"Leaving the Church Doesn't Mean I'm Not Spiritual" with Jim Larkin

In this episode of Unburdened, Trevor and Carey welcome Jim Larkin, a former minister who shares his journey of spiritual transformation. Growing up in a deeply religious family, Jim followed a conformist path, eventually entering ministry despite lingering questions about his faith. A pivotal moment during his ministry led him to reflect on his beliefs and step away from the church, finding a new spiritual expression through Kabbalah and interfaith work.

Now a life coach, Jim helps others navigate transitions and heal from spiritual wounds, offering insights into reclaiming personal authenticity and spirituality. He also leads programs like Healing Your Spiritual Wounds, creating safe spaces for individuals to explore and redefine their spiritual paths. 

We discussed: 

• The pressure and expectations of being a minister’s child. 

• Struggles with indecisiveness and people-pleasing.

• The impact of leaving organized religion on personal identity. 

•  Rediscovering spirituality outside traditional frameworks.

•  Balancing personal desires with community expectations.
