God, Positive Thinking, and What It Really Means to Be Discerning

In this solo episode of Theo’s Coffee Break, I explore the tension between faith, toxic positivity, and real spiritual discernment.

What does it mean to be a person of hope without bypassing the hard stuff? How do we stay grounded in God’s goodness without gaslighting ourselves through suffering?

This isn’t just about “thinking good thoughts.” It’s about returning to YOU—your wisdom, your clarity, your intuition—and learning to trust that joy isn’t earned, it’s allowed.

If you’ve ever been told to “just have more faith” when you were breaking inside, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Theo's coffee table where the coffee is always on and warm.
