概要

Faith & spirituality for everyday people.

Penelope French (they/she/he) a spiritualist, theologian, ethicist, and cultural community organizer, but around here, I'm just your people.

I was raised Full Gospel Baptist. First family, so I was born into building and maintaining the tradition. I knew the altar, the oil, the tongues, the tambourine. And I honored it. And then, like so many of us, I outgrew ther version of God handed to me. Not out of rebellion, but revelation. These days, I don’t claim any one tradition. I claim truth. I claim freedom. I claim spirit in its many forms. A space to make it make sense especially for those of us in the in-between or spiritual transition. No longer at home in the church we came from, not quite sure where we're going next. For those who are wrestling, remembering, and rebuilding. It’s for the ones who’ve left the building but still hear the echo of the choir. The ones trying to make sense of what they were taught, what they know, and what they’re still uncovering. If that’s you, you’re not alone. You're in good company.

  • Under The Spell: How We Learned to Fear Pleasure & How Pleasure Was Never the Problem
    2026/04/04

    We were taught to multiply but not to feel.
    To discipline the body, but never listen to it.

    In this episode, I sit with Mxter Xero (The Bishop of Bliss) to talk about the spells many of us were raised under theology and how they disconnected sensuality, sexuality, and sacredness from our bodies.

    What happens when rebellion is actually remembrance?
    When pleasure is not a sin but a language of the spirit?
    When play, joy, and sensation become portals back to ourselves?

    Raised in the church, preaching as a youth, and later stepping away to reclaim their body, desire, and spiritual authority, Xero now bridges church language with embodied liberation, inviting us to heal shame, burnout, and survival patterns through presence, pleasure, and truth.

    This conversation is an invitation to ask:
    ✨ When was the last time you played?
    ✨ How do you experience sensuality without apology?
    ✨ What would it mean to take ownership of your body, fully?

    Liberation is sacred work.
    Pleasure is not a sin.
    And the spirit still speaks through the body.

    More About Our Guest:

    Mxter Xero (aka The Bishop of Bliss) is a Safe, Sexy, Sacred embodiment guide, Radical Change Strategist, subconscious explorer, and sacred disrupter whose work lives at the intersection of liberation, pleasure, spirituality, and personal power. Raised Full Gospel Baptist as the child of a lifelong church steward, Xero began preaching as a youth before stepping away during their process of individuation and spiritual re-definition. What some would call rebellion or “backsliding” became a journey of exploration and harm reduction. Now at 36, their work bridges the language of the church with the lived reality of healing, embodiment, and liberation beyond traditional religious frameworks.

    Through hypnosis, specialized psychedelic facilitation, erotic and sacred ritual, and community spaces like the S³ Sanctuary, Xero supports leaders and creatives in transforming burnout, shame, and survival patterns into embodied peace, pleasure, and purpose.

    Their message is simple: liberation is sacred work, pleasure is not a sin, and the spirit still speaks through the body.

  • We Were All Church'd: The Permission Slip
    2026/04/04
    "What if everything you thought you knew about faith, church, and spirituality is just a piece of a bigger puzzle?"


    Drop a 🔥 if you're questioning what faith really means to you.For years, I believed church was the only way to connect with God and that everything outside it was wrong. But what happens when your own journey pushes you to question everything?

    After deconstructing my beliefs, I realized faith isn’t about following rules, it’s about owning your spiritual truth. Questioning isn't a sin; it’s a part of growth.

    The power to redefine your spirituality lies within you, not in doctrines or institutions. Trust your lived experience; it’s your most authentic guide.

    So, I ask: what are you holding onto that no longer serves your soul? And what would it take to give yourself permission to let it go?Let’s talk in the comments. 💬
