Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I'd like to welcome to the show Terry Yoder.
Terry Yoder
How you doing, Terry? Pretty good. Thank you so much for having me today.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Thank you so much for flying down to Next Level Soul Studios. Appreciate it, my friend.
Terry Yoder
You're very welcome. My pleasure.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So you have had an interesting, interesting life, to say the least. You've died twice and then that opened up your psychic abilities and mediumship as well, right?
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So you do both psychic and medium. I've always been told you can be a psychic and don't have to be a medium, but you can't be a medium without being a psychic, Right? Is that true?
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So take us back to the. Your first near death was young, right? So it didn't. Can you talk a little bit about that? Because the 14 year old. When you were 14 is when it really.
Terry Yoder
That was the. That was the big one. When I was born, I was born six months. I was born two months early. I was taken cesarean section because my mother had toxemia. So when they cut my mother to take me out, I jumped up and through my arms. Doctor says, I hope you're ready for this one. So that was. I believe that was a near death experience. I was in an incubator for quite a while before they could take me home. But at 14, I believe that that first one at birth, I believe that that was kind of my ability to choose whether to go or stay because I've got a pretty big plate this time around. And at 14, I was kind of aimlessly lost and difficult process. And the near death experience at 14 is the one that quickened me, awakened, woken me up, awakened my gifts inside of me. I didn't know it at the time. About two days after the near death experience, everything that is every blade of grass, every tree, every leaf, every person had a thin golden aura around it. Something's off, something's different, something's new. And then I went to my grandmother's that summer and found a Decatur cards in a drawer for which there was no explanation at the time. And they came to life for me and I was like, wow, these. These really work.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And this is 14. This is after.
Terry Yoder
This is after.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
All right. So before, did you have any inclination in regards to psychic abilities, mediumship, did you see dead people walking around?
Alex Ferrari
Like how.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Anything at all?
Terry Yoder
No.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So you were. Yeah, it was. It was that it was dormant.
Terry Yoder
I can recount being three or four years old and driving by a drive in and a nearby town and seen a shadow person.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You mean a shadow person, meaning like a spirit?
Terry Yoder
A shadow person. The big hat and the cape and that sort of thing. And it was in October, so my mother threw it off that it was just a Halloween costume.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So it's almost. Did they almost look like a dementor from Harry Potter?
Terry Yoder
Almost.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Almost. Right. Something like that big brimmed hat and.
Terry Yoder
The cape, the flowing cape.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Interesting. So. So what is a shadow person? Is it. That's not a spirit. It's something else.
Terry Yoder
It's. I'm not even sure how to describe it. I believe that they're a lower level entity that comes to bring fear and.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It feeds off of.
Terry Yoder
It feeds off of fear.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Very much like a dementor.
Terry Yoder
Yes, very much like dementor.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Wonder where she got that from, huh?
Terry Yoder
Wonder.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Wonder where she got that from. So that's interesting. Okay, so you're 14. What leads up to your death? Because generally 14 year olds don't have near death experiences.
Terry Yoder
Well, I'm not proud of it, but I was a very, very lonely young fella. I was raised in east Central Indiana in 60s and 70s. I didn't realize it. Well, I realized it at the time that I was actually growing up gay and that was a lonely existence. And. And I met a friend who taught me to huff gasoline. And please don't do it, it's not a good thing. It can actually kill you. And it was Memorial day week in 1979. Sunday. I was huffing gasoline and had huffed for probably two hours straight.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Oh Jesus.
Terry Yoder
And I wasn't a smart child.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And that wasn't helping your intelligence.
Terry Yoder
It wasn't helping my intelligence either. But it was a way of coping. It was a way of escaping the reality of things. And I left my body. I left. I left my body. I went up and hovered above my body and I was alone. And there was a voice that spoke to me and was coaxing me to let go. Just let go. Come with me. Let go. Everything will be fine.
Alex Ferrari
Just.
Terry Yoder
And it was like this doesn't feel like a right voice. And I didn't trust it. And then just then my dad lifts the garage door and I was shoved back in my body instantaneous. He saved my life. He saved my life. So I was just hovering above my body. And I believe it's in that moment that that experience is the experience that opened my gifts wide open.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You basically had an out of body experience. You were dying or might have been.
Terry Yoder
I was on the path to death.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
What I find interesting about this story is that you had a voice talking to you, but you didn't trust the voice. What do you think that voice was Negative. It Was negative. It was. It wasn't something positive.
Terry Yoder
I think it was. I think it was lower energy trying to snuff me out because I'm here for a purpose.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Interesting. Have you dealt with those energies since?
Terry Yoder
A couple times, yeah. When I was first opening up, I had something lay down on the bed with me and whisper my name.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Oh, that's fun.
Terry Yoder
Oh, yeah.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Great for Halloween, right?
Terry Yoder
Great night's sleep that night. Yeah. But then that's when I was introduced to my first guide, is when that experience happened. Then I literally had this experience where my guide crystal came in over top of me and said, you know, this is a negative force. This is something that you need to resist. And it was at that point that my gifts really started to take off.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I wanted to ask you about something because it's something that's kind of come up into my life recently in regards to negative entities, negative energy. And it's something I've been, you know, discussing with other contemporaries of yours and I find. I find kind of fascinating because the energy when we. When we talk about like the astral realms and we talk about negative spirits and we talk about like, hauntings and things like that. My understanding of hauntings and things and. Please tell me, your experiences obviously are ghosts. Not ghosts, but spirits or fractals or echoes of spirit that are trapped in almost a loop of a traumatic experience. So there's that. I had a story. I had someone come on that day. There was a haunting in a house. And they say, one o', clock, everything's gonna go crazy. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't feel anything. And at one o', clock, it's a Civil War or World War I. It was Civil War, World War I. Hospital, makeshift hospital. I think it was a Civil war. And there's nurses and there's bodies everywhere and blood. And it's all these spirits that are kind of caught in that loop. So that's one thing. It's not. That's not particularly negative. They might just not want you there because they're going through their own stuff. Does that make sense, what I'm saying? Yes, all that makes sense.
Terry Yoder
Okay, absolutely.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
But then you're talking about negative entities, which are the lower level energies who are our spirit as well. But they just haven't evolved themselves out of it yet.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So they feed on fear. They try to create fear and all of that.
Terry Yoder
Create fear, create diversions from your process, from your direction.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And the bigger the mission, the more intense that could be, depending on what you're here to do because they don't want to see happiness. They don't want to see evolution. Is that all right?
Terry Yoder
They don't want to see edification. They don't want to see people aided, helped, assist.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So they're there to kind of mess it. But the thing is that they are essentially light is much more powerful.
Terry Yoder
Yes. Always.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Always. So the light that you generate yourself. And also I've heard stories in near death experiences where people go through a hellish experience where they go down because they were either Catholic or they were in their religion or their, you know, a patterning in their brain. They believe that they need to go through that. So they go through it. And.
Alex Ferrari
We'Ll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Alex Ferrari
And now back to the show.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
All the time. Every single one that I've at least interviewed that have had a negative near death experience when they come down and they're stuck there for days, let's say all they do is ask once I need help, can someone come and help me? That's when Archangel Michael or an archangel shows up or Jesus shows up or someone and it's light and they just scatter. Is that essentially the way it works?
Terry Yoder
I believe that. Yeah. Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Is it? You remember the movie Ghost? Of course.
Terry Yoder
Oh, yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah, it's, it has gets a lot of things right.
Terry Yoder
It does.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It gets a lot of things right.
Terry Yoder
I don't necessarily agree with the dark things coming up out of the ground. And that was yanking you off to hell. Right, there's that, but there was a lot of truth in that. Oh.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I mean, a lot of truth. Because the more I've spoken to so many psychic mediums and I look at Whoopi and what she did in that movie and what the whole. All of that stuff was, is pretty accurate. But I was going to bring up the negative energies, those, we'll call them dementors for lack of a better word. Right now, pulling the soul into a hellish, who knows where they were being pulled into. But that's kind of the kind of low level energy you're talking about. Like these kind of ground dwelling, very low energy, basic energies. Is that true?
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So what can someone do to protect themselves? Because I. I've heard of many in the Eastern philosophies, in the Vedic chants and mantras that help give you protection, meditations. What do you do?
Terry Yoder
Whenever I feel something like that, I immediately stop and I say, anything that cannot or will not walk in the light of Christ must depart now and God bless you. That usually does the trick. Sometimes I have to actually pull away and go into a state of meditation. I mean, I had a situation last night where I had something trying to affect me as I was trying to go to sleep and I'm just like, I had to rebuke three times and then it stopped and I was able to get a peaceful night's sleep. So it does happen. And I find that it happens most with me to try to prevent me from doing or achieving something that I'm trying to achieve for the good of the whole.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And being on the show would be one of those things.
Terry Yoder
Being on the show would be one of those things.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So they were trying to slow you down or stop.
Terry Yoder
You confuse me. Work me up.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Interesting. And there's a difference between. And this is. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Because so many of us think we have spirit guides, we have our loved ones, we have protectors, we have ascended masters, we have angels around the guardian angels, all these things. But yet these, these entities still are able to get through. So can you explain to me what the difference is between your guardian angel or your ascended masters or your spirit guides? Any of these who are there to protect you on the macro level? I guess.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
But this seems to be a micro level kind of situation that they don't get involved in unless asked, unless you ask for assistance, is that. I'm just trying to understand.
Terry Yoder
I believe that we're always in the palm of the hand of God. I believe that we're always protected. But I believe that these little incidents, like last night, came to teach me something.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Right.
Terry Yoder
You're never out of grace, but you're permitted to be challenged and tested for your own ability to grow and learn.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah. Because it's kind of like a parent who constantly is protecting the child from the world, but the moment that the parent is not there, the real world comes up.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And you're not prepared.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You're not prepared.
Alex Ferrari
What are taxes?
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Do I have to pay taxes? My parents paid my taxes.
Terry Yoder
All this time.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Laundry.
Alex Ferrari
What is that? I just all showed up and my clothes were always clean.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You know, that's. And that happens all the time, right? You know, all the time. Especially if you have a Latino mother like I did. It took me a minute to kind of get over. I had to break free from that and just go, hey, I'm going to do my own laundry.
Terry Yoder
I got to figure this out. Exactly.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I love you, Mom.
Terry Yoder
I'll never forget the day that I was getting up at school 7:30 in the morning to go to work and realize I was like 21. And I'm like, I'm going to have to do this for the rest of my life until I'm done. It isn't true. I don't have to get up at 7:30 every morning, but I realize, oh, I have to do this the rest of my life.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Terri, one thing I feel about you is that you're such a gentle energy, a gentle soul.
Terry Yoder
I pride myself on that.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah, you're very. You're very gentle. There's a kindness that comes from you. There's a gentleness that comes from you. Your energy kind of just says that you. And as you're telling me, like, yeah, something last night was trying to get to me. I'm like, it almost senses like, oh, yeah, he's an easy target because he seems so gentle and so kind. You're not like this warrior or anything like that, that I can. The energy. I'm sure you are a warrior in many ways in your life.
Terry Yoder
Need to be. I will be.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yes, correct. But generally, your baseline, very kind, very gentle. It must be more difficult doing the work that you do because you see, obviously, are an empath. Obviously you feel people's energy. How do you kind of do the work? And yet still, because there's a lot of Empathic people listening, and a lot of people who are gentle and kind in their everyday life. But the world rough sometimes.
Terry Yoder
Yeah.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And it seems to be getting rougher in areas of the world. So how do you deal with that? How do you kind of not, like, protect your energy? That's a big question, is how do you protect your energy from other people's either jealousies or other people's hatred or other people? Because I gotta believe or miss, you've got. You've dealt with this, right?
Terry Yoder
Yeah. I mean, an example that I can think of is there was at one point, I had another local psychic in my area, the Bay Area, who actually sent someone to do a 15 minute telephone reading with me so they could trash me on Yelp. And it was all taken out of context. It was all completely, totally misconstrued. And when I looked at this woman's reviews, it's like, aha. Six positive reviews for xyz. And here I am being trash. And that was enough for me. I'm like, oh, it's jealousy. I don't need to deal with this. Let it go. It gets hard, though, because sometimes you deal with difficult people.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Stop it.
Terry Yoder
Difficult people and unbelievable situations.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Mm.
Terry Yoder
And I just. When it's over, I step away. I brush off. I ask for renewal. I cleanse. Put it in perspective.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
But do you go through a daily ritual of kind of like protecting yourself and cleansing yourself? Because I gotta imagine the energies that you deal with on a daily basis doing the work you do.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Is difficult. Just like a simple psych is a simple, as I say, simple. A simple psychic reading or a simple medium. You know, a mediumship session where you're talking to a loved one.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's energy that's flowing through, in and out of you. And I mean, at a certain point, you gotta cleanse that stuff.
Terry Yoder
You do need to cleanse it, because if you don't, it builds up and like attracts like. Build it, build it, build it, build it. It can actually consume you if you don't clear it.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Interesting.
Terry Yoder
How do you clear it again? I step back, do a brief meditation, focus on white light, golden light coming in through the top of my head, pushing all of that out, relinquishing all of that, letting it go in God's name, light of God.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Were you raised religious?
Terry Yoder
I was not raised religious, but at 14, I had the near death experience. I found the tarot cards. They came to life for me. I had my first relationship and I went into the Pentecostal Church, all within a four month period.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
That seems like a lot.
Terry Yoder
Yeah, I really do it up, don't I?
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
How'd that work out, sir?
Terry Yoder
Actually, you know what? It worked out really well. I. I was so devout in my love of God and my love of Christ and I really devoted myself to the Christian faith. And about three and a half years in, I started to see holes and.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You mean plot holes in the story.
Terry Yoder
Holes in the faith.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Interesting.
Terry Yoder
Where's the love of Christ? Yeah. So you mean they're not really.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You mean the churches are not about what Christ actually spoke about? Right. Stop it. Right.
Terry Yoder
And I mean at 14.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You figured this out at 14 or 17?
Terry Yoder
14 to 17. Yeah.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I'm like a hell of a more advanced. I was.
Terry Yoder
That's for sure. I'm like, you know, this just. I mean, that was what I said when I left was, where's the love of Christ?
Alex Ferrari
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Alex Ferrari
And now back to the show.
Terry Yoder
And no one could give me an answer. It was just anger. Haughty, right? But you know, my foundation is in Christianity and I. I have it's. It's the foundation upon which my gifts were centered. At 14, when, when I gave my life to Christ, I was given multiple of the spiritual gifts right then and there on the spot. I think that was the grand poobah. Opening the portal and really putting me in place to receive from spirit.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And I'm going to play devil's advocate, no pun intended here. According to the Christian faith, what you do as far as a psychic medium, you're the devil, this is the devil's work. So that's really interesting. You say the second I kind of open myself up to Christ, maybe not the faith, but Christ itself, the energy of Christ consciousness. That's when these things opened up in you?
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
That's pretty fast. So it's.
Terry Yoder
That's when they went into operation.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
They opened up, they turned on. So when they turned on, how did a 14 year old deal with that in a time where they didn't have shows like this or even information like this, other than in an occult book, an occult bookstore or you pick up an extracurricular.
Terry Yoder
Nothing like that where I was raised. Exactly.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You wouldn't.
Terry Yoder
You're not.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You might find an Edgar Casey book in a library somewhere that's really. Maybe a Jane Roberts, if you're lucky, kind of, you know, books or Alice Bailey.
Terry Yoder
Interesting that you bring that up because my greatest source of help and strength was my grandma Ruby. And she read every Edgar Casey book. Every Jane Roberts book? Yes, all of it. Her favorite book was When God was a Woman.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
That's the name of the book?
Terry Yoder
Yes. That's a genius name.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I love it.
Terry Yoder
Yep. And she would always tell me, you have a very special mind if you'll open it up and use it to its fullest potential, you've got great things to do. And she was my saving grace. She was my saving grace because I had no one. And I'm totally self taught, Alex. I'm taught by spirit. It just. I let flow what needs to flow.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Wow. I love her name. Grandma Ruby.
Terry Yoder
Grandma Ruby.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
That's beautiful. So she was there kind of helping you as a guide during those years?
Terry Yoder
Yeah. In actuality, she had told me that when she was very little, four, four or five years old, when people would come to visit, she would come and lay her hand on their knee and prophesy.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Oh, so she had the gift.
Terry Yoder
And this is 19, 15, 16, rural Missouri. So you were close. Literally, they started locking her up when people would come. So what ended up happening was she could feel and sense and receive, but she couldn't express anything that she got. So I believe I get tears in my eyes. I believe that I'm in some way a product of her. And in. In some small way I'm helping do for her what she wasn't able That's, That's.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
That's beautiful. But at least you had someone.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Someone to help you along the path. Along the path, because 60s and 70s, it was just the same. Starting to crackle open a little bit here and there.
Terry Yoder
My first crackle in this was about fourth grade. So I guess I was around 10 years old. Somebody asked me, a classmate asked me in the reading section of the room what I thought I was going to do for a living in my life. And I said, you know, I believe that I have. I believe that I have some special sensitivities. And maybe I'm a psychic. I don't know. But I think maybe I'm going to be like a psychic psychotherapist. Now, I am not. Yeah. I am not a psychotherapist. I am not licensed. I know my boundaries. And when I get into something where people need professional help, I refer them that direction. I'm not going to sit here. I feel I. I would be afraid that I would do harm.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Sure. Well, you have. You have ethics.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You have morals.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Which is interesting. So, okay, so you start using your gifts. At what point did you decide to come out and start doing this publicly? Or how long did you kind of.
Terry Yoder
Well, when I found the cards, I started using them. I read for my grandma, and she's like, oh, we don't talk about that in the family. We don't talk about that. So I was starting to learn tact.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Don't walk in. I'm like, you know, Uncle Bob just came in and he likes to talk to you about something.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You don't just say that.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
At the family gathering.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Uncle Bob died five months ago.
Terry Yoder
You don't do that like in ghosts. You can't say that. You got to water it down, girl, you in danger.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Girl, you in danger. They going to kill you.
Terry Yoder
So, yeah, ethics and morals. And I try to put myself in the position of my clients. If I were in their shoes, this is what would be most helpful for me. This is how I would want to be treated. Fair enough. Yeah.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
How do you receive the messages from spirit.
Terry Yoder
Who? A lot of different ways.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
All the Claire's.
Terry Yoder
I'm sorry?
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
All the Claire's.
Terry Yoder
All the Claire's.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Okay.
Terry Yoder
Yeah. Which Clairvoyance. Clairaudience. Claire. Sentience. Clairolence. Which is clear smell.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Okay.
Terry Yoder
Phantom fragrance. Clear smelling smell.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
A cigar or something.
Terry Yoder
Claire Gustance. Which is clear taste. Stop it. Yeah. I had a reading one time when I first started doing it for the public. I had two women in front of me And I'm like, ladies, I keep smelling popcorn and tasting popcorn, and I feel like there's some significance of popcorn. And they're like, oh, my God. We were just talking on the way over here about how much we love popcorn and that we're out and we have to stop at the store on the way home to get some. Well, that made all the difference in the world, because now they know that I'm tuned in, right?
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And now that was the proof, the evidence that, like, oh, something's going on here, right?
Terry Yoder
One of the most powerful stories I have about Clairaunt's the Claire smell. My mom died in 2014, and I came home from work about a week and a half later, and a fox ran and jumped across the road in front of my car. And I'd never seen a fox in the wild before, and I'd never seen a fox fly like Rocky the flying squirrel. So it really stuck out, right? And when I got home, I said, mom, you know, I feel like that. I feel like that fox had something to do with you. And I looked it up in my animal speak book and said, anyone with a totem of fox would have an obsession with their hair. Well, kind of tough. But then my mother, to the day she died, if someone rang the doorbell, she'd make sure her hair was in place. So I felt it was my mom, that this fox was a message from my mom. And then all of a sudden, Alex, My entire living room filled with the scent of Noxzema. And that's my mother. Right? And, you know, a few times before my dad passed away, he would tell me I woke up in the middle of the night and the room smelled like Noxema.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
He said that, huh?
Terry Yoder
With no Noxzema in the house. So when mom comes in, it's Noxima.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Interesting. So that. So that happens often, the smell?
Terry Yoder
Not as often. But I'll tell you, when smell occurs, it's usually a very. To me, it goes right into the soul.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's a deep, deep connection.
Terry Yoder
Connection.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So what's your bread like? What's your meat and potatoes? Way of getting messages.
Terry Yoder
Empathy.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You feel it.
Terry Yoder
Empathic. I feel everything.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
But do you see any images in your mind?
Terry Yoder
Yes. Do you see.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Do you actually. Well, those are. Those are psychic messages. But how about, like, when you're seeing a person, do you see the soul on the. Like. So is there anyone but next to me right now? I'm just curious.
Terry Yoder
Of course, yes. Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I have people around me.
Terry Yoder
Yes, of course.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I could probably name a Few of.
Terry Yoder
Them, but I won't.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So you see them?
Terry Yoder
I don't see them.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Okay.
Terry Yoder
I feel them.
Alex Ferrari
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Alex Ferrari
And now back to the show.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
But if you try to tune in, do you see them or how does that work?
Terry Yoder
I don't. It's very difficult to explain how you see emotionally.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So when I say see, you actually see something, like an entity of an image of something visual.
Terry Yoder
Usually I'm not big on scene entities or spirits. It has happened. Okay, so you're.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You're more feeling than anything.
Terry Yoder
Feeling. Claire, Audience. I hear. Oh, I hear everything. Sometimes, you know, somebody hasn't been in a relationship for 14 years and I've got ABBA above my head. Take a chance, take a chance, Take a chance, take a chance. I hear songs. I hear movie lines. I hear. I hear voices, I hear emotions. I sense emotions. I do see some. But feeling, hearing and sensing is really my strongest. It's difficult to describe how you can feel somebody from. From the inside out.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I kind of understand what you mean. It's a very deep connection.
Terry Yoder
So it'll come right up through the center of me.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah, it seems like a very deep connection. Do you mind? Can we do an experiment? Do you mind?
Terry Yoder
What's that?
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Could you. If there's somebody here, can you just kind of find out who that person is and I can tell you yes or no. And like, if you. Again, we'll cut it out if you want to.
Terry Yoder
I am. I am not big on getting names, addresses, phone numbers, lottery numbers.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
None of that.
Terry Yoder
None of that. The way that I work, Alex is I'll ask someone, is there someone on the other side that you would like to connect with? And they say, yes. And I say, may I have that person's name and may I know your relationship to them? When they give me the name and the relationship, I feel a vibrational tone go off in my heart.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Okay. The frequency, if you will.
Terry Yoder
Yes. So then when that matching tone comes in and connects, I know that that's the person. And then I start to emote and feel the messages and sensations that are supposed to be expressed.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Oh, that's beautiful. That's. That's a beautiful way of doing it.
Terry Yoder
You're very.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You're unique in the way that you.
Terry Yoder
I'm unique in the way that I read tarot. I'm self taught. I'm taught by spirit. I'm unique in the way that I work in mediumship. And Alex, that is a very important message to everyone is everyone's gifts are absolutely unique. They're the same gifts, but they're unique for every person.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Well, yeah, I mean, every. Not everyone's going to throw the basketball the same way, right? Everyone's.
Terry Yoder
I mean, in first Corinthians, it talks about the gifts of the spirit and it talks about how unto. Each person is given as much as they would will, and that each person has the same gift given by the same God for the same work, but it's their own unique expression.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I have to ask you something that. What I find fascinating with people who judge other people and especially kind of the work that you do. Coming from a Christian faith, let's say, where I come from, Catholic faith, we discussed, like, what you do is frowned upon. It's like, that's the devil's work. But yet if you're made of the same stuff, if God made you and God is giving you these abilities because you have them regardless, how can they be bad? Like, how can they be connected to the devil, you know, and all that kind of stuff. I just find it. So that's one of the plot holes.
Terry Yoder
I believe that it read. I believe that it reverts back to your intention because there's a. There's a passage in the Bible, it says it's by your works that you're known before there's work. There has to be intention. So it's through the intention that you're known. I don't read cards and do mediumship to glorify the devil or any negative force. I do it to help people and to glorify God. I mean, I was given a prophecy at 14 that said, go forth and love my people in my name. That's what I do, is love God's people in God's name.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's beautiful. Why do you think you were drawn to the Christian faith? Because I know you have a lineage of Amish Right. In your.
Terry Yoder
In your.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
In your line.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Distant but still there.
Terry Yoder
Yeah.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Is that. Why do you think that in this life, when you came in, you. That this is the. The path you went down and you weren't born Hindu or you weren't born Muslim or you weren't born Jewish or another path. Why do you believe that this was the path? Because it seems like it's so natural for you.
Terry Yoder
I think it's a path that I've repeated over and over. I think I've had numerous lifetimes in Catholicism.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Got it.
Terry Yoder
A lot of lifetimes in France.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Have you been different?
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And you felt. How is it when you go back, do you feel?
Terry Yoder
I feel at home.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah.
Terry Yoder
And oddly, my French teacher in school was from Kentucky, so. Bonjour. Bonjour, class. Come on. I'll. Le vu ojordui. But somehow, out of that, when I speak French, people will ask me if I'm from Toulouse because of the accent. Because of the accent. And I've never been to Toulouse in this life. But when I was in fourth grade, again fourth grade, we were studying Europe, and the teacher said, okay, based on its position and based on what you know about France, what do you think it would be? What you think it would be like? What would. And I described the steps up to Socrate. And the teacher turns over a picture, and it's the steps up to Socrate.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah. So, yeah, that probably freaked her out.
Terry Yoder
I think it's a. I think it was a repeat of something that I had done over and over and over. And I'm very strong on spiritual truth and freedom. I'm more about the do's than the don'ts. And I think that I came in this time to experience this so that I could undo all the don'ts that I had been up against in my life and be more on the freedom of the dues, the doing of what is right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
From spirit's perspective right now, what is. What is humanity struggling with? The most at this moment in history.
Terry Yoder
Humility.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
That's a good one.
Terry Yoder
Connection to their own consciousness and their respect for one another.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Powerful and very true.
Terry Yoder
And it shakes me to my core.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Let's connect with each one of those. So the first one is being humble. Humility. Throughout history, it seems that humanity is always trying to dominate and trying to control and trying to conquer, and it's led us to this point. I feel the energy is a bit changing now, where the divine feminine seems to be coming back up, because this is what we need at this point. We needed the masculine for a long time. And it's not to say the masculine is bad. It's just a different energy. There's a ying and the yang. They have to balance it. And we've been forcing, you know, all this kind of like, conquer, cracker, conquer. But we need to bring up the divine feminine, which is what's happening right now. Do you agree with, like, that you feel the same thing that there is that. That is kind of shifting that.
Terry Yoder
Yes. It's kind of doing this right now.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Going back and forth a little bit.
Terry Yoder
Yeah. But the. The feminine essence is rising. The essence of spirit is rising.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Because humanity is always. No matter where, time of history. We all have figured out at any time a moment in history, we're like, yep, we know how the universe works.
Terry Yoder
It's.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's Zeus.
Terry Yoder
It's.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yes, We. We revolve around the universe revolves around us.
Terry Yoder
All.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
They have it figured out. No matter where we are in history, they're never humble enough to understand. We don't know everything.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And you're always learning and you're always growing. Right. And I think that's one of the biggest things, one of the bigger problems we have.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Right now. Right, Right. So what's. How about the second one?
Terry Yoder
I don't remember what the second one was. Humility.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It was humility. It was discovering our own consciousness. Mm.
Terry Yoder
Yeah. Connecting with. Connecting with your consciousness and the consciousness of others. I think technology has done a lot of damage. Everybody, if they don't have their cell phone or their iPad, they're kind of lost. And I feel like that's kind of distracted and taken the sensitivity out of people. Another example would be video games. I think video games have deadened people's. I mean, oh, I killed 15 of them. And it deadens the sentiment of what is actually real.
Alex Ferrari
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Terry Yoder
And creates or has created a disconnect between people and I believe that God wants us unified and not all running in 15 different directions.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah, it's the, the thing I've been hearing lately is peak humanity. Have you heard of that term when peak humanity was was basically the 19. That was where we popped. Now we're, we're on a downward spiral. I don't believe that. I don't believe that we've hit peak humanity.
Terry Yoder
Right. I don't either. There's always room to go up.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Absolutely. And I think we are going up in many ways.
Terry Yoder
I think when we get there it's going to be really, really, really good. But getting there. I think we're probably one of the hard headed species on the planet. The universe. Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
We're taking our sweet time.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Do you believe that there's humanity right now seems to be going through a shift. There's no question about the energy of humanity. Our consciousness is growing in ways people are awakening in ways. Shows like this have a lot of eyeballs on it where this wouldn't have had any eyeballs on it 10 years ago. Not nearly as many or 15 or 20 years ago or when you were coming up in the 60s and 70s. Can you imagine a show like this? Can you imagine open conversation like this? That would be insane.
Terry Yoder
Yeah.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You know, we would be thrown away. We'd be thrown in some sort of psycho. Psycho ward.
Terry Yoder
Exactly.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You know what I mean? I mean, I remember watching the. You remember Michael Jackson's Thriller? Do you remember the opening? The opening disclaimer? There is an opening. This is how crazy people were. This is 80. What, 84, I think it was when. I think so when Thriller showed up, it said we. This is not part of the occult. This is not devil. Like it was something along. Like this is not because of zombies. Because of zombies. Can you imagine?
Terry Yoder
And now we watch them on television series all the time, eating one another and doing all kinds of crazy things all day.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
You know, 10, 10 season, whatever it is, amount of seasons of it. It's one of the biggest shows ever.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's. It's fascinating how humanity goes. But you. So you do agree that humanity is awakening and going, do you. How do you. How do you foresee us evolving is a general statement over the next few years? Because we've had a rough five years. These have been since 2020. It's been a boy, been a wild ride.
Terry Yoder
I wish I knew the timing on when and how things are going to be. I think there's going to be some pain involved with this. But ultimately I feel like people are. It's like 9, 11. When the buildings fell, everyone came together. I believe that it's going to. In sense, maybe we're going to be forced to all come together and be unified. One thing that really concerns me is I think we're coming to a place where we're not going to know what is and isn't true.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Oh, I think we're getting to that.
Terry Yoder
Place real quick, very quickly.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
That's interesting. So when you don't understand what's true or not, you have to. With your eyes, you have to go in. You have to go in.
Terry Yoder
That's why it's so important for people to connect with their consciousness and to find their own manifestation and expression of their own spiritual gifts.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's interesting because, like I'll look at an AI video and I have a trained eye, being in the film industry so long, so I can kind of sense and I look at it, I'm like, oh, I can see the little things that don't make it human. But to the untrained eye, a lot of people are starting to buy a lot of this stuff. And this is just now, in six months, in a year or two, in five years, this stuff is going to be so good. It's going to be like you and Me, all the nuances of your eyes twitching, you're moving. All the. All the things that make us human are going to be emulated. But when you look at those videos, there is an energy associated to them, in my opinion. I'd love to hear you. What you think that there is an energy to these videos. And you look at them, you're like, you just sense that that's not real.
Terry Yoder
There's a deadness to them.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Right? Because it doesn't have soul. You know, like when you film something, there is energy in the filming of it. The person filming it and the person in front of it. There is something there. I've been fooled a couple times, especially like with the. When it's the security camera footage and like there's a giant bear and this old lady is feeding the bear and the babies in front, and I'm like, is that an alligator coming up?
Terry Yoder
Like.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
And it gets so ridiculous, like it can't be real, right? But man kind of fooled me just. Yeah, a little for a second or two. But you. But there is no.
Terry Yoder
There's no energy.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Would you agree?
Terry Yoder
Yes, absolutely. The energy.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So there is energy to all of that. So let me ask you, with everything that's going on, what part of the future with humanity do you think technology will play? Because it's not going anywhere. AI is only going to get bigger and more part of our lives, very much like the Internet did when it came out in the 90s. Now it's in every aspect of our lives.
Terry Yoder
Lives.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
AI is going to do that much faster and much more all inclusive, I believe, spiritually. Where do you think this is going to? How is this going to help us or hurt us?
Terry Yoder
I'm not really sure, but I. If I had to say something, I sense that it's going to. It's going to help in a lot of ways, but it's also going to lead us to a sense of emptiness. And that emptiness, I think, is what's going to help open people's hearts and get them back into the human feeling, sensing, emotional part again.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Is that. Is it kind of the reason why people are going back to vinyl and going back to tapes? They're going back to tapes, audio tapes. They're going back to vhs, which. It's insane. Don't go back to vhs, please. I worked in a video store for a long time. Don't do this. But they want the tactile. They want to feel again. They want to hold something. It's a way to connect to something more organic than just a File in the cloud somewhere. Is that kind of where we're at going?
Terry Yoder
And my sister, like my sister says, I don't want to do this to read a book. I want to hold the book. I want to smell the book. I want to turn the pages. I want to feel it.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So the technology that's advancing so quickly, there'll be aspects of it that we will incorporate in our lives, but there'll be aspects that we'll reject.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Because we want to connect to something.
Terry Yoder
There'll be aspects that some people reject, some people embrace, some people will. One people won't. AI is great. I mean, I use AI to perfect my writing. That's the only way that I use AI.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Yeah.
Terry Yoder
Is I'll write something and say, clean it up. And it cleans it up.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It cleans it up.
Alex Ferrari
It's still your voice.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's still your soul. It's just like. It's an editor. It's essentially an editor for you.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Like a book editor.
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
It's. It's a weird and wacky place.
Terry Yoder
Yeah. We're right on a teetering. Right on a precipice. Seems like.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Do you believe that everyone who's been incarnated now at this time did it by choice because they wanted to be front row to arguably the greatest show in the universe at this point?
Terry Yoder
Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yes. I don't know what else to say about that.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Well, let me ask you. What do you think is the greatest misconception people have about the work that.
Terry Yoder
You do, that it's of the devil?
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Well, there's that, of course.
Terry Yoder
And that I'm a cell phone to the other side. And that. I guess the biggest and the hardest part of it, Alex, is people wanting it the way they want it. I've had people. I've had very disturbing experiences with people who are having connections with a loved one from the other side, and because of their own negative emotions involved, they will not. I had a woman tell me. I'm not believing anything you say to me until you tell me one specific word. And I'm like, ma', am, your husband is telling you that you had a fight 10 minutes before he died. And he wants you to know that that doesn't exist anywhere except in your mind and your heart. And you need to let it go so he can connect with you and that you can be. You can be connected on different planes. She got up and walked out of.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
My house.
Terry Yoder
Because it didn't come with one single word. One of the things that I try to let people know is come in with an open mind and listen closely because sometimes it's the little things that are said in a reading that are the biggest proof.
Alex Ferrari
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Terry Yoder
I mean, the fact that, yeah, I picked up the fact that they had an argument 10 minutes before he passed away from a drug overdose and I was absolutely accurate. Yes, she's angry. Yes, she's carrying it. That meant nothing. She wanted to hear the exact certain word. And hey, if you want to prove me wrong, you will.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
What is also the biggest misconception people have of life on the other side from your understanding with dealing with these.
Terry Yoder
Spirits, a lot of people believe that it doesn't exist.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Well, there's that. There's that.
Terry Yoder
I don't know how to answer that question. The first thing that comes to me is that everything that happens in spirit happens in order. Just because they don't come through today in a reading doesn't mean that they're not there or they're angry at you or they don't want to talk to you or I'm not psychic and not gifted as a medium. It just. They didn't get a hall pass today.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
They just didn't show up.
Terry Yoder
They didn't show up or they didn't.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Want to show up, right?
Terry Yoder
I mean, I have to prepare for readings and the person who's having the reading really should prepare for the reading as well. Clear your heart, get, write down your questions, get a. Get a point of focus. What's most important for you to talk about?
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
They also, that people always have this thing that they attach, they attach human ness to the spirit world. Like, okay, is Uncle Bob. What is Uncle Bob doing today? Is he like on the golf course? Does he have a job? Does he have a cool apartment or a mansion somewhere? Like they throw these things out there because that's the only way their brains can kind of wrap around what's happening on the other side. But from my understanding, spirit is omnipresent. So they can have multiple. Like that's why Jesus is at everybody's near death experience, you know, because he could be at multiple places at the same time because his oversoul, if you will, and the same thing happens with us. Is that correct?
Terry Yoder
Yeah. I had a woman come through one time and say, now I can be anywhere I want, whenever I want, in as many places as I want at the same time.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Interesting.
Terry Yoder
Wow, that's incredible.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Well, it seems to be like the, the walking masters here. I've studied a lot of Eastern, Eastern thought, Eastern philosophies and yogic philosophies and that the yogis talked about biolocation, that they could be at two places at the same time. In the three dimensional world, that's kind of where you can be like, you don't. You can't do 400 of them, but you can maybe do one or two if your skills get to a certain place or a vibration frequency. Is that all makes sense to you? Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Terry Yoder
Absolutely. I'm not there yet, but I'm.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Never mind.
Terry Yoder
I'm working on it.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I'm actually in the other room running the cameras.
Terry Yoder
Wow. It's pretty amazing.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Amazing, isn't it? You've done how many readings in your lifetime?
Terry Yoder
Oh, Alex.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Thousands.
Terry Yoder
Thousands.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Thousands. What is one that just sticks out that is like either the most, the strangest, the funniest, or the most transformative or maybe all three, if you can think of the stories.
Terry Yoder
The first one that comes to me is I was reading for a fellow and he wanted to. He didn't like his job and he wanted to start. He had a dream of starting a pizza place. And I said, six blocks to the east and three blocks to the south on the corner is the perfect space. And he went and there was six Blocks east and three blocks south was a place for rent. And he opened a pizza store. And it was hugely successful for the duration. Wow.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I mean, pizza's good.
Terry Yoder
Pizza.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So that was a success story.
Terry Yoder
And a funny story is I, at that same house, I was doing a psychic readings for a group of people and every time the door would open, there would be this little face peeking through at me. And when it was, the day was over, the lady came in and she says, I know you're tired, but he is dying to ask you a question, this little four year old, three year old guy. And he comes running in and jumps up on my lap and he says, Mr. Psychic man, did you know I like pickles? That was his question. And you know, that was as important to him as what anybody else received that day. So I'm like, no, I did not know you like pickles, but now I do.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So it's a leading question.
Terry Yoder
Yes.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
If you're gonna ask a psychic that question, like, what's my favorite food? That's the way you present that question if you're testing them. Not like, do you know the pickles are my favorite food?
Terry Yoder
Right.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
I do now. Thank you for letting me know.
Terry Yoder
Right place. That's his little heart.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So. So, Terry, with all the craziness that's happening in the world and with all the changes are happening, what is, in your opinion, the best way people can kind of prepare themselves for the massive awakenings and changes of consciousness that are happening and will continue to happen for the years to come? What can we do? Because it can be overwhelming, the change. There's so much change so fast. I mean, AI is a perfect example. It's changing monthly, weekly. I mean, things that happened three months ago, you're like, well, that's old. It's fascinating. So that's just one aspect of it. But there's so much changes going on.
Terry Yoder
What do you think with me? I'm really working on not reacting. Because if you react, they've got you and going to that still, still soft place inside. And okay, this is what I'm feeling, this is what my reaction wants to do. But what is it that I'm supposed to do? What best for me to do? What am I supposed to be feeling about this? How am I supposed to act on this? Again, it's that connection to the consciousness. Instead of just going off and act.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Right, reacting, it's about going in, it's always about going within.
Terry Yoder
And this is the hardest place to go for a lot of people. It brought a lot of Trauma to the surface, of course.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
All the stuff that was door, anything.
Terry Yoder
That was dormant or shoved down it brought it it right to the top. Now you're hearing trauma, trauma, trauma, trauma, ptsd. These types of terms are being thrown around even more than ever.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
If spirit could talk directly to the audience listening right now, and who will be listening in the future? What message would would spirit like to give?
Terry Yoder
One of the biggest blocks with people in their ability to connect with others on the other side is emotion, not the physical things that happen. The disagreements, the upsets, the discords at the point of death. None of that exists. It's the emotions of the living, the grief, the anger, the fear that prevent people from connecting. But feel yourself to return to your heart, become reconnected to your source, and grow your own consciousness. Ask for clear discernment and take the necessary actions when it feels to be the correct time to do so. Exude love, joy, peace. Be patient and gentle and kind with one another. Beautifully said.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Beautifully said, Terry. Where can people find out more about you and the amazing work you're doing in the world?
Terry Yoder
I am@terryyoder.com that's T E R R Y-O- dash-E R dot com. You can get my phone number from there. You can schedule appointments there. I'm doing appointments. I also have spiritual classes coming up in January. So I do teach tarot. And I teach people in a way that they connect with their own intuition and read the cards their own way. There's not one way to do it. If there's 11 billion people on the planet, whatever. There's 11 billion pathways. So I try to tune in and allow people to grow and develop in their own way. So.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
Terryoder.com when you say tarot, the tarot, you say tarot. But is it tarot or tarot card?
Terry Yoder
I say tarot because I'm a French major.
Alex Ferrari
Got it.
Terry Yoder
Okay.
Interviewer (Alex Ferrari)
So I'll go along with it. Tarot cards, to my understanding, tarot cards are, you know, you shuffle them, you put them out, and then whatever you flip, you kind of like that's what spirit is trying to talk to whoever's reading them. So you get the death card, you know, the cups card or whatever the, you know, the golden cups or anything like that is. There is that kind of the way it works. And then if you're a psychic, you can actually read into it a little bit more.
Terry Yoder
How does that work when someone comes in? Well, I don't come in anymore, but when I do a reading, I. I mix the cards to clear all the messages off and then I ask the person to focus on what they want to know and then I mix in proxy for them and I ask them to tell me when to stop. That's how I get their interaction. When they tell me to stop, I lay the cards out on the table. Each position represents a certain factor of life. So present Present Surroundings Goal and destiny Hopes Wishes Dreams Fears Distant Past Recent past Near future near future Progressed near future Surroundings Progressed Emotions Final outcome Depending on what card falls in what position and closest to one another, it tells a story.
Alex Ferrari
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Guest: Terry Yoder (Psychic & Medium)
Host: Alex Ferrari
In this profound and heartfelt episode, Alex Ferrari sits down with psychic medium Terry Yoder to explore the evolution of humanity, spiritual awakening, psychic gifts, and what may be in store for us all in the year ahead. Drawing on Terry’s life journey, including his near-death experiences, spiritual awakening, and development as a medium, the conversation dives deep into the meaning of consciousness, handling negative energies, the challenge of humility, and the looming impact of technology and AI on the human spirit.
When asked about the primary challenges facing humanity, Terry names:
The conversation observes a rise of the divine feminine and notes a historical excess of masculine, conquering energy.
Technology, especially AI and digital distraction, risks disconnecting people from themselves and each other.
To withstand rapid change, especially with AI and related overwhelm, Terry recommends non-reactivity and inner reflection.
Spirit’s message for everyone:
On Spiritual Protection:
“Anything that cannot or will not walk in the light of Christ must depart now and God bless you. That usually does the trick.”
— Terry Yoder (15:27)
On the Purpose of Struggles:
“You’re never out of grace, but you’re permitted to be challenged and tested for your own ability to grow and learn.”
— Terry Yoder (17:18)
On Mediumship Misconceptions:
“I don’t do mediumship to glorify the devil or any negative force. I do it to help people and to glorify God.”
— Terry Yoder (40:15)
On Humanity’s Challenge:
“Humility. Connection to their own consciousness and their respect for one another.”
— Terry Yoder (43:31)
On How Technology Is Affecting Us:
“I think technology has done a lot of damage ... it’s distracted and taken the sensitivity out of people.”
— Terry Yoder (45:34)
On the Importance of Inner Work:
“It’s always about going within ... this is the hardest place to go for a lot of people.”
— Terry Yoder (66:13)
Spirit’s Closing Guidance:
“Exude love, joy, peace. Be patient and gentle and kind with one another.”
— Terry Yoder (66:42)
Terry offers a parting hope for all listeners:
“It’s my hope that everyone finds their way, that everyone sees their direction, that everyone finds their love, their joy, their hope, their peace, and that they share it.” (72:37)
