Do you know the difference between religion and faith? Do you question religion in moments of stress, worry, or hard times in your life? Bruxy Cavey,  the senior pastor at The Meeting House, a church for people who aren’t into church, and I shared a deep conversation around these exact questions and feelings in a previous episode and you all loved it! That’s why episode 137 of Becoming Iconic is resharing the two episodes as one full conversation of the end of religion and the power of faith, with Bruxy Cavey.

Bruxy Cavey (bruxy.com), pastor of The Meeting House (themeetinghouse.com), and author of The End of Religion and (re)union: the good news of Jesus, for seekers, saints, & sinners. 

In this episode of Becoming Iconic, Bruxy is sharing the importance of understanding the difference between religion and faith, and ways to rethink religion, especially if you’ve been questioning your faith or the Bible.

Bruxy and I cover some of the following topics: 

• Religion, as an expression, can have a flexible meaning. It might mean a relationship with a divine for some while for others it means belonging to a group that practices a connection with a divine.
• How we can take “God is love” and move that out of a religious building or experience
• We don’t have to have all the answers for everything in order to have faith in God.
• Most religions are based on certain rules, regulations, and routines
• Is there a heaven or hell?
• In our clamoring for justice, we do damage. The fallacies behind Karma.
• How to discern between your own ego and the voice of God

I hope this episode brought you peace, as it did me, around religion and faith, and the powerful experience you can have when you lean into faith over the societal standards of what religion “should be”. So be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on all things business, style, relationships and family.
