Born Again, Again: Life After Christianity
Manage episode 458202896 series 3567991
In this vibrant (and final - at least for now) episode of the Naughty By Nature podcast, Treen talks about reclaiming spirituality after leaving Evangelicalism. Joined by Spiritual Director and Somatic Practitioner Hailey Mitsui, they engage in an honest conversation about how their relationship with the Christian faith evolved.
They reflect on what was comfortable and safe about Evangelicalism and what parts of themselves they had to suppress in order to belong. Actor and comedian Jordan Hull, plays God, and taps into themes of polyamory, sharing how embracing one's true identity can lead to spiritual freedom.
Hailey discusses how the Indigenous wisdom tradition of Christianity was co-opted by empire, and shares her intention to try and heal the harm it has done. Together, the three of them explore the duality of grief and liberation that accompanies spiritual development and the need to foster communities that acknowledge and embrace the whole person.
With laughter, vulnerability, and a spirit of curiosity, Episode 7 invites us to reexamine our beliefs, especially the Christian ones. Treen and Hailey emphasize the importance of integrating all aspects of the self in a journey toward wholeness.
