  • Deconstructing Dogma To Find The Divine w/ Adam Allred & Sam Fenton

    Deconstructing Dogma To Find The Divine w/ Adam Allred & Sam Fenton
    Oct 15 2025
    What’s the difference between religion and spirituality—and does one even matter without the other? In this collab episode, I sit down with Adam Allred and Sam Fenton of the "Who Started This Fire?" Youtube channel to have one of the most controversial conversations yet.

    Raised in the LDS (Mormon) church, Adam, Sam, and I share our personal spiritual journeys and debate whether organized religion is a pathway to God or a roadblock to real truth.

    We then tackle the bigger picture: Is God a loving father or just a projection of our own ideals? We confront the “problem of evil,” challenge the Bible’s idolization, and revisit Jesus’s radical message—that the kingdom of God is within us. We point out how spiritual experiences happen across religions, making it impossible to claim exclusivity without dismissing billions of people’s encounters with the divine.

    From Eastern vs. Western worldviews to the shame-heavy “deficiency model” of Christianity, we break down how religion often convinces people they’ll never measure up, while spirituality invites people to remember their divinity.

    We wrestle with how to raise kids with values and structure without indoctrination, acknowledging that religion provides order but can suffocate if it claims to be the only truth. This episode isn’t just about deconstructing religion—it’s about reclaiming spiritual sovereignty.

    It’s about the courage to question, to search, and to embrace a path that honors truth above dogma. Whether you’re still in church, far outside it, or somewhere in between, this conversation will force you to ask: Are you living your faith, or just outsourcing it?

  • Religion vs Spirituality: Why Real Faith Is Always In Crisis

    Religion vs Spirituality: Why Real Faith Is Always In Crisis
    Oct 7 2025
    "Faith is a living thing precisley because it walks hand in hand with doubt."

    The founders of almost all spiritual paths have taught to "ask and ye shall recieve, seek and ye shall find." But somewhere along the way, an institution is created and conformity becomes the norm.

    We have seen and felt how fear, pride, and even certainty can weaken our faith and make it difficult to feel an actual relationship with the Divine. As we share our stories, we hope that it helps anyone who is seeking and finding God in places that they might not have expected. And that your faith is strengthened no matter where you feel called to stand!

    Beyond the dogma and doctrine, God is waiting to have a direct experience with you. To be in real relationship with you. And that will come only as you step more into your freedom of choice and tune into what that still small voice is telling you to do specifically.

    At a time where the whole world is waking up to thier individual sovereignty, this conversation needs to be happening in the halls of churches and communities as we come together to bring heaven to earth.

    Is your self-discipline actually causing your self-destruction? Could the grind be hindering the growth in your life? Has toxic masculinity quietly corrupted our views on taking action, and even our views about ourselves as men?

    Plant Medicine Mormons: Where Faith Meets Psychedelics
    Sep 10 2024
    Get ready for the most controversial episode yet! And one that many people might need today.

    My wife Rachel and I dive deep into the reality of our ever-evolving faith as we navigate through life. While being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are also strong advocates for the safe and intentional use of plant medicine. Rather than focus on the scientific studies of psychedelics, we share from the lens of our experience: that these are spiritual substances.

    We honor the Indigenous traditions that steward these medicines and credit how their knowledge is needed in today's world. We answer some questions of the soul around how these additional tools could fit into a westernized religious paradigm. As we discuss our own journey, we hope that some of it may resonate with people that might be feeling called to these aids for themselves or for others.

    This episode is to begin the discussion! Rachel and I share openly solely to help others that might feel like nothing else is working for them to feel better. We love you. God loves you. And He has given us many paths that lead to the one Truth. Enjoy!
