https://youtube.com/shorts/lFLDtb7JEz0

This short explores the phrase "God loves you anyway," highlighting how it can be misconstrued to imply God's love exists despite who you are, rather than affirming your inherent worth. We discuss how this differs from understanding "god is love" as a revelation of your "true self" and "identity." 🙏

This short explores Hebrews 12:25-27, emphasizing that God is shaking both the earth and the heavens. It suggests that many spiritual ideas, while technically true, can be egoistic scaffolding that doesn't address deeper consciousness or true spiritual growth. We examine how to discern genuine spirituality beyond surface-level concepts. 🙏

In this short we discuss, does simply believing something about God, even from scripture or a trusted teacher, truly lead to deep change? Can our beliefs sometimes hinder our experience of God, preventing a deeper connection to our personal spirituality and self knowledge? Is true spirituality more about the level of "being" we inhabit rather than just beliefs?
