One of the core tenets across most religions and spiritual practices around the globe is being a more generous person. We unlock our greatest potential when our attitudes, thoughts, actions, and beliefs contribute positively to society. To do that, we also need to work through personal challenges, which requires awareness, humility and faith. That way, we can share what we've learned and help others in their difficulties.

In difficult moments, faith is what keeps traditionally religious and spiritual folks going. Whether it's faith in God or the Universe, the belief that something or someone is out there looking out for us is good enough for most to try and tackle the problem. In this episode, as they explore the necessity of holding on to your inner truths, Robert and Dave expand upon Christianity, the Western World's dominant religion and its emphasis on complete and utter faith.

But what happens if your faith is not the same as the one you're expected to have? To put it simply, what if you don't agree with some aspects of your religion or don't see eye to eye with certain practices? Suppressing your authentic beliefs might leave you feeling isolated, and unwittingly cut off from your community.

What then is the value of remaining true to your authentic beliefs? Why develop a more inclusive faith, understanding, and honest communication with yourself and others? When you take the best, most helpful parts of most religions and take responsibility to apply those to the world, you will be motivated to use those learnings to help others. In this way, you will gain clarity about your faith, potentially inspire teachers and leaders to be more curious and receptive, and set a better example by weaving your religious beliefs into doing good for the world.
