Welcome back to Take Me to Church, where we explore spirituality beyond traditional boundaries. This episode dives into the timeless human struggle between truth and deception, drawing from the biblical story of Cain and Abel in Genesis. Through this foundational narrative, we examine themes of morality, inherited flaws, and the choices that define us.

But the discussion doesn’t stop there. We also reflect on the broader pressures shaping our world today—the difficulty of speaking authentically in a society that often silences bold voices. Drawing wisdom from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, we explore Stoic principles of duty, resilience, and personal fulfillment, showing how ancient philosophy intersects with spiritual thought. The episode concludes with the St. Michael prayer, offering protection and strength in times of uncertainty.

With Take Me to Church, there are no restrictions—just open exploration of faith, philosophy, and the human experience. If you’re ready to question assumptions and engage with sacred texts in a new way, join me for this thought-provoking episode.

Lots of Love <3
