  • Covenant Ceremonies | House of Learning | Lesson 4

    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.

  • Hypnotherapy & Deep Repentance: Healing the Root Beliefs Behind Shame, Anxiety, and Addiction, with Nelson Whiting

    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.

  • Symbolism + Interpretation | House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple | Lesson 2

    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.

    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.

  • Paradigm Shifts | House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple | Lesson 1

    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.

  • Living the Mysteries: An Introduction to True Hidden Wisdom

    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.

  • The Word of God, by Humans: Contextualizing the Bible and Tips for Study

    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.

    02:40 – 04:00 | Why the Old Testament creates tension and confusion

    04:00 – 06:45 | Personal discernment and direct relationship with God

    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
