info_outlineThis is a rewind episode (Season 1 Episode 7). We hope you enjoy it! Happy Holidays to you and your family. See you in the New Year! Love, Sammy and Jen
---------
In this episode, we are talking about Millennial SPIRITUALITY! First, we'll take a look at some interesting stats about American adults and their religions (or lack thereof). Then we will dive deep into a heartfelt and vulnerable discussion about our past and present relationships with spirituality, religion, and faith.
Man, this felt like a hard episode to do. Both Sammy and I don't like being "outsiders", and to be honest, in this current world, whatever stance you find yourself taking, you are just never going to be "enough" for someone else.
I was worried about being too Christian for some, and not enough for others... Sammy was worried about being judged on her current stance on religion and spirituality. And what I come to on that is... we'll never make everyone happy... and the hope is that just one person who listens to this, feels seen...and if that one person is feeling something missing, that they feel encouraged to just open up a dialogue with God (or greater power, if that word makes you uncomfortable).
...And most importantly, that it can be messy, and imperfect... because in all honesty, what meaningful relationships AREN'T messy and imperfect?
I hope this episode, which was truly incredibly vulnerable for both of us to record, finds you well.
Much love,
Jen and Sammy

In this episode we’ll cover:
- Religion vs. Spirituality - Pew Research Stats, our own perspectives

- What "seeking" looked like to us
- Our favorite show right now :-p
Resources mentioned in "Millennial Spirituality"
- The Chosen- just go watch the Chosen...whether you're a Christian or not... it's incredible. It's completely free to watch! Sammy's main goal in life right now is to share this show with EVERYONE! :P
- And Still, She Laughs: Defiant Joy in the Depths of Suffering - by Kate Merrick
- Crossroads Church in Buellton, CA (if you're local, I can't recommend them enough!)
- Reality Church- (there are other churches now besides just Carpinteria - there are churches in LA, Stockton, Ventura, San Fran, Santa Barbara, London, Honolulu, and Boston!)
- Article in Pew Research on 3 in 5 adults now feeling religiously unaffiliated
- If you are interested in reading more in the Bible, I (Jen) have loved the Bible Recap...a quick podcast episode each day that breaks down in laymen's terms a piece of the bible that you read for that day. And for good measure, because I honestly find the old testament somewhat confusing (and Sammy finds it somewhat dark)... I might even suggest starting with the book of John. But, you do you!
