When Religion Forgets Spirit 11-30-2025

from The Pulpiteer · host Eric Hepburn

Religion without spirit forgets the fire. Spirit without religion forgets the hearth. Religion without spirit stagnates and calcifies. Spirit without religion drifts and evaporates. A community that holds the tension between them becomes sacred. Religion without spirit hardens and cracks. Spirit without religion melts and runs away. A community that holds them in balance becomes a vessel for truth. Religion without spirit becomes brittle and hollow. Spirit without religion becomes scattered and thin. Only a community willing to bear the tension can flourish. Religion without spirit forgets fire. Spirit without religion forgets the hearth. Let us claim this hearth here for its rightful purpose. To hold the fire that we are.
