A few years ago, I was captivated by a phrase: “The more I rest, the more I receive.” Since then, I’ve been learning to trust that rhythm. One that doesn’t rush. One that doesn’t strive. One that doesn’t measure worth by effort. Recently, I began to embody this frequency in a deeper way. As I gave myself permission to rest, and only act from inspired, effortless alignment, The right people, the right clients, the right connections… simply began to appear. In meditation, I asked: Can life… and bu...

The term Christian has worn many cloaks across time. But if we peel back the layers of doctrine, institution, and identity... at its essence, to be a Christian originally meant: One who follows the way, the life, and the teachings of Jesus the Christ. Not Jesus as a distant icon. But Christ as a living frequency. As divine love embodied. As the pattern of awakened humanity made visible. The word Christian was first used in Antioch almost as a label of curiosity: They said… “These are the ones wh...

This episode is one of the most raw, personal, and transformative conversations I’ve ever shared. Stephanie and I went on another walk. What started as a playful moment—me calling her “feral” in the previous episode—unfolded into one of the most powerful retellings of her entire spiritual journey. What you’ll hear in this episode: The truth behind what I meant when I called Stephanie “feral” Stephanie’s resistance to spiritual domestication—even when the church, the board, and I tried to tame he...

After nearly a year of silence, Encouraging Others Through Christ is back. This episode wasn’t recorded in a studio. It was recorded on a walk with Stephanie—just the two of us moving through our neighborhood, moving through our story, and moving back into this space of sacred conversation. We didn’t plan a grand relaunch. We just hit record and let the truth come through. In this episode, we reflect on: Why I pulled the podcast from public view (and what’s changed since) What it’s cost me—energ...

From July 2021 through August 2023, I had published many updates about my spiritual faith evolution in this podcast. However, it has now been a whole year since I’ve published anything about my faith journey. This has caused many people to become curious about the sudden silence over the past year. Today, I woke up, listened to a piece of content that inspired me to create this episode, providing an update on my spiritual life and sharing the reason for the silence over the past year. As of righ...

In this deeply personal episode, Stephanie and I open up about our intertwined journey of spiritual evolution. Joined by Tony Rinkenberger, we delve into the challenges and triumphs experienced as our beliefs began to shift and expand.

In this episode I sit down with Troy Heinritz, a long-time member of our community, to dive deep into a concept many grapple with on a spiritual awakening journey: the delicate balance between Self and selfishness. As we explore the notion that to serve others in our highest state of consciousness, we must sometimes prioritize what brings us peace and joy, a question emerges: Is focusing on our own well-being inherently selfish, or is it a necessary act of self-love and preservation? Join us as ...

I recently published episode 705 of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show where I invited my great friend, Megan Porta, to have a conversation about our experiences with manifesting success and turning our dreams into reality.

Most of the feedback was along the lines of surprise that I, Cliff Ravenscraft, am a strong believer in "The Law of Attraction." One person wrote that she was blown ...

This episode is a followup conversation with my friend Brian Dixon that was shared back in episode 150 of this podcast . Towards the end of our previous conversation, Brian shared his extensive religious education - a master's degree from a Bible college - and his lifelong commitment as a Bible-believing Christian. He expressed his love for defending the "Word of God". With this in mind, I had invited Brian to come back onto the podcast to delve into his journey towards a belief in the inerrancy...

In this episode I shared an audio clip from Pete Briscoe and his podcast titled "KindaVangelical." My friend, Richard Marcotte , pointed me to Pete's podcast recently and I was really moved by the metaphor he uses of "the house" to describe the the journey of those who are stepping away from the evangelical church. As someone who started the process of walking away from evangelicalism over a decade ago, I had forgotten just how guttural, emotional, and difficult that initial transition was. Pete...

In my recent times of meditation and prayer, I have felt called to share more of the things that I've been learning about the more "esoteric teachings of Jesus." The word "esoteric" is defined as "intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest." It is very clear, that Jesus taught deeper spiritual truths to his close disciples than the messages that he shared publicly. In this episode, I share what came up for me during my time o...
