Spiritual Clarity with Rev. Christine Davies

💬 message Denise What if you could rebuild your spiritual life in a way that actually feels safe, soulful, and completely your own?In this powerful and deeply nourishing conversation, I sit down with Rev. Christine Davies - a hospital chaplain, seminary professor, and spiritual director with nearly two decades of experience walking beside people in their most sacred (and often toughest) life moments.We talk about the real stuff - grief, spiritual clarity, religious trauma, and what it actually looks like to find your way back to a loving connection with the divine after being hurt or burned by religion. Christine’s approach is refreshingly gentle, inclusive, and profoundly wise. She breaks down the difference between religion and spirituality in a way that feels so affirming - and reminds us that healing is possible, no matter where you are on your path.Whether you're craving deeper connection, navigating loss, deconstructing old beliefs, or simply asking, “What’s next for me?” - this episode will feel like a warm, soul-hug. You’ll leave with permission to go slow, ask your own questions, and create sacred rituals that truly reflect you.If you’ve ever felt alone on your spiritual journey - listen in. You are not alone, and you are so deeply supported.Wanna connect with Christine or explore spiritual direction with her? Follow her on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rev-christine-davies/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cvdavies/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/christine.daviesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@rev.christine_daviesChristine's newsletter - https://journeyingalongside.substack.com/Thank you for spending time with me today on the Thrive After 45™ podcast!
