I Want to Know, Not Just Believe: A Journey Into Faith and Spiritual Guidance with Michael McAdams

What does it mean to move beyond simply believing and begin seeking a deeper, personal relationship with God and the spiritual realm? In this thought-provoking episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine welcomes spiritual teacher and author Michael McAdams for a conversation about faith, spiritual guidance, angels, intuition, prayer, and recognizing the guidance available to us. Michael shares how his spiritual journey began within a deeply Pentecostal family. Although faith was foundational to his upbringing, he also carried questions about spirituality, heaven, the soul, and what exists beyond our physical experience. That curiosity eventually opened the door to decades of spiritual exploration. A central part of Michael's story is the extraordinary experience of his mother, Wilma Jean Jones, who received written messages and teachings over a period of 22 years. Michael describes these communications as messages from spiritual teachers or angels and shares several passages from the writings collected in his book, An Angel Told Me So. Dana and Michael explore the idea that spiritual guidance may come through prayer, intuition, thoughts, impressions, and moments of inner knowing. Michael encourages listeners to remain grounded in faith while becoming more aware of the subtle ways guidance may appear in everyday life. The conversation also explores free will, spiritual discernment, affirmations, prophecy, the importance of asking for guidance, and Michael's belief that each of us can become more receptive to divine direction. One of the most powerful themes of the episode is simple: spiritual growth requires participation. Asking, seeking, listening, and remaining open are all part of developing a deeper relationship with God.
