The Gnostic Jesus Hiding in Plain Sight
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 · ARCHBISHOP JODY BÉDARD · 16:20
Archbishop Jody Bédard reads Thomas beside Matthew, Luke, John, Philip, and Mary. The sermon considers the Christmaker pathway: attain the resurrection—the Christ—while alive, and overcome in yourself the same pride, anger, or desire that you see ruling another person before guiding them through that struggle. Includes the original hymn “Light of the Living” with its cathedral-organ ending.
“Find the Christ within before undertaking to guide another through the same realization.”
Confronting the Shadow Within
Sunday, September 13, 2026 · Archbishop Jody Bédard · 12:14
Gnostic theology meets Jungian psychology in a call to examine the faults we condemn in others and to practice discernment throughout the work of awakening.
“The shadow you condemn in another may be waiting for its chance to speak through you. Gnosis is recognizing it before it takes the vessel.”
