In this episode, I talk with Dr. David Pooler about spiritual bandaids—psychologists often call this “spiritual bypassing.”
It’s an honest conversation that will help you understand the impact of spiritual bypassing on yourself, your friends, and your church.
Discussion questions:
-
Have you ever used spiritual practices to cope with challenging situations? How did that work out for you over time?
-
Why do you think spiritual bypassing isn’t discussed much in religious circles?
-
How can understanding spiritual bypassing lead to a more authentic spiritual life?
