S2.04 - Why Every Christian Needs to Learn to Disciple Themselves

from Spiritually Homesteading | How to Lose Your Religion & Keep Your Jesus · host Laura Farhy

How many years have you been going to church and are you actually different? It's the question nobody wants to answer honestly. Because the truth is, a lot of us have been showing up, sitting down, receiving, going home, and calling it a relationship with God. And when that system breaks down, when the pastor falls, when the church hurts you, when Sunday stops being enough...we're left with nothing. Because we built our entire faith inside someone else's house. In this episode, Laura makes the case for self-discipleship: taking radical personal ownership of your spiritual life, not because church is bad, but because no one else can do this for you. She traces how Moses, David, Paul, and even Jesus himself built their most significant spiritual breakthroughs not inside religious institutions, but in deserts, caves, and quiet places far from the crowd. You'll learn what self-discipleship actually looks like in real life (no theology degree required), why spiritual stagnation is silent until it isn't, how to build one small daily habit that will do more for your faith than another year of Sundays, and the 30-second morning question that turned Laura's entire ordinary life into a spiritual practice. Your faith should be able to survive a Monday. This episode helps you build one that can. #progressivechristianity #deconstructingchristianity #christianpodcast #christianfaith #christianfaith #christianityexplained #deconstructingfaith #deconstructedchristian #exvangelical #leavingchurch #reconstructingfaith #christianityexplored #faithcrisis #faithhabits #faithquestions #christianyoutube #christianyoutuber
