In this provocative and insightful episode, Clint and Rachelle dive headfirst into a question many have thought but few have said aloud: Is the Church a cult?
Prompted by a listener’s message about cult definitions, they explore the overlap between religious systems and cultish behavior — not to condemn, but to awaken awareness. This isn’t a “church-bashing” episode; it’s an honest look at how control can quietly replace curiosity in any human system — from religion to politics to wellness and even awakening spaces.
Together, they unpack the key markers of cultish dynamics — fear-based loyalty, unquestioned leadership, behavior control, and “us vs. them” thinking — while sharing their own experiences navigating these patterns. They discuss why good people get caught in manipulative systems, how belonging and certainty can be used against us, and why awareness, not anger, is the path to freedom.
✨ Cults aren’t defined by beliefs — they’re defined by behavior.
✨ Awareness, not anger, is what frees us.
✨ True community creates freedom, not conformity.

In this intimate solo episode, Rachelle explores one of awakening’s most liberating paradoxes: learning to “know nothing.”
She shares how leaving religious certainty opened a wider world of curiosity, peace, and genuine learning—starting with unlearning. From the ego’s addiction to being right, to the freedom of saying “I don’t know,” Rachelle reframes wisdom as a posture, not a pile of facts. She unpacks the difference between religion’s safety-in-answers and awakening’s freedom-in-openness, and introduces a powerful law from her studies: you don’t understand your way into peace—you peace your way into understanding.
You’ll also hear about staying non-judgmental while exploring new ideas, choosing your “teacher” (ego vs. peace), why innocence and curiosity matter, and how free will and openness shape spiritual experience. She closes with a grounding affirmation to carry into your week.
✨ Key ideas:
Unlearning before learning: why dismantling certainty comes first
Ego vs. peace as teachers: choosing curiosity over defense
“Peace first, then understanding”: practicing the paradox in daily life

In this powerful and emotional conversation, Clint and Rachelle explore how guilt became one of religion’s most effective tools of control—and how awakening reveals that it was never real in the first place.
A listener comment quoting “The wages of sin is death” sparks a deep dive into how guilt has been weaponized through doctrine, fear, and manipulation. They unpack how guilt keeps people small, separate, and afraid, and how it shows up even after leaving organized religion—through social conditioning, judgment, and self-punishment.
Through vulnerability and laughter, they reframe guilt not as divine justice, but as the illusion of separation from love. They reinterpret sin as forgetfulness, death as the loss of awareness, and salvation as the remembrance of who you already are.
✨ Guilt isn’t proof of sin—it’s proof of separation.
✨ You don’t need to earn forgiveness—only awareness.
✨ When guilt dissolves, love takes its place.

In this episode, Clint and Rachelle unpack one of the biggest questions people ask after deconstructing faith: What is my purpose now?
They explore how the church taught purpose as a pressure-filled assignment—something to earn, prove, and perform for God—and how awakening reframes it as something to remember. Your purpose isn’t a role, title, or mission. It’s the unfolding of love and awareness through you, right now.
From reinterpreting Jeremiah 29:11 to discovering purpose through awakening, they challenge the idea of a divine “blueprint” and reveal why purpose is not something you chase, but something you allow. Along the way, they discuss healing the ego, integrating past versions of yourself, and how your old skills and experiences become breadcrumbs toward who you’re becoming.
✨ Purpose isn’t found through doing—it flows through being.
✨ You are the plan. You are the purpose.
✨ When you stop trying to find your purpose, you start living it.

Another raw and real update.
In this Unplugged episode, Clint and Rachelle share honestly about what it’s like to awaken together as a couple—sometimes out of sync, sometimes in harmony, but always learning. They reflect on their church past, how it shaped their ideas of success and provision, and how those ideas are being completely redefined through awakening.
This wide-ranging conversation covers the realities of supporting each other’s growth, the role of trauma in healing, and how sound frequencies and mindfulness can help release what the body holds.
They also respond to listener questions about Halloween, Satan, and demons—breaking down the history, dogma, and mystical perspectives, and reframing these as archetypes of ego, shadow, and separation. And they close by confronting the common accusation that “leaving church means leaving God,” showing why separation from the divine is not only a misconception but an impossibility.
✨ Awakening looks different for everyone, even in close relationships.
✨ Old fears of Satan, demons, and separation dissolve when seen as ego, shadow, and trauma.
✨ Church is an institution—you can leave it and still be deeply connected to God.

What if Adam’s “deep sleep” was more than a story—what if it was a metaphor for humanity’s unconsciousness?
In this episode of the Unchurching Podcast, Clint and Rachelle explore the journey of awakening and consciousness through the lens of Adam’s deep sleep in the Garden of Eden. They discuss how ego, trauma, and cultural conditioning keep us in patterns of unconscious living—and how awakening is about remembering our true connection to Source.
Together, they reflect on the illusion of separation, the role of the ego, and the importance of self-awareness, presence, and shadow work in the awakening journey.
✨ People are awakening and breaking out of conditioned molds.
✨ Separation from Source is an illusion—we are all interconnected.
✨ Awareness is the first step toward freedom and awakening.

What if the Holy Spirit was never outside of you—but always the voice of remembrance within?
In this episode of the Unchurching Podcast, Clint and Rachelle dive into the multifaceted nature of the Holy Spirit. They share personal experiences and cultural perspectives, explore how different denominations frame the Spirit, and discuss the neurobiology of worship and collective experience.
This conversation reframes the Holy Spirit—not as a distant force to be invited in, but as the inner guide, comforter, and reminder of oneness with God and with ourselves. Along the way, they unpack themes of fear, control, atonement, and mystical connection, ultimately pointing to the Spirit as a voice of awakening.
✨ You are not separate from God.
✨ The Spirit reminds us of who we truly are.
✨ Awakening is a journey of connection, not fear.

In this episode of the Unchurching Podcast, Clint and Rachelle sit down with Justin Lovato, mentor and guide, for a conversation on the tools that support awakening. Together they explore how breathwork, meditation, and grounding help us reconnect with presence, navigate fear, and step into love.

In this episode of the Unchurching podcast, Clint and Rachelle take a raw look at how fear, doubt, and the devil have been woven into church life as mechanisms of control. They share personal stories of living under judgment, explore the historical roots of fear in Christianity, and unpack the contradictions between theology and love.
This conversation is both deeply personal and deeply practical: how fear manifests in our bodies, how it affects our mental health, and how awakening is the process of remembering who we truly are. Listeners are invited to question inherited beliefs, embrace authenticity, and discover that real community is built not on fear, but on love and connection.
✨ Fear is baked into theology.
✨ You are free to question.
✨ Constructed fear can be deconstructed.

What happens when church leaders awaken—and choose authenticity over performance?
In this episode of the Unchurching podcast, Clint sits down with David Trotter, former pastor and founder of Awakened magazine, for an honest conversation about life after church leadership and the expansive journey of awakening.
Together, they reflect on leaving behind old belief systems, embracing unconditional love, and discovering the transformative power of curiosity and plant medicine. David shares the struggles many leaders face behind closed doors, the pressure of religious performance, and how healing and freedom begin with authentic conversations.
This dialogue between two former church leaders is an invitation into safety, love, and a broader spirituality—one that goes far beyond the confines of religious structures.
✨ Curiosity is a gift from God.
✨ You can try on new beliefs for a day.
✨ You’re safe, and you’re loved.

They share personal experiences and practical tools—like breath work, journaling, and gratitude—that anchor you in the now.
This is a conversation about why we get trapped in cycles of regret over the past and fear about the future, how societal structures keep us distracted, and how reconnecting with your true self in the present is the key to spiritual growth.
✨ The secret is here in the present.
✨ Stillness is where connection begins.
✨ You need to discover who you are.

What if the resurrection and virgin birth were never meant to be taken literally?
In this episode of the Unchurching podcast, Clint and Rachelle explore how some of Christianity’s most sacred stories—like the resurrection and the virgin birth—might actually point us inward, not upward. They examine how awakening often comes by reinterpreting belief systems that once felt unshakable.
This is a conversation about Jesus, Mary, the soul realm, and transformation. Not as distant theological concepts, but as living metaphors for the divine potential within you. Because sometimes, the real resurrection isn’t about rising from the grave—it’s about rising from the conditioning that kept you asleep.
✨ Awakening is a resurrection.
✨ Love is stronger than death.
✨ You are a vessel for the divine.

A "must listen" episode!
What if Jesus didn’t come to save you—but to awaken you?
In this episode of the Unchurching podcast, Clint and Rachelle Davis examine the deeply ingrained doctrine of salvation and how it has shaped Christianity’s exclusivity, identity, and sense of urgency. They explore how traditional teachings on Jesus may have limited our understanding of divinity, and offer a new lens through which to see his life—not as a transaction for salvation, but as an invitation into awakening.
This is a raw, transformative conversation about inner divinity, the kingdom of heaven within, and how thoughts and self-perception shape our spiritual reality. It’s an episode that gently unhooks Jesus from the guilt-and-salvation framework and reconnects him to your conscious journey.
✨ Jesus didn’t bring a religion. He revealed a reality..
✨ The kingdom has always been within you.

They share personal stories of questioning long-held beliefs, navigating grief and anger, and learning to trust themselves in the journey of self-discovery.
You’ll hear raw reflections on how authority in faith can become control, how identity and community are shaken in the unraveling, and how awakening is not just about leaving—but about remembering who you are.

You’ll hear stories of grief, freedom, and redefinition as they explore what happens when the beliefs, systems, and communities that once defined your world no longer fit.

This is Unchurching—a podcast for those who’ve walked away from organized religion and are waking up to something more.
Hosted by Clint and Rachelle Davis, this show is an honest invitation into the wild, sacred journey beyond church life. We’re not here to bash church—but we are here to talk about what happens when it stops fitting.
If you’ve ever wondered “What now?”—you’re not alone.
Episodes drop every Sunday ;)
