The Marriage Institution is waning in the West. The ramifications of this trend poses a serious threat to civilization, so much so the Urantia Book dedicates several papers to this subject.

In this episode, we explore what Papers 82, 83 and 84 have to say about marriage and why it is an institution worth preserving.

We discuss Paper 64 and the history of the migration of the Sangik Races, the first colored peoples of earth and why the revelators say colored races are important to human evolution.

Plus, a look at upcoming Urantia events, and some commentary on a recent article by Byron Belitsos - how do we move the Urantia Book into mainstream at a time when the people of earth could really benefit from revealed truth?

The Urantia Book tells us about Ratta, the woman who married the first son of Adam, and we learn about her contributions to the world some 35 thousand years ago during the early days of the spread of the Adamites.

It's a wonderful story of a person whom time has forgotten, but whose journey and impact is explored on the pages of the Urantia revelation.

In this brief year-end send off, I want to give thought to our progress in spreading the Urantia Revelation to the world. Despite its spiritual importance, there is much work to do, and we can already see in some quarters how the revelation is changing the tune of Christian thought.

Plus, how the truths of Urantia may infuse modern Christianity with a new and greater purpose: the rehabiliation of an entire world!

In this episode, I offer some ideas on how to share the truth-concepts in the Urantia Book, and ways to avoid the dangers of over-revelation - going too fast.

Plus, I want to talk about how the book came to be, and some of the erroneous information that misrepresents the Urantia Book and its origins.

Finally, we reflect on the nature of God and statements that reveal his divine nature in how he reveals himself through revelation.

Davide Neufer recently gave a presentation at the Urantia Foundations Scientific Symposium on the subject of the Shroud of Turin.

In our discussion, David takes us through the events at Joseph's Tomb on resurrection morning and explains the Urantia narrative step by step, and offers why he believes the shroud was intentionally left behind by celestial forces.

UBtheNews.com and UBAnnotated.com founder and researcher Halbert Katzen joins us to talk about his adventure to Central Asia and what he hopes to find among the relics and ruins of this ancient land (as it relates to Urantia Book history.

Plus, listener question: How did you find the book and what do you want more of in this podcast (and less of!). Time for a metaphysical group hug as we built this podcast to even greater heights!

Does anyone disagree Adam and Eve are two indivduals, with the exception of Jesus Christ, who most impacted our lives?

Belief in them is well-nigh universal.

no other people had such a dramatic cultural impact on humanity, so it deserves a second look at what happened, and how the Urantia Books’ narrative validates the story in Genesis with an expanded view of the circumstances behind this tragic so-called "fall of man."

This is the subject of our discussion of the Urantia Radio podcast.

How did life evolve?

Was it accidental, or by deisgn?

Let's look at what the Urantia Book says in Part 3 on the origin of life on our world.

And an extraordinary confession from an astrophysicist who says spontaneous creation is highly unlikely, and that the arrangement of black holes throughout the universe proves the creation could not have been random.

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.
