In this raw and revealing conversation, Kevin Hohe sits down with writer and entrepreneur Caitlin Pyle to explore the courage it takes to question everything you’ve been taught about faith, freedom and identity. From her early encounters with fear-based religion to building a multimillion-dollar business, navigating divorce and finding peace through spiritual awakening, Caitlin’s story is one of resilience, curiosity and transformation.

Together, Kevin and Caitlin unpack the complexities of deconstruction, mental health and the struggle to move beyond dogma into a deeper understanding of love and consciousness. They discuss how traditional interpretations of Christianity can both heal and harm, the danger of ideological capture and why Jesus’ message may have been far simpler, and far more radical, than religion allows.

This episode is not about abandoning faith but rediscovering its heart: freedom, curiosity and love.

In this episode:

• Caitlin’s journey from purity culture to personal freedom

• Overcoming mental health challenges and rediscovering spirituality

• Questioning fear-based religion and exploring consciousness

• The problem with blind obedience and the call to curiosity

• Love, unity and the true meaning of Jesus’ teachings

• How to find peace, purpose and freedom beyond dogma

Kevin Hohe welcomes Morgan Fisher for an honest and wide-ranging conversation about faith, business, and the courage to ask questions that matter.

In this episode of Mystic vs. Traditional Christianity from the Better Questions podcast, Kevin Hohe sits down once again with Timmy Conrad to dive into the tension between theology and action. Timmy shares his conviction that too many Christians stay in the stands, debating ideas, rather than stepping onto the field to love and serve in real, tangible ways.

Together, they explore the difference between deconstruction and formation, what it really means to bear fruit, and how small acts of love can create ripples of transformation. From praying with strangers at Home Depot to mentoring young people, Timmy emphasizes that faith is not just about studying the playbook, it’s about playing the game.

Listeners will hear honest reflections on sin, idols, the role of the church, and the radical possibility that Jesus meant it when he said his followers would do “greater things.”

Takeaways

• Faith without action risks staying stuck in endless debate
• Fruit, not opinions, is the true barometer of spiritual life
• Sin is less about rules and more about separation from God
• The Holy Spirit empowers us to do greater things than we imagine
• Small acts of love can have infinite impact
