Ep. 13 Initiated into Mysteries with Matt Cosper

Brody hosts New Age Raid: A Modern Journey through Spirituality in the New Age, a podcast born from his own transition out of Mormonism and into a vast, uncharted landscape of belief. This isn't about declaring one true path, but about the curious, sometimes messy work of building a personal philosophy from many sources. Each episode functions as a kind of expedition, raiding diverse traditions-from structured Buddhist thought to more esoteric occult practices-to salvage ideas that feel authentic and useful for contemporary life. The core of the podcast lies in conversations with fellow travelers, people who are also actively searching, questioning, and constructing their own understanding of the sacred. You'll hear their stories, their doubts, and their discoveries, which collectively map the intimate and universal human drive for meaning. The tone is exploratory and conversational, avoiding easy dogma in favor of genuine inquiry. It’s for anyone who feels between worlds, dissatisfied with inherited answers yet hungry for depth, looking for a companionable voice on a similar journey. By engaging with this podcast, you join a raid party sifting through the ruins and riches of old spiritual systems, aiming to bring back something valuable for today.
