When God Is Good but Not Safe: Grace, Judgment, and the Call to Faithful Living
A Worship Service Rooted in Grace and Confession
The service opens with music, welcome, and a call to worship at LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church. The worship leader welcomes members, visitors, and delegates attending the Christian Reformed Church Synod, while also introducing Pastor Sean England as the morning preacher. The early portion of the service emphasizes God's grace, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the congregation's need for confession and forgiveness.
New Members Welcomed into the Church Family
The congregation welcomes new members Mark and Judy Mulan and Isaac Kerr. Mark and Judy are described as having discovered LaGrave through the livestream during COVID and as having a background in ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Isaac is introduced as a Calvin student who spent much of his life in Korea and is seeking to grow in faith and understand Christian life in the United States.
Prayer for Healing, Grief, Renewal, and the World
The congregational prayer draws on Psalm 145 and repeatedly returns to the theme that the Lord is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love. The prayer includes concerns for members facing surgery, recovery, grief, cancer treatment, and spiritual wandering. It also widens to include war, unrest, Christians in Iran, Ukraine, Sudan, Cuba, aid organizations, local ministries, missionaries, and the Christian Reformed Church Synod.
A Children's Message on Sin and Forgiveness
The children's message uses pencils with worn-down or missing erasers to explain sin, confession, and God's forgiveness. The worship leader contrasts ordinary erasers, which eventually wear out, with God's mercy, love, grace, and forgiveness, which never run out. The congregation then joins the children in singing "Jesus Loves Me" as a reminder that believers are weak but Christ is strong.
A Hard Scripture from Hebrews
The sermon begins with Hebrews 10:26-31, a difficult passage about deliberate sin, judgment, and falling into the hands of the living God. Pastor Sean England frames the passage through C. S. Lewis's image of Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia: not safe, but good. The sermon explains that Hebrews was written to early Jewish Christians tempted to return to a safer, more familiar religious life under pressure from the Roman world.
The Living God Who Changes His People
The sermon argues that faith in Christ cannot be reduced to comfort, safety, or cultural accommodation. The preacher warns against ignoring the Spirit, looking away from injustice, and choosing convenience over faithfulness. Yet the message does not end in despair; it emphasizes the great cloud of witnesses, the sustaining church community, Christ's once-for-all sacrifice, and the promise that God changes His people into who they were meant to be.

Ask The Angel With Rachel Corpus with Rachel Corpus
Timeline Jumping, Parallel Selves, and the Angelic Art of Choosing Your Highest Reality
Opening the Door to Timelines and Wonderfully Weird Questions
In this episode of Ask the Angel, host Reverend Rachel Corpus welcomes listeners into a deeply metaphysical conversation about timelines, parallel realities, quantum shifting, angelic guidance, and extraterrestrial consciousness. She frames the episode around a listener question from David in Pittsburgh, who asked whether Rachel had ever felt as though she suddenly stepped into another version of herself and nothing was quite the same afterward. Rachel answers yes, and uses the episode to explore what parallel timelines are, how they form, and how people may consciously work with them.
Rachel’s Near-Accident and a Glimpse Into a Parallel Reality
Rachel shares a personal story from a family vacation in California. The night before a planned outing, she says she heard spirit clearly tell her that an event would happen the next day and that she would experience “a certain type of death,” though she would be okay. The next day, while riding in a van with her family, they nearly had an accident at an intersection. As the family drove away safely, Rachel says she looked back and saw what felt like a parallel scene of the van crashing. She describes this as a nexus point, where one timeline continued safely while another version branched into a different experience.
Timelines as Twizzlers, Channels, and Versions of the Self
Rachel explains timelines through playful visual metaphors. She compares parallel timelines to a pack of Twizzlers stuck together, with each strand representing a version of the self. She also compares them to television channels: the listener may be tuned into “channel one,” while other versions of the self exist on other channels. In her explanation, every choice creates another version of experience, from major life decisions to small childhood moments such as going to kindergarten or choosing whether to go down a slide.
Parallel Lives, Past Lives, and the Expanding Self
Rachel distinguishes between parallel versions that look like the current self and other lifetimes where the soul may appear in entirely different bodies, eras, or forms. She says some versions may be similar to the current identity, while others may exist in the Wild West, ancient Egypt, another gender, or even another form of life. These are not presented as separate from the listener, but as part of a larger soul database that can be accessed through dreams, meditation, channeling, altered states, and spiritual practice.
Merging Timelines and Sharing Wisdom
One of the episode’s central ideas is that timelines are now “squishing together” because many people are awakening, praying, seeking enlightenment, and asking to remember who they truly are. Rachel says this merging means people are less separate from one another than before. When one person clears energy, forgives themselves, or learns wisdom, that vibration can ripple into others. She emphasizes that people do not need to take on another person’s trauma; instead, they can receive the wisdom that has been transmuted from it.
How to Recognize Timeline Shifts
Rachel lists signs that a person may be shifting or merging timelines. These include feeling like they are meant to be somewhere else, sensing that a job or relationship no longer fits, feeling that there is more to life but not knowing what, or reading history and sensing that there is more to the story than what is written. She also describes time feeling elastic, dreams becoming vivid or lucid, places seeming familiar but slightly different, and identity feeling as though it is unraveling before becoming more grounded.
Practicing Timeline Jumping With Intention
Rachel guides listeners through a practical example of conscious timeline jumping. She invites them to connect with their base self, decide what they are looking for, and ask what “channel” contains the desired version of themselves. In her demonstration, she looks for a version of herself that always has money and finds an image of a more organized, intentional version of herself who lives smaller, buys fewer but better things, and writes in journals. Rachel then describes “copying and pasting” the wisdom of that timeline into her current reality through breath.
Tools for Timeline Work
Rachel offers several methods for working with timelines, including breathwork, smoke or scent, journaling, automatic writing, guided meditations, sound frequencies, brain entrainment, and mirror work. She mentions using a frequency device and sound vibration to support altered states or travel. She also shares a technique from Rory Ballinger of “Still Six Still Here,” involving repeating one’s name and clapping to clear past versions of oneself. Another suggested practice is placing a note on a doorway that says stepping through it leads into the highest and best timeline.
Safety, Mental Health, and Spiritual Boundaries
Although Rachel presents timeline jumping as safe, she also adds important cautions. She tells listeners to take care of their mental health, go to therapy or counseling if needed, take medication if prescribed, sleep well, eat properly, and be grounded before doing practices such as mirror work. She also warns listeners not to use themselves as a “human taxi” for other beings and advises them to set boundaries with guides, angels, extraterrestrials, and any other non-human helpers. She also says people should not attempt to interfere with someone else’s timeline without permission.
ETs, Angels, Peace, and Matching Frequencies
Rachel connects timeline work to angelic and extraterrestrial contact. She says extraterrestrials travel through vibration, thought, and frequency rather than conventional physical movement. To meet them, she says she shifts into peace, because peace is easier for her to access than unconditional love. She describes angels as seeing timelines like light branches or a tree of life, while extraterrestrials describe them as multi-layered realities. For Rachel, peace becomes the doorway through which people can meet higher frequencies and access alternate versions of themselves.
Woo-Woo News, Pride Month, and Disclosure Day
Before the main teaching, Rachel includes her “woo-woo news you can use,” mixing humor, politics, and spiritual commentary. She jokes about renaming everyday body conditions with Trump-themed branding after discussing a story about President Trump’s name being removed from Kennedy Center signage. She also warmly affirms LGBTQ+ listeners during Pride Month, offering a maternal message of love, food, clean towels, clean sheets, and belonging. Rachel also mentions the film Disclosure Day, saying she plans to watch it and then channel Sarai and other extraterrestrial or ultra-terrestrial beings for their review in a future episode.
Returning to the Core Self
The episode closes with Rachel encouraging listeners to love “channel one,” their current base self, before exploring other versions. She reminds them that they are more than what they see in the mirror and that they contain many facets, timelines, and experiences. Her closing message is that timeline work should not be about escaping the present self, but about stabilizing the version of the self that can live with greater wisdom, peace, and alignment. She directs listeners to find her at rachelcorpus.com and signs off with her familiar encouragement to keep their halo straight.
