In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, host Scott Langdon and philosopher Jerry L. Martin explore the meaning of the New Axial Age: a transformative era of spiritual development that God revealed to Jerry during their dialogues.

What does it mean that “the old religions are coming apart, yet there is a renewal of religious spirit”?

Together, Scott and Jerry reflect on how history’s first Axial Age, with figures like the Hebrew prophets, Socrates, Confucius, and the Buddha, reshaped human consciousness, and why God says it’s time for His story to be told again, and not in the same way.

They discuss themes of religious renewal, the rise of “spiritual but not religious” seekers, the role of communication technology, and the invitation to live a radically personal faith in today’s world.

Join the conversation as they consider philosophy, theology, and the divine reality shaping our future.
