In this episode, Pete Holmes explains his practice of saying “Yes, Thank You” and how he practices non-resistance, a way of letting life be what it is instead of fighting it. Pete is well known from his long running podcast, You Made It Weird, and his book Comedy, Sex, God. Both mix humor with deep spiritual reflection, and this conversation explores that very same space. He discusses letting go of willpower-driven faith, embracing mystery, and finding joy in the very moments we usually resist.

Exciting News!!! My new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life, is now available for pre-orders!

Key Takeaways:

Spiritual journey and personal growth
The nature of sin as unconsciousness
The balance between being and doing
Practicing non-resistance and acceptance
The impact of modern culture on pleasure and satisfaction
The evolution of beliefs from evangelical Christianity to a broader spirituality
Understanding the importance of presence and mindfulness in everyday life
