What does it mean to lead with faith in a world full of noise, pressure, and spiritual confusion? In this episode of Earth Xperience, the host welcomes Delisa (@faithandsparklesworld), a single mother, veteran, and leadership coach, for a thoughtful conversation on motherhood, identity, and the real meaning of spiritual power.

Together, they explore how Delisa’s relationship with God evolved through parenting, adventure, and purpose-driven leadership. Her reflections reveal how belief is not just about words or traditions but about the intention and soul behind them. The conversation flows into questions of religious conditioning, the spiritual cost of colonialism, and how Black communities have preserved ancestral strength within modern faith practices.

The episode features a game called Our Thought, Their Thought, or Remix, where Delisa responds to bold statements like “Free will is an illusion,” “Vegetarianism is about moral superiority,” and “To be in love doesn’t mean you’re happy.” Through this format, listeners are invited to think critically, revisit their beliefs, and explore whether truth lies in agreement, opposition, or somewhere in between.

This is a soul-stretching conversation for anyone questioning the rules they've inherited, especially those navigating faith, parenting, and leadership in complex cultural landscapes.

Reflection Questions from the episode:

• Do we really choose our beliefs, or are we shaped by our environment?

• Can you call on a name with no power if there’s no belief behind it?

• How does a parent’s purpose influence their child’s future?

• What parts of our spiritual identity are borrowed, suppressed, or reclaimed?

• Are words powerful because of meaning, or because of what we carry into them?
