Adjustments In My Spiritual Journey

In episode 5 of Adjusting Podcast, Host Justin G. Nelson explores the complex and evolving relationship between faith, mental health, and personal growth. From the challenges of growing up in the Black church to embracing a more holistic approach to spirituality, Justin discusses the impact of shame, fear, stress, and anxiety in religious upbringing, and how exposure to diverse beliefs in college broadened spiritual perspectives. He delves into the role of music, particularly hymns, in providing comfort and expressing faith, as well as the journey through therapy and shadow work as tools for self-discovery. Justin explores the intersection of traditional Christian practices with alternative spiritual methods, including the use of crystals mentioned in the Bible, and reflects on biblical characters who embody various aspects of mental health struggles. Join Justin as he navigates the delicate balance between honoring religious roots and embracing personal growth, ultimately learning that spiritual journeys often require adjustments to find true peace and self-acceptance. This episode offers a candid look at reconciling faith with mental well-being, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own spiritual paths.My Other Brands:Earthy and Cultured: www.earthyandcultured.comType J Marketing: www.typejmarketing.comPersonal Youtube: @justingnelsonAdjust With Me on Other PlatformsWebsite: www.adjustingpod.comSocial Media: @adjustingpod on Instagram | Facebook | YoutubeApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adjusting-podcast/id1748188929Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Lyu594jw5luH1rujNcTZZ?si=386a7e7728f5461bAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7863b34c-b85c-4f67-8044-10dd08cfb660/adjusting-podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AdjustingPodcastSubstack Channel: https://substack.com/@justingnelsonGuest/Topic submissions: [email protected]: Adjusting Podcast is NOT a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment.Let’s Connect! Website: www.adjustingpod.comSocial Media: @adjustingpod on Instagram | Facebook | Youtube | TikTokApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adjusting-podcast/id1748188929Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Lyu594jw5luH1rujNcTZZ?si=386a7e7728f5461bAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7863b34c-b85c-4f67-8044-10dd08cfb660/adjusting-podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AdjustingPodcastSubstack Channel: https://justingnelson.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipsGuest/Topic submissions: [email protected]: Adjusting Podcast is NOT a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment.
