203 From Empty Rituals to Holy Relationship
Have you ever followed all the rules of religion but still felt far from God? You’re not alone. For many women, religion taught behavior, not belief. Rituals, not relationship. And the result? A deep disconnect from the One who created us for closeness, not performance.
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, I share my personal journey of pushing back against God after years in a religious system that left me feeling empty - and this journey is not unique to me. We’ll explore what Scripture actually says about knowing God, what “church” really means, and why even New Age spirituality is just another form of religion rooted in performance.
✨ Inside this episode, we’ll cover:
- The difference between performance and presence in your walk with God
- What the Bible says about relationship over ritual
- Why “church” is not a building, but the people of God
- How New Age spirituality can become another exhausting system of self-salvation
- Steps to begin rebuilding a personal, intimate relationship with God — starting today
If you’ve been burned by religion or left exhausted by endless striving, it’s time to come home.
God isn’t asking for your perfection — He’s inviting you into real connection.
