Having a faith crisis can be difficult and lonely. It's not easy to leave your church and tell your family — especially if you feel like you've been betrayed by your beliefs.

But a faith crisis can also be graceful. It doesn't have to be a road filled with anger, bitterness, and resentment. And it can actually bring you closer with God too.

In this episode, I'm sharing how to have a graceful faith crisis and why it's okay to ditch bad beliefs that are no longer serving you (even though it's a tough decision).

Here Are The Show Highlights:

• How to leave your faith (without feeling guilt, shame, or resentment) (14:16)
• Why raising your kids both with and without religion will make them smarter and more successful (18:31)
• How "my way or the highway" reasoning with religion manipulates you with fear (19:28)
• The oddball reason why God might prefer atheists over strong believers (26:31)
• Why it's okay to leave your church or faith if it's making you miserable (27:40)

Taste buds are a lot like beliefs. They change over time. And they give us a "flavor" for how we experience food and life.

Most people believe the lie that you need an underlying "why" to be successful. This sends people down the wrong path — they think becoming a better person will help them make more money.

The truth is you don't need to understand something to get results. You just have to do the work.

From childhood, we have fed our minds with different beliefs to help us get through life. Some beliefs empower us, while others slowly wreck our lives.

Whatever you plant in your mind grows. If you think you're not good enough, that little seed can blossom into a giant field in your mind and make you think you're a failure. But when you actually dissect your life, you'll realize you have never failed once.

In this episode, I'm revealing why you've never failed. That way, you can burn these bad beliefs from your head and live a happier, more peaceful life filled with incredible success.

We take sound for granted. When we hear something, we don't give ourselves enough credit — but we're the one creating the sound! Otherwise, it would only be vibrations.

I've noticed a lot of support groups zeroing in on being addicted to lust. The trouble with thinking you're addicted to lust is that lust doesn't exist — it's simply an experience.

Most people try to solve their problems by simply talking about them. But this only deals with your thinking brain — not your sensing or feeling brain.

That's why you can talk endlessly about all your problems, but you can't kick the root cause of why you feel that way.

If you want to actually remove these problems from your system for good, you need to hack all 3 parts of your brain.

In this episode, I'm sharing how you can rewire all 3 areas of your brain so you can experience true freedom for the first time since your childhood.

Here Are The Show Highlights:

• Why affirmations won't improve your life and usually backfire on you and derail your confidence (1:45)
• How giving yourself a pep talk creates more doubt in your mind (2:53)
• Why your problems can't go away by only talking about them (and what to do instead) (10:39)
• The counterintuitive reason that thinking you're NOT a failure proves that you believe you are (11:08)
• How silly childhood thoughts "taint" your belief system as an adult (14:53)
• The weird way your assumptions make life harder for you (16:07)
• How to hack your 3 brains and strangle your most traumatic memories to transform them into positive experiences (18:30)

Religion is supposed to lift you up. But too often, we fall into the trap of letting authority figures indoctrinate us — whether it comes from religion, a 12-step program, or something else.

Falling into this trap makes finding true happiness impossible.

Why?

Because every person on the planet is unique and needs unique solutions to fix their problems. If you find something that works for you, use it. If it doesn't, move on to another solution.

In this episode I'm revealing why so many people fall into this indoctrination trap, how to free yourself from it, and how to add God into your life regardless of what you're doing.

Here Are The Show Highlights:

• Why thinking that true happiness can only come from religion is a recipe for misery (4:59)
• The insidious way worrying that something won't work actually causes it to not work (7:40)
• How authority figures indoctrinate you and make true happiness impossible (9:32)
• Why you don't necessarily need God to improve your mental health (10:19)
