What kind of faith are we being asked to follow? The kind that draws us deeper into love, or the kind that demands our compliance and silence?
In this episode, we explore how religion has been used to enforce obedience and control, often in the name of purity or prophecy. From colonial history to modern-day politics, faith has too often been weaponized to divide. But spirituality rooted in love doesn't coerce - it invites. It doesn't demand certainty - it welcomes mystery.
This is an invitation to notice the difference between "power over" and "power with." To question the stories that shut us down and return to the sacred impulse that moves us toward truth, compassion, and love.
