Spirituality Matters with Rev Karla – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This isn’t just another policy shift. This is a spiritual crisis. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking what’s happening with the defunding of USAID—and why it matters for those of us who are deconstructing our faith, reclaiming our values, and learning to see every life as sacred.

Behind the headlines are calculated efforts by billionaires and ideologues to dismantle humanitarian aid, silence compassionate outreach, and replace it with religious control and nationalist agendas. This isn’t efficiency—it’s eugenics in everything but name.

If you’ve ever wondered how Christianity became a weapon for power instead of a force for love and healing, this episode is for you. It’s heavy, yes—but it’s also a call to awaken, to resist, and to live out a spirituality that protects the vulnerable, not abandons them.

This is your reminder that your voice matters. Your compassion matters. And your spiritual path can—and should—be part of the resistance.

Rev Karla's Book Deconstructing: Leaving Church, Finding Faith Out Now

In this episode, I return to the heart of everything I teach: why spirituality matters. For those of us who have untangled from high-control religion, the word spirituality can feel loaded—dismissed, distorted, or used to keep us in fear. But I believe spirituality isn’t about rules or performance—it’s about remembering. Remembering that we are already sacred. Already loved. Already whole.

This conversation is for the ones who no longer pray the way they used to, who wonder if they’re doing it “wrong,” who feel the pull toward something deeper and more honest. If that’s you, I hope this meets you right where you are—and reminds you that your humanity is holy.

Because spirituality matters. Because you matter.

Rev Karla's Book Deconstructing: Leaving Church, Finding Faith Out Now

I’m not an alarmist—I’m a realist. I see the patterns, I pay attention, and I take action when I know something is wrong. And right now, I need you to hear this: If you aren’t terrified, you aren’t paying attention.

Democracy is being dismantled at a speed designed to keep us overwhelmed, exhausted, and unable to fight back. From forced deportations and gutted workers’ rights to billionaires tightening their grip on government power, we are watching an orchestrated plan unfold.

So, what do we do? We prepare. We resist. We take care of each other. Because submission will not save us, and waiting for someone else to act is no longer an option.

If not you, then who? If not now, then when?
