Have you ever questioned the very foundations of your spirituality, or pondered the journey others take in their quest for faith? Join me, Tiffany D Cross, as we unravel the dynamic and deeply personal narratives of Black spirituality, belief, and the evolving relationship with the church. Our esteemed guests, Edith Gray and B Simone, enrich our conversation with their contrasting experiences – Edith's shift towards scientific reasoning after a lifetime in the church, and B Simone's recent embrace of faith through life's hurdles. Navigating through the landmarks of life can dramatically shift our spiritual compass. We grapple with the pain inflicted by fallible humans within religious institutions, while seeking an undiluted connection with the divine that goes beyond doctrine. Reflect with us on how morality and purpose take shape both inside and outside the realm of organized religion. From the tangible impact of prayer in my own life to the ethical compass guiding non-believers, we engage in a candid exploration of how we find meaning in the seen and the unseen. Confronting the blurred lines between faith and fanaticism, this episode doesn't shy away from the tough questions. How do we distinguish mainstream religion from the manipulative grasp of cults? What role does intuition play in our spiritual choices? We dissect these intricate themes, offering a raw look at the spaces where belief, faith, and the quest for a higher truth collide. Don't miss this authentic dive into the heart of what it means to believe, across generations and beyond the pews.  RATE, REVIEW, AND FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCAST ‌🎥 Watch Across Generations on YOUTUBE: Follow us on social media: ‌📱INSTAGRAM: Tiffany D Cross ‌Across Generations Podcast 🐦TWITTER/X: Tiffany D Cross   ‌Across Generations is produced and edited by Idea to Launch Productions See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
