In this thought-provoking episode of The Vancrux Podcast, I sit down with Justin McSweeny to explore a timeless question — do you need religion to be spiritual?
Together, we dive into the heart of human belief: the tension between structure and freedom, doctrine and direct experience, faith and consciousness. Justin shares his unique perspective on spirituality without labels — how true connection to the divine or higher awareness doesn’t necessarily require an organised faith, and how religion, at its core, may simply be one of many paths to the same destination.
The discussion unfolds through personal stories, philosophical reflections, and psychological insights — exploring themes of inner truth, ego transcendence, and the search for meaning in a world that often feels divided between science and spirit.
By the end of this episode, you’ll see spirituality not as a set of rules, but as a state of being — a living relationship with something greater than yourself.
