Do you find it hard to believe everything your church says you should believe and nothing that you shouldn't? Do you struggle with the lines of right and wrong, in and out, that are drawn in most religious communities? Do find yourself embracing ideas, questions, and beliefs that don't fit into the tight doctrinal boxes of your religion? Have you ever thought to yourself, "If they knew what I really think, they would label me a heretic"? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then maybe it's time to embrace your heretical self, and recognise that a heretic is really just someone who chooses for themselves.

Not everyone who follows their religion's doctrines has a good faith. And not everyone who chooses for themselves what to believe has a bad faith. Authentic, life-giving spirituality is not defined so much by what we believe as by how we believe.

In this week's podcast, we explore why everyone in the world is a heretic, how to get comfortable with your own heretical ways, and how to live as a heretic while ensuring that your spirituality is good and not bad.
