Episode 169: Developing Personal Spiritual Authority
People often come to me spinning about their specific religion or church’s doctrine. They wonder if what they’re doing is right or wrong, or if what they're feeling or believing is okay. This reliance on other people is especially rampant around sexual decisions.
The problem with trusting other people, whether that’s a specific leader, congregation, or organization, is that you’ll often get differing or contradicting opinions. Maybe your church has changed its stance on a certain topic, or teaches something differently to how it used to. This is an exhausting and defeating place to be, and it’s incredibly disempowering.
Join me on this episode to learn what it means to develop your personal spiritual authority and why it matters more than you might think. I’m showing you what to do if you find yourself leaning on others to tell you what’s good or best for your life, examples of subtle spiritual abuse, and how to recognize the depth of your connection to your highest, most spiritual self.
