About this episode.How to see God & Country differently by applying universal spirituality.IntroIntroduction musicTeaser clipThe Newsroom - America is not the greatest country in the world anymore...(Restricted language) (youtube.com)Welcome to Going Rogue, where we unleash the unthinkable to take our thinking to the edge of our comfort zone and create a new narrative.Episode Overview: Our second try at this topic! We learned to “see differently”!For a roguish conversation: 1. Is there room for God in politics, or do we need a clear separation of church and state? 2. What are the dangers of either answer to the first question? 3. Does the word God automatically eliminate a whole demographic of Americans who don’t believe in that word? Is the moral compass we discussed merely a human construct and do ideas of God just muddy the water? What if good people just behaved as good people?4. Is it the same God that is omnipresent in all countries, or is it only the limited idea of God coming through the lens of the ruling authority?

All of our truths are filtered truths. Some are grounded in more concrete, scientific [for now!] laws, and others are a result of culture, beliefs, values, norms, and religion. How hard do you hold on to your truths? It's a very delicate shift from white knuckles to bloody ones. Some roguish conversation questions:Is filtered truth a good thing or a limiting thing? What are we afraid of that is keeping us from evolving spiritually? Or is evolving spiritually taking away from absolute truth? Does God have many voices or just one on earth? Are the filters we all have necessary to our connection to God or are they inhibiting a greater experience of God? What part of our spiritual path does intuition play?PASSION 2024It felt like an Amway event. 50,000+ young adults! Get out there and evangelize! Everyone ends up with a bullseye on their back.
