Transcript

Have you ever felt like fear had more control over you than love ever did?

That religion taught you more about punishment than peace.

Today we're Unchurching that and returning to love as your grounding truth.

Welcome to Unchurching the podcast,

A space for healing religious trauma,

Reclaiming your voice,

And awakening to the God of your own understanding.

I am Titus Glenn,

Rev.

Aden Amola,

Your spiritual deconstruction coach,

And today we're talking about being grounded in love.

One of the silent effects of religious trauma is this subconscious belief that love is something we must earn,

That we must behave a certain way,

Believe a certain thing,

Or suppress our full humanity just to be accepted.

Let's Unchurch that.

You were never meant to be afraid of God.

You were meant to feel safe in the presence of love.

And yet so many of us were taught a version of God that was quick to judge,

Distant and conditional.

But love,

True divine love,

Is a performance based.

It doesn't say be perfect and I'll bless you.

It says you're already worthy,

Already seen,

Already held.

To be grounded in love is to allow your roots to grow deep into acceptance,

Not fear,

Into grace,

Not guilt.

And this isn't just spiritual fluff.

It's necessary because if we're not grounded in love,

We'll stay grounded in survival,

In anxiety,

In striving,

In trying to prove our worth to a God who already knows us.

Today,

Let's remember you don't have to earn love.

You already are love.

So say this with me.

I'm grounded in love.

Love is my foundation.

Fear cannot shake me.

Say it again.

Feel it in your body.

I'm grounded in love.

Love is my foundation.

Fear cannot shake me.

Let that anchor you today.
