About Unchurching Podcast

Because when it all starts to fall apart, you need to know you’re not alone. And there’s just so much more. We’ve lived the church life for decades across four countries. We served, led, taught, preached, and believed … until it stopped fitting. Unchurching is our honest invitation into the wild, sacred journey beyond religion and Christianity. We’re not here to bash church—but we are here to remember who we are beyond programs, pressure, and performance. These are the raw, real conversations of all the wonder, grief, freedom—and those pivotal “what the heck do I do with Jesus now?” moments.

   EP22: Conscious Christmas – How to Celebrate After Awakening

   What do you do with Christmas when you’ve left church—but still love the season? If you’ve ever wondered how to redeem Christmas without going back to religious performance, this conversation offers permission, language, and ideas for creating a conscious Christmas that actually feels like you. In this episode of the Unchurching Podcast, Clint and Rachelle talk honestly about how confusing and guilt-laden Christmas can feel after deconstruction: Do you still “make it about Jesus”? What do you do with the nostalgia, the carols, the services, and the pressure to celebrate? They explore the deeper history of Christmas—from pagan solstice festivals to the surprising lore behind Santa, stockings, and gifts under the tree—and how that history can actually free you from religious obligation. You may be surprised, we were! They reframe Jesus through an awakened lens: Instead of centering a distant God or a baby “born to die,” they invite you to see Christmas as an inner event—honoring your own awakening, inner guidance, humility, and soul gifts. They also introduce a playful new “bumper sticker” segment, where they take familiar Christian phrases and "gently" re-interpret them through a lens of consciousness, freedom, and light. ✨ Christmas can be about light within, not religious obligation. ✨ Jesus shows us our own divinity, not our depravity. ✨ You’re allowed to rewrite your traditions in a way that feels true. ––– 🌀 Unchurching is for the spiritually curious, the deconstructing, and the awakening. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @unchurchingpodcast ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome & the chaos of Clint’s Christmas décor 01:20 – When Christmas feels strange after leaving church 02:45 – Missing old traditions & asking: “What do we do with this now?” 04:30 – Was Christmas ever really about Jesus’ birthday? 06:20 – Solstice, Yule, and the return of the light 09:30 – How the church absorbed existing midwinter traditions 12:40 – A curious rabbit hole: Santa, symbolism, and old shamanic stories 18:30 – Why exploring origins helps release religious guilt 20:10 – The church’s version of Jesus: savior narrative & hierarchy 26:00 – The awakened view of Jesus: mystic, teacher, and breaker of religious rules 31:00 – Presence, compassion, and living what Jesus embodied 38:00 – New segment: Bumper Sticker of the Week 44:20 – Turning familiar phrases into invitations to awaken 47:00 – Where awakening fits with Christmas now 48:00 – The birth of inner light after the dark night 49:20 – The “star,” intuition, and inner guidance 50:30 – The manger, humility, and the human condition 51:20 – Gifts, soul gifts, and what we really bring to each other 52:30 – Making Christmas an inner event instead of a religious obligation 54:20 – Final reflections & a conscious Christmas blessing

   In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Clint and Rachelle open up about what happens when spiritual awakening takes over the body. From nerve pain and insomnia to emotional waves and physical recalibration, they explore how awakening isn’t just a state of mind — it’s a full-body transformation. They discuss how trauma lives in the fascia, why the nervous system holds the key to healing, and how to tell the difference between illness and awakening. With honesty, humor, and compassion, they share their lived experience of physical awakening — the confusion, the beauty, and the unshakable trust that the body knows what it’s doing. ✨ Your body isn’t betraying you — it’s leading you home ✨ Pain isn’t punishment — it’s communication ✨ You’re not falling apart — you’re waking up ––– 🎧 Listen on all platforms → Listen Now 🌀 Unchurching is for the spiritually curious, the deconstructing, and the awakening. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @unchurchingpodcast (https://www.instagram.com/unchurchingpodcast/) 🌐 Learn more or book mentorship: unchurchingpodcast.com (https://www.unchurchingpodcast.com) ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome & Disclaimer 02:30 – The Misunderstanding of Physical Awakening 06:00 – Diagnosed or Awakening? 09:30 – The Emotional Toll & Trusting Intuition 13:00 – Awakening Through the Body 17:00 – Energy, Fascia & the Nervous System 22:00 – Survival Mode & the Fight-or-Flight Trap 28:00 – Childhood Trauma & Emotional Imprints 33:00 – Releasing Stored Pain & Triggers 38:00 – When Old Wounds Resurface 44:00 – Physical Symptoms of Awakening 50:00 – Digestion, Hormones & Recalibration 55:00 – The Nervous System as Messenger 01:00:00 – Speaking to the Body & Rewiring Safety 01:05:00 – Integration & The New Body 01:08:00 – Final Reflections: You’re Not Broken
