In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore ancient covenant ceremonies and what covenants truly meant in biblical and Israelite culture — far beyond the modern idea of a simple two-way promise. Using the story of David and Jonathan as a primary archetype, this lesson reveals how ancient covenants involved the merging of identity, shared inheritance, protection, loyalty, sacrifice, and sacred relationship. These covenant patterns illuminate how God relates to humanity and what it means to enter a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. You’ll learn: ✨ Why ancient covenants were relational, not contractual  ✨ How covenant ceremonies symbolized shared identity, strength, and inheritance  ✨ The spiritual meaning of robes, weapons, and sacred exchanges  ✨ How covenant blood symbolism points to Christ’s atonement  ✨ Why God identifies Himself as One who keeps covenant and shows mercy  ✨ How covenant blessings extend across generations  ✨ What covenant faithfulness, justice, and mercy look like in real life This episode also explores the story of the Gibeonites, the seriousness of covenant obligations, and how God honors covenant relationships even across centuries. Viewers are invited to reconsider temple covenants as sacred relationships of transformation rather than mere ritual compliance.  If you’ve ever wondered what temple covenants truly mean, how God relates to covenant partners, or how ancient practices illuminate modern worship, this lesson provides essential spiritual foundations. 🌿 This episode is part of a 17-week course releasing weekly on YouTube.  🌿 For guided reflection, journaling tools, deeper study resources, and community discussion, explore the Hidden Wisdom app (link below). ⚠️ This content reflects personal spiritual study and interpretation.

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan sits down with Nelson Whiting—bestselling author of Your Problem Isn’t Pornography, certified clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of No Limits Hypnotherapy—for a grounded, expansive conversation about hypnotherapy as a form of deep repentance: getting beneath behavior to the belief systems that drive shame cycles, anxiety, compulsions, and spiritual disconnection. Nelson explains how real change happens when the conscious and subconscious mind come into agreement, why “time heals” is often a myth, and how prayer, meditation, and clinical hypnosis can help quiet survival mode, restore inner safety, and create rapid transformation through new perspective and new choices. They explore the spiritual implications of inner work, the role of agency, and why healing often requires moving from self-criticism into self-love—so you can reconnect with God, truth, and your highest identity. You’ll also hear discussion on spiritual discernment (including “false spirits”), the balance of masculine and feminine within healing, and a powerful closing reflection on being “born again” as a spiritual rebirth—held in what Meghan calls the cosmic womb.

In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore how to interpret temple symbols and why symbolic language is central to spiritual growth, revelation, and scripture study. This lesson introduces a foundational principle of temple worship: symbols are layered, multidimensional, and designed to teach us throughout our entire lifetime. Rather than limiting symbols to one fixed meaning, viewers are invited to approach temple imagery, scripture, and sacred ritual with spiritual curiosity, humility, and discernment. You’ll learn: ✨ Why all scripture can be viewed as temple text  ✨ How symbols operate on micro and macro levels of meaning  ✨ Why spiritual stagnation happens when symbols are interpreted too narrowly  ✨ Multiple symbolic interpretations of the veil — including Christ, creation, protection, unbelief, and the divine feminine  ✨ How to let the Spirit expand your understanding over time  ✨ Practical ways to study and apply symbolism in your personal worship and scripture study This episode also explores examples from Doctrine & Covenants 109, Hebrews 10, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Book of Mormon, showing how temple symbolism weaves throughout sacred text. If you’ve ever felt that the temple holds deeper meaning than you were taught — or if you desire a more experiential relationship with God — this lesson offers tools to begin seeing with spiritual eyes. 🌿 New episodes release weekly as part of this 17-part course.  🌿 For reflection tools, guided study, journaling, and community conversations, explore the Hidden Wisdom app (link below). ⚠️ This content reflects personal spiritual study and interpretation.

In this profound episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner is joined by Nekesha Burrell, who shares how her near-death experience (NDE) transformed her relationship with God, fear, and consciousness itself. Raised in a strict Christian environment and exposed to multiple faith traditions, Nekesha describes the journey from religious fear and survival mode into direct knowing of God beyond limitation. She explores breath as consciousness, intuition as divine guidance, and why peace—not fear—is the true signal of alignment with God. Together, Meghan and Nekesha discuss religious conditioning, spiritual gifts, embodiment, feminine wisdom, emotional regulation, and why spiritual evolution is not rebellion—but expansion. This episode invites listeners to release fear-based faith, trust their inner knowing, and experience God as an ever-expanding presence rather than a confined doctrine. 00:00 – 01:45 | Welcome and introduction to Nekesha Burrell01:45 – 03:35 | Nekesha describes life before her NDE: fear, survival mode, and hypervigilance03:35 – 06:05 | Growing up Christian across many denominations and faith traditions06:05 – 08:20 | Fear of God, fear of hell, and religious judgment in childhood08:20 – 09:55 | “I wasn’t rebelling—I was evolving”: leaving limitation, not God09:55 – 12:40 | Graduating from believing in God to knowing God12:40 – 14:55 | God as an ocean, humans as vessels — the water bottle analogy14:55 – 17:15 | Intuition, peace, and living without spiritual gatekeepers17:15 – 20:10 | Trusting God through chaos: waves, surrender, and fear20:10 – 22:30 | God doesn’t choose sides; humans are meant to add light22:30 – 25:15 | Breath as consciousness and spiritual responsibility25:15 – 27:40 | “We practice dying every night”: sleep as surrender27:40 – 29:50 | Nekesha’s NDE: creation space, manifestation, and returning to the body29:50 – 32:20 | “I am not a body with a soul—I am a soul in a body”32:20 – 34:20 | Expansiveness of the soul and intuitive nudges34:20 – 36:20 | Spiritual gifts, fear of deception, and religious conditioning36:20 – 38:40 | How fear blocks spiritual perception38:40 – 42:15 | Mind vs body: emotions as truth signals42:15 – 45:00 | Healing trauma through feeling, choice, and self-love45:00 – 47:10 | Boundaries, truth-telling, and reclaiming personal power47:10 – 49:40 | Feminine wisdom, intuition, and embodiment49:40 – 52:15 | Choosing peace over fear and expanding without g Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

In this first episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen introduce five powerful paradigm shifts that radically transform how we understand temple worship, spiritual growth, and our relationship with Jesus Christ. This episode explores: ✨ Why you are literally meant to become the temple of God ✨ How the temple endowment is not historical reenactment, but a symbolic map of your own spiritual journey ✨ Why ordinances are symbolic of real spiritual experiences of grace and transformation ✨ How every element of the temple ultimately testifies of Christ ✨ The profound possibility of returning to the presence of Jesus Christ in mortality Rather than approaching the temple as a checklist of religious compliance, this course invites you into a living, experiential relationship with God — where the temple becomes a blueprint for spiritual maturity, identity, embodiment, and divine intimacy. If you’ve ever felt that the temple holds deeper meaning than you were taught… If you desire a more personal relationship with Christ… If you are ready to engage scripture and symbolism with spiritual discernment… This series is for you.

This conversation bridges Christianity, Eastern wisdom, esoteric theology, and personal revelation, inviting listeners to move beyond dogma and into direct knowing.

In this first episode of Hidden Wisdom for 2026, Meghan introduces the core framework behind the podcast’s direction: living the mysteries. Drawing from ancient traditions, Christian mysticism, symbolism, archetype, and scripture, this episode explains the difference between exoteric religion and esoteric wisdom, and why both are essential for true spiritual maturity. Meghan explores the soul’s journey as a process of repeated death and rebirth, the movement from head knowledge to embodied wisdom, and the transformation that occurs when inner false identities are released. This episode addresses spiritual development, deconstruction, shadow work, repentance, grace, and theosis, all framed within a Christ-centered path. Listeners are invited to develop “eyes to see,” reclaim personal spiritual authority, and understand how religion can prepare us for deeper, inward communion with God rather than replace it. This foundational episode sets the tone for Hidden Wisdom in 2026 and offers a grounded, Christ-rooted approach to esoteric spirituality, divine law, and living a transformed life.

In this extended episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner offers a courageous and deeply grounded exploration of what it truly means to call the Bible “the Word of God.” Drawing from history, theology, mysticism, and personal discernment, Meghan invites listeners to approach scripture—especially the Old Testament—not as an inerrant divine transcript, but as a profoundly human record of humanity wrestling with God. This episode examines biblical authorship, political and cultural influences, polytheism in ancient Israel, the suppression of the divine feminine, and the role of ego, power, and hierarchy in shaping scripture. Meghan introduces the four levels of Hebrew interpretation, demonstrates how symbolic and mystical readings restore depth and coherence, and reframes troubling biblical narratives as invitations to inner transformation rather than external obedience. Ultimately, this episode is a call to spiritual maturity: to trust Christ, cultivate discernment, and allow God—not institutions—to be your primary tutor. For anyone studying the Bible this year, navigating faith transitions, or seeking a lived experience of the Divine beyond fear, this conversation offers clarity, permission, and profound hope. 00:00 – 02:40 | Introduction and why this topic matters now 02:40 – 04:00 | Why the Old Testament creates tension and confusion 04:00 – 06:45 | Personal discernment and direct relationship with God 06:45 – 09:45 | Projection, ego, and humans creating God in their image 09:45 – 12:45 | The Bible as a human record—not divine dictation 12:45 – 15:30 | Violence, fear, and misattributed divine commands 15:30 – 18:15 | Ancient Israel’s polytheism and the divine council 18:15 – 21:40 | Spiritual evolution and changing views of God 21:40 – 24:45 | Political power, Rome, and biblical curation 24:45 – 27:30 | Loss of feminine wisdom and oral tradition 27:30 – 30:45 | Asherah, goddess suppression, and missing feminine imagery 30:45 – 34:15 | Excluded texts and erased mystical traditions 34:15 – 37:00 | Four levels of Hebrew interpretation 37:00 – 40:15 | Symbolism as the language of scripture 40:15 – 43:00 | Cain and Abel as inner allegory 43:00 – 46:30 | Discernment, humility, and spiritual maturity 46:30 – 50:45 | Translation bias and priesthood hierarchy 50:45 – 55:30 | Christ revealing the true character of God Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

In this final episode of 2025, Meghan reflects on her four-year journey through second coming prophecy, symbolism, and the rediscovery of the Divine Feminine. What began as a study of last-days events has evolved into a deeper realization: Zion’s redemption and the rise of the Divine Feminine are inseparable. Drawing from LDS canon, apocryphal texts like The Gospel of the Beloved Companion, ancient traditions, temple symbolism, and universal archetypes, Meghan shows how the feminine principles of intuition, relationship, heart-centered wisdom, and spiritual authority have always been woven into prophecy. She explores Mary Magdalene as “the tower,” Zion as the bride, the birthing symbolism of the new heaven and new earth, and the ways masculine and feminine partnership create the spiritual maturity required for Christ’s return. This episode dives deep into:  • the parable of the tower  • the true meaning of Magdalene  • the feminine role in death, rebirth, and the millennium  • Zion as a feminine state of being  • the partnership of masculine and feminine energies  • global prophetic traditions pointing to feminine renewal A powerful close to the year and an invitation to reclaim the feminine in your own spiritual path.

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner sits down with Steve Pynakker, creator of Mormon Book Reviews and one of the most unique bridge-builders in the religious landscape. Steve shares his lifelong fascination with the Restoration, his journey through evangelical Christianity, atheism, and back into a reconstructed faith, and the spiritual insights he’s gained across traditions. Together, Meghan and Steve explore the feminine and masculine elements of religion, personal revelation, the role of mystical experience, faith crises, and why genuine connection with God often requires stepping outside institutional boundaries. They dive into the tension between apologetics and Christlike love, the dangers of zeal without compassion, and the shared work of healing religious division.
