Welcome to the On Earth Podcast!

If you’re the type of person who’s interested in learning things like the science behind wonder and awe, and how it relates to our understanding and experience of faith…or how to look at and understand ancient writings through an evolutionary lens, this podcast is for you. I’m doing this podcast for those of you who love talking about the intricacies of nature, and discussing topics like Consciousness, Beingness, ultimate reality, and our oneness and connection to everything. This podcast is also for you, if the faith that was handed down to you, doesn’t seem to be a good fit for you anymore…or if you’ve outgrown the four-wall church model, and are turned off by outdated hymns, and outdated or even toxic theology. I’m making this podcast for those of you who perhaps have gone through a faith deconstruction process, but you haven’t quite figured out how to integrate everything...or you’re looking for a community that embraces where you’ve finally landed. So, if you’re looking for a safe space to explore spirituality. If investigating fresh ways to think about and engage with the nature of our existence and the source of our Being excites you. If all the ways in which EVERYTHING is connected, and how we can use our energy to bring more healing, hope, and unity into the world is something your interested in being a part of…I invite you to subscribe!

Your Host Samantha Tuttle

Growing up, I was always that kid who was keenly aware of the intricacies of everything. I would notice and study closely the different parts of an insect…how the legs attached to the body, or how a housefly would lick its feet before cleaning its face. I loved studying the shapes and textures of leaves and wildflowers, and it didn’t get any better than finding a box turtle or toad in the woods! Nature for me has always been my direct connection to the Divine. Throughout my life, I’ve always carried my love of nature and science in one hand, and my love for spirituality and theology in the other.

At some point along my spiritual quest, I started connecting the dots between my understanding of evolution in nature, and the evolution of human consciousness in ancient texts. Reading these texts that I had learned as a child, now through the lens of humanity’s growth, progression, and expansion as a species, was like a light switch turning on. Suddenly, I was able to see intricate details I had no idea even existed. Mix in a little Environmental Science and Quantum Physics, and this Enneagram 5 is in her zone! Today, my work involves teaching how intentionally embracing moments of wonder and awe, and paying close attention to the intricacies within them can be the key to creating more love, connection, and wholeness in our world.

We live in an ever evolving, and ever expanding universe. This Universe, Source, Consciousness, God…whatever language best resonates, invites us to align ourselves with its forward movement and highest manifestation of love. The late John Shelby Spong captured the idea perfectly: ”Divinity is not the opposite of humanity. Divinity is the depth of humanity. The only way any of us can ever be divine is to become so deeply and fully human that we are open to whatever the spirit of divinity is to live in us and through us.”

The Fine Print: I have a B.S. in Environmental Science from Ferrum College, & an MDIV from Emory University (Candler School of Theology). I carry, but rarely use the title Reverend (Ordained in the UCC). I'm a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. I'm one of the rare \"outgoing\" Enneagram Type 5's in the world! I'm married to my husband, Mike, and we have a son & daughter together. I'm a huge U2 fan, and I have a borderline addiction to snorkeling the coral reefs around the island of St. John!
