This week we are diving into open and closed religions and how they segway into open and closed practices.  That might have been added to people’s religious or spiritual practices without knowing or further research being done, especially with the influence of social media and things becoming popular and influenced in our feeds.  This episode is to encourage people to do their research instead of following blindly into a situation.
