Listen "Episode 7 The Need for the Sacred"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when we let go of religion?
Do we shed an outdated system of control, or do we lose something more profound—an anchor, a language for meaning, a map of the mysterious?
As more and more people walk away from religious institutions, we’re left with big questions. What fills the space that religion once held? What do we really mean when we say we’re seeking something spiritual, not religious? And how do we live in a world where the sacred is no longer assumed, but must be chosen?
Today, on Soul Curious, we explore “The Need for the Sacred”—why we long for it, what we risk without it, and how a renewed sacred imagination might guide us forward.
