Episode 206 - Spiritual… According to Which Kingdom? | Lies We Believe Series
What does it really mean to be “spiritual”? In today’s culture, spirituality can mean meditation, manifestation, energy work, mindfulness, or simply being open and expansive. But not everything labeled spiritual comes from the same source. In this episode of The Vibrant Living Podcast, I continue the Lies We Believe series by exploring a foundational truth: there are not infinite spiritual paths. There are two kingdoms. The Kingdom of Light operates through a relationship with God, surrender, and divine authority. The counterfeit kingdom imitates what God created but operates through technique, control, and human will as ultimate authority. This conversation is not about fear. It is about clarity. When you understand source, authority, and purpose, you regain spiritual discernment and alignment. In This Episode, You’ll Hear: • Why the word “spiritual” means different things depending on who is using it • How deception often appears enlightened rather than dark • The difference between relationship-based faith and technique-based spirituality • Three diagnostic questions to help you discern source and authority • Why Jesus being “the way” is not about restriction, but protection A Question to Reflect On When did your definition of “spiritual” begin to shift? And what disappointment or experience influenced that shift? Discernment begins with honesty.
