Where do the phenomena of personal growth and spiritual life coaching come from? What’s underneath the hood of social media stardom and the quest for personal fulfillment and satisfaction? Dr. Molly Worthen, professor at the University of North Carolina, joins us to discuss the history of religion in America, including the decline of religious institutions and the rise, for better and worse, of hyper-individualism in the spiritual marketplace. Drawing on Dr. Worthen’s expertise, this episode looks expansively and critically at what we may really be seeking through avenues such as coaching, as well as the nature of true freedom. For anyone interested in working with a spiritual life coach or developing their spiritual life in general, this episode is a must listen!
