What kind of spiritual person wouldn’t want to consider themselves good? The concept of “good” is an interesting one, because in our minds, if we aren’t good, we must be bad. And spiritual people work very hard not to be bad — at least not intentionally.
But here’s the thing: when the ego gets attached to anything, including being good, it can mean doing what others will approve of rather than fully following our truth. And that’s where things get sticky, because the ego will do its darnedest to keep that hidden from us. It will tell us that our neutrality is good because it keeps the peace — and it won’t let us recognize the harm that neutrality is actually causing.
In this powerful follow-up to Part 1, we go deeper into one of history’s most overlooked stories — how power has quietly shaped the spiritual traditions billions of people hold sacred. Through my own faith journey, I came to recognize that what most of us were taught is only part of the picture, and that the missing pieces change everything. If you’ve ever sensed a tension between the faith you were raised in and the truth you feel in your heart, this episode will give language to something you may have known for a long time.
For a long time, I hid behind something that felt virtuous — the belief that being spiritual meant I didn’t have to engage with the chaos of the world around me. In this episode I get honest about the three ways that belief left me genuinely naive, and how the moment I stopped trying to keep myself safe inside that identity was the moment everything shifted. Because being spiritual was never meant to be a refuge from the world. It was meant to give you the clarity, the courage, and the compassion to show up for it — imperfectly, honestly, and with your whole heart.
Power-over dynamics are showing up everywhere right now — in our world, in our personal relationships, and in our workplaces. This is no accident. What we are collectively being invited to see is that what we’ve long been taught to call “winning” is actually a lose-lose proposition in disguise. This week, you’re invited to deepen your understanding of what’s really happening beneath the surface of conflict so you can stop playing a game that was never designed for anyone to truly win.
The tenderness you may be feeling right now is not accidental — it is a signal of the sacred. As we enter Holy Week, we are being mirrored an ancient truth: that transformation requires a kind of death before new life can emerge. In this episode, we explore resurrection through a lens that reaches far beyond religion, drawing on the timeless parallel stories of Jesus and the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna — two figures separated by thousands of years, yet walking the same path of vulnerability, surrender, and return.
