    In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, philosopher Jerry L. Martin is joined by Abigail L. Rosenthal for an intimate conversation about divine encounters, spiritual awakening, and what it means to experience a radically personal God.

    Drawing from Jerry’s new book Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the discussion explores how spiritual truth is not one-size-fits-all and why each individual’s connection to the divine can look entirely unique.

    Jerry reflects on being called to tell God’s story across different cultures and religious traditions, while Abigail shares a powerful mystical experience that sustained her through a long and painful chapter in her life.

    Together, they discuss Jewish philosophy, personal spirituality, the rejection of Original Sin, and how trusting one’s inner spiritual compass can lead to deep transformation.

    This episode speaks directly to seekers, skeptics, and anyone exploring their own spiritual path. It is a thoughtful and emotional journey into faith and doubt, divine presence, mystical experience, and the call to live with spiritual purpose.

  • 236. From God to Jerry To You- How To Hear God’s Call In Your Own Life
    Jun 19 2025

    Questions? Comments? Text Us!

    In this episode of From God To Jerry To You, we explore the moment that changed everything: when Jerry heard God's voice for the first time. What began as a private prayer became a divine calling—“Tell My Story.”

    But what does that mean in a world of many religions, traditions, and truths?

    Jerry shares how God's message was not confined to one faith or one people, but revealed in different ways across history and cultures.

    From ancient Israel to India, from sacred texts to personal moments of clarity, divine Reality calls to each of us uniquely.

    Can we hear that call in our own lives? What does it mean to be part of God's story today?

    This episode invites you to reflect on your own path and how to recognize your most intimate access to the divine.

    Romantic Awakening, Divine Listening, and the Inner Self

    What does it mean to fall in love, not just with a person, but with the mystery of life itself?

    In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of What's On Our Mind, Jerry and Scott reflect on the deep emotional and spiritual themes raised in recent episodes and discuss two new series: Jerry and Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, and What's Your Spiritual Story?

    From romantic love and divine connection to shadow work and self-integration, they explore how transformation often begins with listening—really listening—to our hearts, our partners, and the quiet whisper of God.

    Scott shares personal growth from theater, marriage, and divine interruptions. Jerry opens up about his "real conversion" which was not to religion, but to love itself.

    Together, they trace the difference between merging and mutuality, between fantasy and devotion, and between reaction and responsibility.

    This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked: Can I really be known, and loved, as a whole person?
