Summary
The problem with trusting other people, whether that’s a specific leader, congregation, or organization, is that you’ll often get differing or contradicting opinions. This is an exhausting and defeating place to be, and it’s incredibly disempowering.
Learn what it means to develop your personal spiritual authority and why it matters more than you might think. I show you what to do if you find yourself leaning on others to tell you what’s good or best for your life, examples of subtle spiritual abuse, and how to recognize the depth of your connection to your highest, most spiritual self.

| 0:49.5 | completely, completely understand and is a normal thing to do, is people will come to me wondering about their specific religion and their specific religion's doctrine or their specific churches opinion on everything if it's right, if it's wrong. |
| 1:07.1 | Well, this is what I'm feeling. |
| 1:08.5 | This is what I'm believing. |
| 1:10.0 | This is what it's working for me. But is it |

| 1:29.8 | trying to quit porn, which, you know, we don't teach, which doesn't work. And some churches, |
| 1:36.2 | you know, they have really clear stances on specific things. Others won't. What you'll find is |
