We explore the tension between organized religion as a protective filter and as a potential barrier to direct divine encounter.

• Examining Carl Jung's quote that "formalized religion protects people against a direct experience of God"
• Unpacking Moses' request to see God's glory in Exodus 33
• Understanding that God shows Moses His back but not His face—protection from what humans cannot handle
• Becoming "nose blind" to the presence of God when we're immersed in it daily
• Recognizing our own flaws and limitations, just as Moses had anger issues that kept him from the promised land
• Sharing personal weekend challenges that revealed God's protection even amid frustration
• Noticing divine patterns that shift our perspective from complaints to gratitude
