A Spiritual Path Without Church | Why Leaving Church Doesn’t Mean Leaving Spirituality

For those of us who have left the church, the message is clear: we are not lost, and we are not looking for a way back.

Yet, in deconstructing spaces, the loudest voices still belong to the churched. We are treated as a project to fix, an enigma to understand, or a problem to solve. But the truth is, many of us left because we saw the harm church as an institution perpetuates—patriarchy, white supremacy, homophobia, power abuses, and spiritual manipulation.

This episode is not an argument—it is a declaration. I am unchurched. I am not broken. I am spiritually independent.

For those who have walked away and felt pressure to return, your path is sacred. Listen in as we reclaim the space of the unchurched and challenge the idea that church is the only place where spirituality can thrive.
