Hi Everyone! In this episode I bring my very special friend, Euna Kang, as we discuss our faith, spirituality, and religion as young adults. Euna and I find a lot of strength through our faith that has guided us in how we navigate our struggles, the evil in this world, and our personal growth. I learned so much through this exchange of perspective and am so thankful that she has set time out of her day to share her wisdom. I hope you guys enjoy!
Here are some concepts we discussed:
Faith - "Faith is our belief and trust in a Higher Power, even when there is no empirical proof. It is believing in things we cannot perceive through the five senses, but which can be felt through the sixth sense: intuition. Our intuition tells us that there is something bigger than ourselves — the signs of this are everywhere if we open our souls to them — and faith is our belief that this is true." (Source)
Religion - "Religion may be defined as, “Any system of belief about a deity, often involving rituals, a code of ethics, a philosophy of life, and a world view.” It is straightforward and can be experienced through our senses. Religion gives us a sense of belonging to a community of like-minded individuals who worship a Higher Power in the same way and refer to it by the same name. Because of this, religion is easy to embrace, but also easy to reject." (Source)
Spirituality - "Spirituality brings purpose and meaning to life. It helps us understand our place in the world and honor the thing that are greater than just us — community, service to others, and a relationship with a Higher Power. " (Source)
