Spiritual, Not Religious

In this episode of Spiritual Not Religious, hosts Shawn Winburn, Mollie June Miller, and James Henry dive into the roadblocks that hinder faith journeys, particularly for young adults navigating spirituality outside traditional religious spaces. They discuss how rigid theology, church hurt, and institutional barriers often push the spiritually curious away—and explore ways to reimagine faith communities as spaces of openness, belonging, and authentic conversation. Drawing from personal experiences, theological reflections, and insights from authors like Mark Matlock and Michael Beck, they challenge the church to shift from exclusionary practices to an invitational model of faith. Join the conversation as they unpack what it means to cultivate a spiritual “garden” where doubt, curiosity, and deep questions are embraced rather than dismissed.
