For centuries, many of us have inherited spiritual beliefs without ever asking whether they truly resonate with our hearts.
What happens when we begin asking deeper questions?
In this thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with spiritual teacher, minister, and founder of the Academy for Spiritual Awakening, David Hulse, to explore what it means to move beyond fear-based religion into a direct experience of the Divine.
Together we discuss:
✨ The difference between religion and spirituality
✨ Why awakening often begins with discomfort
✨ Childhood beliefs that quietly shape our lives
✨ Healing emotional and energetic patterns
✨ Why breakdowns often precede breakthroughs
✨ Divine consciousness versus ego consciousness
✨ The hidden wisdom behind ancient spiritual teachings
✨ How love—not fear—becomes the foundation for true transformation
Whether you come from a religious background, consider yourself spiritual but not religious, or are simply searching for greater peace and authenticity, this conversation invites you to explore your own inner knowing with curiosity and compassion.
