Hello friend! Welcome to The Other World Podcast!
My name is Moriyah and I am so glad you are here! Imagine we are at a little book or coffee shop, sitting down and chatting about faith, stories and life.
As a little intro, and because I love intros & stories, I wanted to share a little backstory to The Other World Podcast.
About a year ago I hosted another podcast called the “Faith, Writing and Coffee Chats Podcast.” While I could have started up my old podcast again I want to start something new. I’m in a new season of life and I want to make a podcast that feels more in line with the season I’m in now. I’m not the same girl I was a year ago or even a few months ago. God has been working greatly in my heart and life and in preparing me for what’s next. I’m looking forward to what God has in store.
I want to be able to share with you what God is teaching me in this season and connect with you in this new way.
I also want to change the style I record these episodes. I want to try making more sit down episodes that are unedited and are really like if we were going to have a conversation at a coffee shop or over the phone so there may be ramblings in the coming future.
I want to be a friend and sister in Christ to you!
This leads me to the name. I was going back and forth between name ideas. I really wanted something that was personal to me and that connected to my faith which is the heart of this podcast. I want to share about life, the stories I’m loving, encouragement, what the Lord is teaching me and my prayer is that what I share here will all point to Jesus and seeking after His kingdom. I wanted a name that would reflect that.
A quote from my favorite author, C.S. Lewis came to mind. It’s one of my favorites and says: “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
Jesus himself spoke about this in John 18:36. “Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.’”
We were made for another world. As Christians we don’t belong to the world, we belong to Christ and His kingdom. This earth is not our true home. Our home is with Jesus and our Heavenly Father. As children of God we belong to the other world—God’s kingdom.
This is the backstory of The Other World Podcast and how it got its name. I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast. Make sure to like and subscribe—currently we are only on Substack but whenever that changes I’ll let you know. Thank you for coming along with me and I’ll see you in the next one!
Your sister in Christ,
Moriyah
