusses how this project invites listeners into the New Axial Age — a time when wisdom from all spiritual traditions is brought together to illuminate a richer, more connected path forward.Start at the Beginning: Listen to Episode 1 to hear the complete dramatic adaptation of God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher.Read the Book: Get your copy at Amazon or godanautobiography.com.Share Your Story: Email us at [email protected] — we’d love to hear your spiritual story and may feature it on a future episode.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What’s Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What’s On Our MiShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

• 249. Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – The Summons of Love and Life’s True Calling

  Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this wide-ranging conversation, Jerry and Abigail pick up where last week’s episode left off, turning from the idea of swadharma — one’s unique calling — to how that calling actually plays out in a real life.Jerry reflects on the Bhagavad Gita’s teaching that it is better to follow your own duty, even imperfectly, than to live someone else’s well. Abigail shares what it feels like when a fight “has her name on it,” telling the story of the battle to save Brooklyn College’s core curriculum and how that reluctant fight brought Jerry into her life.They discuss the courage it takes to give up security for meaning, Jerry’s choice to twice walk away from tenure, and the role prayer plays in guiding his decisions. Abigail recalls a formative past-life memory of her death in 1930s Germany and how it shaped her lifelong commitment to confronting evil, writing about the nature of evil, and standing up against antisemitism.The conversation turns to the “summons of love,” romance as co-constitutive with divine calling, and the serious work of keeping the romantic quest alive over a lifetime. Abigail explores the challenges of being a woman philosopher, the tension between femininity and academic culture, the dangers of free love, and the need for modesty and discernment.Together they hold love, moral courage, and spiritual purpose in dialogue, seeking a way to live fully in history — with God as partner.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What’s Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What’s On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What’s On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your story: [email protected] Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube
