Explore the intersection of faith and mental health in this candid episode, where we discuss how to build a personal spiritual path that honors your journey without the constraints of judgment or societal expectations.

From examining the balance of faith versus performance to cultivating a community without conformity, we dive deep into practices that genuinely support your mental health.

Join us for a lively conversation about embracing doubt, humor, and honesty in your spiritual life.

We cover the evolving nature of faith as a personal practice, the struggle between control and growth, and the importance of holding space for mystery instead of clinging to certainty.

Get ready to leap into real-life faith that's messy, authentic, and free from performative aspects.

Write the most honest belief you hold today and one small practice that supports it—share both on our Discord "The Struggle Bus." We promise not to judge you... UNLIKE like the others! (link below)
