What happens when you begin to question the spiritual path you've been walking? When the God you thought you knew becomes a question mark rather than an exclamation point? This deeply personal episode explores the disorienting yet ultimately transformative experience of going through a spiritual crisis.

After an unexpected ending to a five-year relationship with my spiritual coach, I found myself adrift in questions about God's benevolence and the nature of spiritual truth. This crisis prompted me to examine how we navigate periods of profound uncertainty about our most fundamental beliefs. Rather than viewing these questioning periods as unnecessary or negative, I share why they're actually essential components of authentic spiritual growth—clearing space for deeper truths to emerge, ie. spiritual maturation.

Drawing from my own experience, I offer practical guidance for supporting yourself through existential questioning. From finding the right therapist or spiritual director to establishing daily journaling practices, connection within nature, and community support, these anchor points provide stability while navigating unfamiliar spiritual territory. I explore the critical skill of discernment—learning to distinguish between fear-based resistance and genuine spiritual guidance—and how embodied wisdom helps us recognize what paths are truly aligned with our spiritual development.

The journey continues as we continue riding the wave of life. And, as uncomfortable as existential questioning can be, it opens us to what Thomas Hübl calls "the receptivity of revelation"—the capacity to receive new insights that transform our understanding of life, God, and ourselves. Join me in embracing the sacred discomfort of not knowing, where our deepest spiritual growth often happens.
