  • The reality of our daily experience of healing

 

Belonging Podcast with Becca Piastrelli

Belonging to Spirit after Leaving Patriarchal Christianity

In this podcast, my friend Becca Piastrelli and I speak about my complicated relationship with patriarchal Christianity and moving through a fear of engaging with Spirit in a different way.

I talk about my past as an evangelical Christian, once on the path to becoming a pastor, and my journey to deep spirituality. Together we examine examining each of our desires to explore spirituality and divinity and freedom of others to express their relationship to spirit in whatever way feels right for them, while at the same time recognizing that Christianity perpetuates incredibly harmful and oppressive systems within our world.

This episode isn’t an “anti-Christianity” call-out, but just as we examine our relationships with White Supremacy, and Colonization, and Cultural Appropriation, and Racism, and the ways our ancestors have, we have, and we still do perpetuate these things, Barbara and I invite you to gently begin to examine your belief systems with self-compassion so that we aren’t continuing to hand down the harmful aspects that have spiraled out of these institutions.
