Spiritual (mostly) discussions while drinking spirits.
Episodes
In this episode, Ron talks about growing up with feelings of not being accepted, or measuring up, and then refusing to tolerate those same feelings within the confines of religion. Nate shares that he believes true peace is found when you're able to just be who you are, and that begins with accepting yourself.
As Ron says, "I'm a little bit enlightenment, and a little bit 'go f*ck yourself.'"

Ron talks about being raised Methodist as a kid, and also going to Catholic mass with his grandmother. He became spiritually curious as he grew older, and found out one of his buddy's father was a born-again Christian. They invited him to their church where he attended for a while. From there, he attended a trinitarian 'holiness' full gospel church until he was in his early 20s and decided to leave the church for a p...

Nate shares how he recently visited a local pagan market with various vendor booths set up - and for clarification, pagan doesn't mean blood sacrifices, but a rather broad spectrum of non-christians.
There were many craftsmen present - wood workers, jewelry makers, bakers, food trucks and various other booths. There was also a booth with members from the Houston church of satan (followers of the satanic bible by Ant...

We wrap up part 4 of Celeste's questions by discussing that attachment brings suffering & pain, so your ego must 'die daily', as Paul said. If you've followed our podcast for a while, you'll find this is not a new topic, as many things circle back to this concept.

We dive into part 3 of listener questions:
"Do souls actually choose a plan to incarnate and live a life of pure evil? To torture and rape and murder the innocent, to wreak unspeakable horrors and take delight in these things? Is this a sick, twisted version of "ordered steps"?
Or could it be the human spirit was rotten and overrode the soul's plan? Or maybe evil humans operate without a soul l...
We dive into part 2 of listener questions:
"The Bible makes the distinction several times between the soul and the spirit. Is the spirit our "human spirit", the fleshly part of us that has inherited DNA which defines our very characteristics? Can this human spirit make choices not in alignment with the soul's plan? (In church speak this would have been considered "out of the will of god").
I've always been very much an individual who believes in free will. That there are good and bad consequences to every decision I make. That I'm ultimately in charge of where my path leads.
You speak of "ordered steps", which is also referenced in scripture. This sounds like predestination, which eliminates personal choice.
I've heard Dolores Cannon say that before your incarnation, you pl...
We discuss how its harder, but more rewarding, to work out your own spirituality (without it becoming legalism); how it's easy to follow someone else's laundry list of do's/don'ts & be spoon-fed their version of 'god' but it shortchanges our souls; that being surrounded by nature is its own kind of 'church'; and that sometimes you just need to be able to let a good 'curse word' ...
Amanda talks about dreams of past lives; her spiritual (supernatural) abilities, even as a small child, that were hidden rather than celebrated; her first invitation to attend a small group reading by a Medium, and how a beyond-the-grave apology brought her and her husband joy and peace rather than fear.
