Faith and Hope
Jacqueline shares her experience growing up in a Christian church and how her faith in something larger than herself gives her hope. She discusses the importance of expecting things to work out for the good and the responsibility to participate in that work, not just for oneself but also for others. Jacqueline's family's lived experience is evidence of the power of faith and the impact it can have on helping others. She also explores the distinction between religiosity and spirituality, emphasizing that one can have a sense of faith that is not rooted in religion and still be hopeful and good.In this clip

Is it important for life to believe in God or to work on your faith?
What role did spirituality play in a specific event or context?
I have a question about the episode Finding the Sacred - Elizabeth Oldfield | Maiden Mother Matriarch 91 and the clip Wiggly Faith Journey. As someone who has trauma around spirituality and religion, how can I understand how spirituality comes into my relationships, especially after experiencing betrayal, rejection, and deconstruction when leaving the church? I feel misunderstood if I meet someone who is religious. Part of this is my own deep connection with spirituality and love of philosophical thinking, but I think some of it is also affected by trauma. Is there anywhere else that I can understand this further if I can't find the specific episode of the podcast that discusses this topic?
