The New Thought Movement

The Joey Bolognone Podcast

The Power of Positive Thinking - Mindcure - Prosperity Theology - Self Care - These ideas have shaped the landscape of America over the last two centuries and caused incredible success and frightening philosophies since their inception. But where did these ideas come from? What caused Americans to be obsessed with self-mastery and human potential? Start Here, with the New Thought Movement!

Christianity, Politics, Religious Organizations and Capitalism all experienced immense influence from the New Thought Movement and America's desire for self-mastery. How much potential actually lies within the human mind? And is the pursuit of mental ascent a biblical idea? Is it godly to seek supernatural connections with the human mind? How exactly do we navigate the secular and biblical interests of how the metaphysical and he physical interact with each other? We take a brief look through history at the key players and ideas that existed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries contributing to these ideas and their influence in American history and theology.
