What if the most “spiritual” thing you could do… is actually be fully human?

In this episode of Unhinged, Michele and Martin dismantle the Christian dualism that pits your body against your spirit — and explore why embodied, integrated faith is not only biblical, but essential for human flourishing.

Together, we unpack:

• Why “sarx” doesn’t mean “sinful nature”
• How mistranslations created a war inside people that the Gospel never intended
• Why emotions, imagination, and physicality belong in prayer
• How purity culture rewired countless people’s view of sex, pleasure, and their own bodies
• Why God becoming human is the ultimate death blow to disembodied spirituality
• What it means to live freely, fully, and beautifully integrated

Heads up! We hit on some adult topics, so if you’re listening with littles around, you may want to grab an AirPod or some headphones.

If you’ve ever tried to become “spiritual enough” by shrinking or denying your humanity, this episode will give you the freedom you’ve been waiting for.

Learn, laugh, and be liberated. You were made to be beautifully human.
