Faith & Mental Health | Finding Spirituality Without Judgment
Manage episode 490499999 series 3664570
How to build your own spiritual path—with doubt, humor, and honesty—without the costume or the court of public opinion or religious labels.
A candid mental health episode on faith vs. performance, community without conformity, and practices that actually support you.
Content note: explicit language; religious critique.
If you’re struggling (U.S.): Call/Text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7).
Episode focus: taking faith off the stage and into real life—choosing practices that help your mental health, holding room for mystery, and skipping the performative stuff.
We cover:
- Faith as personal practice—messy, evolving, not a script
- Control vs. growth—when religion helps and when it traps
- Community without conformity—belonging that doesn’t cost your self
- Humor as a barrier when beliefs clash
- Embracing mystery instead of pretending certainty
