In this episode, Clint and Rachelle unpack one of the biggest questions people ask after deconstructing faith: What is my purpose now?

They explore how the church taught purpose as a pressure-filled assignment—something to earn, prove, and perform for God—and how awakening reframes it as something to remember. Your purpose isn’t a role, title, or mission. It’s the unfolding of love and awareness through you, right now.

From reinterpreting Jeremiah 29:11 to discovering purpose through awakening, they challenge the idea of a divine “blueprint” and reveal why purpose is not something you chase, but something you allow. Along the way, they discuss healing the ego, integrating past versions of yourself, and how your old skills and experiences become breadcrumbs toward who you’re becoming.

✨ Purpose isn’t found through doing—it flows through being.
✨ You are the plan. You are the purpose.
✨ When you stop trying to find your purpose, you start living it.

Another raw and real update.

In this Unplugged episode, Clint and Rachelle share honestly about what it’s like to awaken together as a couple—sometimes out of sync, sometimes in harmony, but always learning. They reflect on their church past, how it shaped their ideas of success and provision, and how those ideas are being completely redefined through awakening.

This wide-ranging conversation covers the realities of supporting each other’s growth, the role of trauma in healing, and how sound frequencies and mindfulness can help release what the body holds.

They also respond to listener questions about Halloween, Satan, and demons—breaking down the history, dogma, and mystical perspectives, and reframing these as archetypes of ego, shadow, and separation. And they close by confronting the common accusation that “leaving church means leaving God,” showing why separation from the divine is not only a misconception but an impossibility.

✨ Awakening looks different for everyone, even in close relationships.
✨ Old fears of Satan, demons, and separation dissolve when seen as ego, shadow, and trauma.
✨ Church is an institution—you can leave it and still be deeply connected to God.

What if Adam’s “deep sleep” was more than a story—what if it was a metaphor for humanity’s unconsciousness?

In this episode of the Unchurching Podcast, Clint and Rachelle explore the journey of awakening and consciousness through the lens of Adam’s deep sleep in the Garden of Eden. They discuss how ego, trauma, and cultural conditioning keep us in patterns of unconscious living—and how awakening is about remembering our true connection to Source.

Together, they reflect on the illusion of separation, the role of the ego, and the importance of self-awareness, presence, and shadow work in the awakening journey.

✨ People are awakening and breaking out of conditioned molds.
✨ Separation from Source is an illusion—we are all interconnected.
✨ Awareness is the first step toward freedom and awakening.

What if the Holy Spirit was never outside of you—but always the voice of remembrance within?

In this episode of the Unchurching Podcast, Clint and Rachelle dive into the multifaceted nature of the Holy Spirit. They share personal experiences and cultural perspectives, explore how different denominations frame the Spirit, and discuss the neurobiology of worship and collective experience.

This conversation reframes the Holy Spirit—not as a distant force to be invited in, but as the inner guide, comforter, and reminder of oneness with God and with ourselves. Along the way, they unpack themes of fear, control, atonement, and mystical connection, ultimately pointing to the Spirit as a voice of awakening.

✨ You are not separate from God.
✨ The Spirit reminds us of who we truly are.
✨ Awakening is a journey of connection, not fear.

Fear is one of the most powerful tools religion has ever used.

In this episode of the Unchurching podcast, Clint and Rachelle take a raw look at how fear, doubt, and the devil have been woven into church life as mechanisms of control. They share personal stories of living under judgment, explore the historical roots of fear in Christianity, and unpack the contradictions between theology and love.

This conversation is both deeply personal and deeply practical: how fear manifests in our bodies, how it affects our mental health, and how awakening is the process of remembering who we truly are. Listeners are invited to question inherited beliefs, embrace authenticity, and discover that real community is built not on fear, but on love and connection.

✨ Fear is baked into theology.
✨ You are free to question.
✨ Constructed fear can be deconstructed.

What happens when church leaders awaken—and choose authenticity over performance?

In this episode of the Unchurching podcast, Clint sits down with David Trotter, former pastor and founder of Awakened magazine, for an honest conversation about life after church leadership and the expansive journey of awakening.

Together, they reflect on leaving behind old belief systems, embracing unconditional love, and discovering the transformative power of curiosity and plant medicine.

This dialogue between two former church leaders is an invitation into safety, love, and a broader spirituality—one that goes far beyond the confines of religious structures.

✨ Curiosity is a gift from God.
✨ You can try on new beliefs for a day.
