EP20: Q&A Session | Is Religion Needed for Spirituality? Discernment, Sacredness & Inner Truth
Description
In this short but powerful episode of the Greatness Glory Podcast, Kevin and I explore the timeless question: Do we need religion for spiritual growth? We discuss the tension between religion and spirituality, blind belief vs. discernment, and how to extract the core truths from any tradition while leaving behind dogma.We also dive into what sacredness really means, simple daily practices for inner peace, and why real spirituality is about discovering the divine within rather than depending on external systems. The conversation ends with reflections on technology, AI, and why true joy can only be found inside yourself.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & today’s question: Is religion needed?00:47 – Kevin on religion as government vs. spirituality01:29 – Isaac on blind belief vs. spiritual independence03:10 – Misunderstandings in Abrahamic religions & Sufi/Mystic persecution04:23 – Religion, conflict & the Middle East today06:00 – Why questioning scripture is essential for truth08:15 – Studying multiple religions to find the universal message10:30 – Rumi: “I took the core and left the skin for the donkeys”11:15 – Do we need theology to progress spiritually?11:48 – Simple practices: nature, silence & observing life13:44 – Kevin on creating sacredness at home14:35 – Sacredness as a vibration & inner state of being18:26 – Kevin on structure, Yeshua, and inward journeys20:17 – AI, spirituality & independence vs. external crutches25:00 – Suffering, duality & why evolution requires challenges28:15 – Joy, peace, and discovering happiness within29:45 – Closing remarks📘 Buy the book Art of Balance: https://amzn.to/4jAii7l🌐 Learn more / contact me: https://greatnessglory.com#GreatnessGloryPodcast #ReligionAndSpirituality #BlindFaith #Discernment #Sacredness #KevinWise #IsaacSian #AIAndSpirituality #Consciousness #Rumi #Mysticism #SpiritualGrowth #ArtOfBalance #InnerTruth #SelfRealization
