Spirituality vs. Religion: How a Higher Power Got Hijacked
I’m not “religious”, but I absolutely believe in a higher power. In this episode, we dive into how political forces and religious institutions warped something pure into a tool for control.
From the Council of Nicaea’s power plays to pagan holidays rebranded as Christian, from ancient myths woven into the Bible to centuries of religious wars, what we think of as “Christianity” today is a remix designed for empire, not spirit.
We also talk synchronicity, those wild, meaningful coincidences that hint there’s more going on beneath the surface, and why you don’t need a barcode faith or institutional permission to feel connected to the divine.
This is an open, honest conversation, not to offend, but to explore: what is God, really? And how do we connect with the higher power outside the control of corrupted systems?
