Descripción

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest, I take you into a deeply personal and honest conversation about what it really means to question your faith and why that doesn’t make you less connected to God, but possibly closer. I begin by grounding us in intention and energy, creating space for clarity, truth, and alignment. From there, I open up about my journey as a pastor’s kid, raised in the church, deeply rooted in Christianity, and fully committed to knowing God. But everything shifted when I was introduced to the idea that there may be more than one way to connect with Him. That moment did not shake my belief in God. It challenged the system I was taught. This episode explores what happens when the foundation you have always known starts to expand. What do you do when your spirit is curious, but your upbringing tells you to stay still. What do you do when the math is not making sense and your questions will not go away. I walk through that tension, the confusion, the fear, and the curiosity, and how it ultimately led me into a more personal and intimate relationship with God. We talk about the difference between questioning God and questioning the system you learned Him through. We explore why spiritual curiosity is not rebellion but growth. I share how important it is to test and try the spirit in every space, not just within religion. We also discuss letting go of fear and allowing it to push you toward deeper understanding, and the truth that God is not confined to one path, one practice, or one system. If you have ever felt guilty for asking questions, if you have ever wondered if there is more, or if you have ever felt your spirit pulling you in a direction you did not fully understand, this episode is for you. This week, I challenge you to approach God differently. Ask. Seek. Be open. Trust that the same God you have always known is big enough to meet you wherever you are and guide you to exactly where you are meant to be. Asking questions does not mean you are losing your faith. It might mean you are deepening it.

What Religion Took from Us - Episode 16

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest, I’m having an honest conversation about religion, power, and what many of us were taught to believe without question. I talk about the difference between being taught God and being taught religion, and how fear-based beliefs have shaped the way we see ourselves, our desires, our ancestors, our worth, and our relationship with the divine. This episode is not about telling anyone what they have to believe. It is about asking better questions, getting understanding, and recognizing where inherited teachings may have separated us from our own power. With dragon blood as the scent of the day, we step into a conversation about protection, courage, spiritual strength, and spiritual warfare without fear-based religion. I share my personal perspective on Christianity, ancestral connection, identity, faith, and the importance of doing your own research. This is a reminder to stop accepting everything just because it was handed down, and to begin asking what truly brings you closer to God, closer to yourself, and closer to the truth of your own bloodline. Heavenly minded, but earthly good.

The Peace in the Pause: When God Makes You Wait - Episode 15

In The Peace in the Pause, I’m reflecting on the season when COVID forced me to stop, breathe, and finally confront the exhaustion I had been pushing through for years. After running a restaurant, overworking my body, and trying to force the next move, the pause became uncomfortable, emotional, and necessary. This conversation is about stillness as more than rest. It can be redirection. It can be protection. It can be the place where God rebuilds my faith, restores my body, and teaches me how to trust without needing to control every outcome. I share how closed doors, failed pivots, and uncertainty eventually showed me that the pause was not punishment. It was preparation. Sometimes what feels like nothing happening is the very space where clarity, peace, and alignment begin to form. If you have been feeling guilty for slowing down or afraid of what comes next, this is your reminder that pausing does not mean you are lazy. Stillness can be sacred. Rest can be obedience. And peace can meet you right in the middle of the unknown. Take ten quiet minutes this week. No phone. No noise. No distractions. Just listen. You may hear exactly what you have been too busy to receive.  The Spiritual Realist is edited and produced by Organized Movements [https://organizedmovements.com/] Recorded at Privicast Studio [https://privicaststudio.com/] Subscribe on YouTube @thespiritualrealest [https://www.youtube.com/@TheSpiritualRealest] Follow on Instagram @thespiritualrealest [https://www.instagram.com/thespiritualrealest]

Stop Being a Slave to Being Less Than

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest, I’m talking about freedom in a deeper way. Juneteenth is not just a date on the calendar. It is a reminder of what happens when people are kept bound by evil intentions, lack of knowledge, and systems that benefit from them not knowing they are already free. But that kind of bondage did not stop in the past. A lot of us are still mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and even religiously enslaved to things that no longer serve who we are becoming. I’m asking the real question: what are you still allowing yourself to remain captive to? A relationship? A job? A title? A tradition? A belief system? A version of yourself that was shaped by fear, obedience, survival, or validation? In this conversation, I reflect on Juneteenth, mental slavery, religion, curiosity, spiritual knowledge, and what it really means to seek wisdom, understanding, and truth for yourself. We also talk about frankincense, spiritual elevation, divine truth, and how every path worth walking should lead you back to deeper awareness. This week, I want you to sit with three questions: What have you always believed?  Why do you still believe it?  And does it still align with who you are today? I’m Scarlett Draught, heavenly minded, but always earthly good. Stop being a slave to being less than.

The Work of Faith

What happens when you believe something is supposed to happen, but every step forward feels like another delay? In this episode, I talk about faith, frustration, waiting, and the uncomfortable space between knowing something is meant for you and actually seeing it show up. For a long time, I thought faith was simply believing. What I eventually learned is that faith often asks something of us in return. Sometimes it asks us to wait. Sometimes it asks us to trust. And sometimes it asks us to do something that pushes us outside of what we've always known. Let's have an honest conversation about patience, endurance, sacred waiting, and what it means to keep moving when it feels like nothing is moving at all.

Sex Magic: Intention, Energy & Manifestation - Episode 12

Most people think sex is only about pleasure or procreation.But we know it's much deeper than that. I'm diving into the spiritual practice of sex magic—the intentional use of sexual energy to manifest the life you desire. From love and healing to purpose, abundance, and personal transformation, we'll explore how sexual energy can become a powerful tool for creation when it's guided with intention.  I'll walk you through: *  What sex magic is and what it isn't  *  Why sexual energy is considered life-force energy  *  How to set intentions before intimacy  *  Creating an environment that supports manifestation  *  The role of breathwork, visualization, and energetic alignment  *  Why trust, surrender, and release matter just as much as desire  Whether you're exploring this practice alone or with a partner, this conversation invites you to think differently about intimacy, manifestation, and the creative power that already exists within you.  As always, take what resonates, leave what doesn't, and trust your own discernment. I'm Scarlett Draught—heavenly minded, but always earthly good.
