We Love Our Places of Worship… So Why Are We Afraid to Talk About Their Care? Spilling the Chai

https://youtu.be/P6-uT8_Plsc Have you ever walked out of a place of worship feeling spiritually full — but quietly unsettled by the space itself? In this episode of Spilling the Chai with Amy, I’m sharing an honest, thoughtful conversation that came to me after a wedding weekend — the kind where joy, family, culture, and real life all collide.Between photographing a beautiful temple wedding, reflecting on a recent church wedding, and stepping back into everyday life as a mom, wife, and business owner, I found myself sitting with a question many of us think… but rarely say out loud:Why should we have to explain neglect in spaces meant to teach reverence?This conversation is not about criticism.It’s not about blame.And it’s definitely not about religion vs. religion.It’s about care, stewardship, visibility, and responsibility — and what our children learn by watching how we tend to the spaces we hold sacred.If you’ve ever: Loved a place deeply but felt conflicted about its condition Had a quiet conversation in the car after worship Wondered if asking questions is disrespectful — or necessary Believed faith and accountability can coexistThis episode is for you.☕️ Spilling the Chai with Amy is a conversational series where we talk honestly about faith, family, weddings, culture, identity, and the moments that sit with us long after the weekend ends.I’d love for you to join the conversation — leave a comment, share your experience, and let’s talk kindly and openly.📌 New episodes drop weekly — don’t forget to come back next Thursday. 🔗 CONNECT WITH US🌿 The Regeti’s (Wedding Photography & Creative Work)Website: https://theregetis.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/theregetisPinterest: https://pinterest.com/theregetis🌿 South Asian Wedded Life (SAWL)Website: https://sawl.lifePodcast & Blog: https://sawl.lifeInstagram: https://instagram.com/theregetis🌿 Amy RegetiYouTube: https://youtube.com/@amyregetiInstagram: https://instagram.com/theregetis
