The MyCrush Podcast

Some people hear “I’m spiritual, not religious” and immediately check someone off the list. But should they? In this episode, Brian and Charlene open up about their own spiritual path and why they believe real conversations matter more than surface-level labels when it comes to love and connection. Yes, we’ve stepped away from religion. Yes, our relationship with God is still strong. No, that doesn’t make us a red flag and it doesn’t mean someone else is either. This episode is for anyone navigating faith, identity, and dating or loving someone who doesn’t check all the same spiritual boxes. Before you write someone off for being “spiritual, not religious", take a pause and ask a few deeper questions. You may find that what they believe and how they live it is more aligned with your values than you think. 🎧 Tap in. 15 minutes. Real talk. No fluff. 🔗 Follow us @MyCrushNation for more honest convos on relationships, love, and everything in between.
