Foundations: Episode 4: What Do You Really Want?

🎙️ Episode 4 – What Do You Really Want?

with James Kiger | Real Without Religion

Episode Summary

What if your deepest desires aren’t selfish—but sacred?

In this episode, James Kiger unpacks the question that religion rarely let us ask: What do you really want? Not what sounds holy or humble. Not what your parents hoped for. But the real, soul-level longing inside you.

James explores how so many of us were taught that wanting more was dangerous—that it was selfish, or even sinful. But what if that’s not true? What if wanting more isn’t a problem—it’s a spiritual compass?

This episode invites you to reconnect with your own inner desires—without guilt, without shame, and without the fear that you’re doing something wrong. Because wanting isn’t weakness. It’s human. And it might just be the doorway to everything real.

Key Takeaways

✅ Desire is not a flaw: Your longing is part of your spiritual wiring.

✅ Old beliefs about desire: How church teachings taught us to fear our own wants.

✅ Reconnecting to your inner compass: Listening to the quiet, honest voice within.

✅ Wanting more doesn’t make you selfish: It makes you alive.

✅ Freedom from guilt: You’re allowed to want what you really want.

Final Thought

This week, take a moment to ask yourself—not what you think you should want, but what you truly want. Let that question be a gentle doorway back to your own soul. Because you’re allowed to want. You’re allowed to dream. And your desires might just be the sacred map you’ve been searching for.
