226: The War Of Spirit
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In today’s episode, I’m talking about something that’s been weighing heavily on me this week. What we are seeing play out in the world right now only makes sense when you look at it through one lens, the War of Spirit. This isn’t just about politics, borders, governments, or power. It’s about fear versus love. Legalism versus humanity. The God of rules and punishment versus the Father that Jesus spoke of when he said, simply, “Love one another. Period.” In this episode, I share what I believe is happening beneath the surface of current events and why so much of the chaos, fear,...

Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this episode, I sit down with psychic medium and certified healer Barbra Banner for a deep, honest conversation about mediumship, soul growth, grief, and what it really means to trust the unseen.

We talk openly about what mediumship really looks like beyond the stereotypes and social media clips, and how spiritual work can be both deeply healing and very human. In this conversation, we explore: - Barbara’s late-in-life spiritual awakening and how...

222: Waste and Want Are Spiritually Imperative
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this deeply honest episode, I’m inviting you to rethink one of the most familiar life lessons we’ve all heard: “waste not, want not.” Instead of treating “waste” as something shameful, I’m sharing how letting go, clearing space, and releasing what no longer serves us is spiritually necessary if we ever want to experience true growth, joy, expansion, and alignment with who we really are. If you’ve ever felt guilty for throwing things away… guilty for not finishing what’s on your plate… guilty for stepping away from friendships, jobs, traditions, or expectations that...

218: Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer: Faith | Politics | Power
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this episode, I had a deep and honest conversation with Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer that pushes beyond comfort, challenges assumptions, and invites every listener to explore what they truly believe. Jackson is a member of the White House Faith Council, founder of Pastors for Trump, and one of the most outspoken voices at the intersection of faith, politics, and national leadership. I chose to have this episode because I believe real growth happens when we are willing to sit with perspectives that stretch us, activate us, or help us clarify our own truth. Whether you agree, disagree, or sit...

217: A Lesson In Self And The World We Are Living In
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this episode of Meredyth with a Why, I open up about a raw look at faith, spirituality, political division, and the rise of Christian nationalism in America. I wanted to share the truth about what happened in my recent interview with PastorJackson Lahmeyer, what I felt, and why this episode may challenge what you believe about compassion, justice, and faith. This isn’t just commentary. It’s me being honest about what it means to stay grounded in love when confronted with beliefs that feel out of alignment. I explained why the conversation left me overwhelmed, what I wished I had said,...
info_outlineWhat if the hardest moments of your life weren’t punishment, but spiritual correction trying to wake you up? If you keep attracting the same painful patterns, relationships, or emotional challenges, this episode of Meredyth with a Why offers a perspective that can completely change how you see your life.
In this episode, I discuss one of the most misunderstood concepts in spirituality and personal growth: the belief that suffering is punishment. I share a personal realization about working to be loved, and how it revealed why we repeat emotional patterns and attract the same relationships and life experiences. I also talk about how correction, boundaries, and discomfort are often necessary for confidence, resilience, and real growth.
In this episode, we explore:
- What is spiritual punishment, and how fear-based religious conditioning shapes our beliefs
- How childhood conditioning, trauma, and past experiences repeat themselves through adult relationships
- The difference between accountability and victim blaming, and why taking responsibility leads to freedom
- Why toxic patterns, triggers, and emotional reactions repeat until you finally wake up and change your role
- How karma, boundaries, and life challenges function as correction rather than revenge
- Why burnout, illness, emotional exhaustion, and imbalance are messages from the body asking for alignment
If you’ve been asking yourself “Why does this keep happening to me?” or “Why do I keep attracting the same type of relationship?” this conversation invites you to shift out of victimhood and into awareness, accountability, and healing.
You’re not being punished, you’re being guided. Listen to this episode to understand why, and how seeing it this way can change everything.
