Manage episode 430593126 series 3583828
Ever felt your faith waver as life threw unexpected challenges your way? Join us as we explore a personal journey of spirituality, from a foundation of unwavering belief in childhood to the complexities of navigating faith amid life's trials and the discovery of one's sexuality. Reflecting on pivotal moments like the profound impact of a parent's passing, we discuss the often conflicting societal views on homosexuality and religion. We critique the selective outrage of some religious individuals while underscoring the importance of defining God and spirituality on one's own terms.
In an inspiring chat with Teresa, my dear friend and co-host, we unveil our new podcast venture aimed at guiding new seafarers through the ups and downs of maritime life. Teresa shares her incredible experiences working on a cruise ship, offering practical advice on hygiene, self-care, and staying balanced while at sea. From essential items to meditation tips, our conversation is packed with insights for anyone embarking on a maritime career and covers broader themes like relationships, financial well-being, and, of course, spirituality.
Inspired by Anita Moorjani's "Dying to Be Me," we delve into practical self-care tips and the spiritual connection needed to thrive in challenging environments. From dealing with judgment and negativity to embracing diversity and self-acceptance, we advocate for a compassionate and inclusive understanding of faith. Reflecting on God's unconditional love and the concept of being made in His image, we challenge the notion of exclusion based on sexuality and celebrate the inherent spirituality within us all. Tune in for an episode filled with heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a call for love and acceptance in your spiritual journey.
