What happens when your worldview crashes, but your soul keeps whispering? 

In this raw and intimate episode of Rettals Pub, we wander down the winding paths of Norse paganism, atheism, deconstruction, and the quiet ache for meaning in suffering. 

We’re not here for tidy answers. This is a spiritual sleepover—Kentucky coffee in hand, laughter in the background, and a heartfelt reckoning with what it means to be human, divine, and something in-between. 

Inside this episode: 

  • 🌟 Why Odin’s demand for growth may resonate more deeply than salvation 
  • 🌟 The haunting question: Are our choices free, or are they part of a sacred unfolding? 
  • 🌟 What it feels like to not see visions or hear voices, and still crave the mystery 
  • 🌟 Whether running out of gas is divine orchestration or just bad planning 
  • 🌟 Honest reflections on pain, purpose, and the children we can’t save 
  • 🌟 The ocean-wave metaphor: Are we droplets of God exploring matter? 

Themes include spiritual maturity, mystical vs. practical faith, manifesting vs. surrender, and what it means to ascend without needing to escape. 

This one’s for the seekers who have left religion but still find God in the cracks. It’s for the ones wrestling with fate, free will, and the gnawing ache of unanswered prayers. 

🪑 Pull up a seat. The pub’s open.
