Episode 2 – Who Told You You Were Broken?
Subtitle: Unlearning the Shame-Based Faith We Inherited
Host: James Kiger | Real Without Religion

What if the most damaging belief you ever held… wasn’t about God—but about you?

In this episode of Real Without Religion, we pull back the curtain on shame-based spirituality and ask the big question: Who told you you were broken? James shares stories, scripture, and a bold reframe of your divine identity—one that starts not with sin, but with wholeness.

You’ll hear:
 🧠 Why your programming—not your soul—is what needs healing
 📖 How religious language distorted your self-worth
 🎶 A hilarious but honest look at old hymns (hello, “worm theology”)
 🧩 What the Bible really says about your worth
💭 How beliefs like “I’m not enough” silently sabotage your life
🔥 And why letting go of a caricatured God is the beginning of spiritual freedom

This episode also introduces “From the Bookshelf,” featuring metaphysical trailblazer Florence Scovel Shinn, and her life-changing reminder: “Your word is your wand.”

What if the version of God you were taught to fear… was never real to begin with?

In this very first episode of Real Without Religion, we begin the journey of letting go of a fear-based faith without losing the divine. James shares his own story—former pastor turned spiritual seeker—and invites you to question the systems you were handed, not your worth.

You’ll hear about:
🔹 The painful but powerful process of leaving religious systems
🔹 Why questioning isn't rebellion—it's awakening
🔹 A fresh perspective on God, inspired by Spinoza, Einstein, and inner truth
🔹 How your beliefs about God shape your entire life
🔹 And how to start manifesting a new world by healing your faith

This is a safe space for the spiritually curious, the deconstructing, the disillusioned—and anyone ready to reclaim their connection to the divine without dogma.

🌀 Question of the Week: If you could believe in any version of God, what would that God be like?
