3. A Way of Being Human
🧘♂️✨ What if being human isn't about striving... but simply being?
In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode of Just Being Rick, Rick invites you into a post-meditation reflection that goes deep — into the heart of faith, identity, and love.
He unpacks his personal journey from worshiping Jesus as a distant Savior... to embracing him as a present and intimate Teacher. Along the way, he flips the script on traditional religion, reimagines God as Abba (a deeply personal, compassionate Father), and shares how unconditional love—not fear—is the foundation of being human.
💭 If you've ever questioned the version of God you were handed... or craved a more meaningful, embodied spirituality... this episode is for you.
🎧 Tune in for:
•Raw reflections on meditation and inner stillness
•A bold reframe of Jesus' message
•A fresh take on intimacy with the divine
•And a call to live from the inside out, with radical love

2. Rest as Resistance and the Journey to Trusting Intuition
In today’s episode, Rick reflects on the struggle of feeling unproductive when engaging in rest, creativity, or anything that doesn’t generate immediate income. He explores how deeply ingrained capitalistic ideals can make us feel guilty for simply being rather than doing—and how embracing rest is actually an act of resistance.
Rick also dives into:
The journey of learning to trust intuition over rigid beliefs.
How societal expectations condition us to shame ourselves for rest and joy.
His experience with Gene Keys and how it helped articulate his personal calling.
The balance between the heart and the mind—why we need both, and why neither should dominate.
A reflection on abundance vs. contentment—what true abundance really looks like (hint: it’s not about having everything you want).
The power of presence, surrender, and recognizing that we are all interconnected.
