ReligiosiTea

Adren Warling

ReligiosiTea is where sacred storytelling meets critical inquiry—an exploration of how religion, spirituality, and health collide, converge, and co-heal. Hosted by Adren, a doctoral student in Health Equity Sciences with a Master of Public Health and a background in anthropology, this podcast bridges the gap between lived experience and academic insight. With deep roots in qualitative research and a passion for testimony, Adren invites listeners into the spaces where belief systems meet bodies, where healing is both clinical and cosmic, and where the divine shows up in diagnosis, doubt, and deliverance. The name ReligiosiTea is a portmanteau of religiosity—a measure of religious participation—and tea, a term from queer and AAVE dialects meaning truth, gossip, and revelation. This isn’t just a show about religion or health—it’s about the stories we whisper, the rituals we survive, and the questions we dare to ask when the stakes are spiritual and embodied. Episodes vary in format—from interviews with people of diverse faiths and spiritual identities, to solo reflections, to commentary on the politics of faith and wellness. Whether you’re devout, deconstructing, or somewhere in between, ReligiosiTea offers a grounded, generous space for complexity, clarity, and connection.

    Long Steep: It's Giving Thanks - An Episode on Gratitude

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! In this Long Steep, we brew gratitude slowly and intentionally—through theology, psychology, and lived experience. No buzzwords, no toxic positivity, no “be grateful for your trauma” energy. Just real tea. We start with what gratitude actually is: a state, a trait, an act of reciprocity shaped by context and choice. From there, we trace how gratitude shows up across traditions: Christianity, through prayer and gift-of-life theologyIslam, through shukr of heart, tongue, and actionBuddhism, through mindfulness, interbeing, and katannutaNew Age practice, through ritual, shadow work, and personal agencyWe honor Indigenous cultures without speaking over them, acknowledge harm without reframing it as “growth,” and explore how gratitude practices—from candle offerings and prayer, to journaling and daily reflection—can help reorient attention without denying pain. We also get real about the science: gratitude can support wellbeing, habit change, and resilience (Emmons & McCullough, Seligman), but results are mixed. Context matters. Autonomy matters even more. If all you take from this episode is one honest moment of peace, that’s enough. Gratitude doesn’t need to fix everything—it can just soften something. Sip along, share it with someone rebuilding their grounding, and tell us what you’re grateful for today (or not). We’re listening. Follow @ReligiosiTea everywhere it appears.

    Ghosts, Gods, and Gratitude

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of parental death, grief, childhood emotional hardship, spiritual disappointment/anger toward God, anxiety, depression, and references to ghosts/hauntings and spirit work. Please listen with care and step away if you need to. In this episode of ReligiosiTea, Adren sits down with his lifelong friend Raven to sip through a decades-long journey of grief, gods, ghost hunting, and the quiet kind of magic that helps you keep going. Raven shares how losing both parents cracked her world open and pulled her toward the underworld—toward Hades, shadow work, and a spirituality that holds both darkness and light. We talk about being a kid begging God for happiness, feeling betrayed when prayers seem unanswered, and what it’s like to move from bitter to better without pretending the hurt was “for a reason.” Raven shares how loss pulled her toward the underworld’s symbolism—endings, wealth, and what grows unseen—and why a raw plea at an altar felt like the first time she was truly heard. We unpack core values of kindness and community, then dig into shadow work as a practical way to face jealousy, fear, and anger without flinching. She explains how ghost hunting became spirit work, why protection is non-negotiable, and what respect looks like when you’re dealing with the dead. If you’ve ever wrestled with God after unanswered prayers, her journey from resentment to gratitude offers a grounded, compassionate map. The episode also gets specific about mental health tools. Affirmations—used as daily glamour magic while doing makeup—shift self-talk and rewire behavior, helping with anxiety, routines, and care for the body. We connect belief to better habits, gratitude to resilience, and boundaries to peace. Expect real stories, a few laugh-out-loud ghost moments, and clear takeaways you can test today: set protection, research before you open any door, and speak to yourself like someone you’re responsible for. It’s candid, funny, a little spooky, and deeply human—like sharing a pot of tea with a friend who’s survived the storm and is finally ready to tell the story. If this resonates, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who’s navigating loss or rebuilding their faith, and leave a review with your biggest insight or question—we’d love to hear the practice that changed you.

    Long Steep: Psycho - Sacred Delusions and Holy Madness

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! Content Warning: This episode discusses symptoms and impacts of psychosis, including hallucinations, delusions, cult dynamics, moral panics, religious trauma, and references to mass suicides and violence. It also touches on stress, trauma, and contemporary political upheaval. Please listen with care, and step away if you need. What if a single vision could ripple through millions of lives? In this Long Steep, Adren takes you to the uneasy edge where faith becomes certainty, certainty becomes prophecy, and prophecy collides with a hyperconnected world hungry for meaning. With warmth, rigor, and a pinch of irreverence, we steep in the phenomenon of religious psychosis—what it is, what it isn’t, and why the line between sincere devotion and sudden fracture matters. This isn’t just diagnosis; it’s interrogation. Along the way, we move through Jerusalem Syndrome and India Syndrome, the mechanics of charisma and cult formation, godspousing, moral panics, and even the dancing plague of 1518. RaptureTok becomes our case study: one pastor’s dream-whispered date, failed prophecy, and the viral movement that sold possessions and courted ascension. Through it all, we ask: are we watching psychosis, or witnessing a social epidemic dressed in prophecy? Highlights in this steep: Defining psychosis versus sincere spiritual experienceHallmark symptoms, novelty, and impairment thresholdsDifferential diagnosis and ruling out substancesStress, trauma, and place as triggers for visionsCharisma, cult logic, and godspousing distinctionsSkepticism, isolation, and family fracturesSocial epidemics, moral panics, and contagion (the dance plague)RaptureTok analysis: prophecy, spread, and aftermathPolitics of salvation and Christian nationalismCrisis response, red flags, and grounding practicesAt the heart of it: faith can heal and anchor, but it can also fracture under pressure. Learning the signs—and cultivating compassion—helps us safeguard both belief and well-being. So pour your tea, enter the CaTeadral, and steep with us.

    My Neighbor, the Philosopher

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! What happens when traditional religious spaces no longer feel authentic? Marie's spiritual journey takes us from Catholic pews and saint cards to a deeply personal practice centered on finding the divine within herself. The tension between our need for connection and our need for authenticity drives this conversation. Marie describes how her path evolved through Catholicism, Protestant Christianity, and monastery living before developing her current practice. With remarkable candor, she shares how institutional religion began feeling like "a skin that wasn't comfortable" despite her lifelong spiritual devotion. Marie's spirituality transforms everyday moments into sacred experiences. Her morning begins with intentional wordlessness and a powerful self-love affirmation. Her evenings become devotional as she disconnects from technology, cares for her home, and bids goodnight to her children. Through these rituals, she cultivates what philosopher Gabor Maté describes as our two essential human needs: connection and authenticity. Particularly fascinating is Marie's perspective on physical wellbeing as the foundation for spiritual health. "The body is the link to how I get to experience my spirituality," she explains. "How clear and healthy I am being with my body is how clear and healthy I can connect to the highest version of myself." For anyone questioning their relationship with institutional religion or seeking more authentic spiritual connection, this conversation offers both validation and practical guidance. Marie's journey reminds us that spiritual growth often requires embracing competing truths and developing compassion for every version of ourselves. Ready to explore your own spiritual path? Listen now and discover how finding your divine truth might transform your wellbeing in unexpected ways.

    Long Steep: Hellfire and Salt - Reflections on Holy War

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! This episode discusses heavy themes related to war and religion, including: Graphic descriptions of mental health impacts such as PTSD, depression, moral injury, and substance useMentions of death, grief, and suicideDiscussion of bombings, displacement, and healthcare collapseReferences to Christian nationalism, Zionism, and religiously-justified violenceExploration of spiritual psychosis and religious delusionSome biblical language may be emotionally triggering depending on personal religious background or trauma Listener discretion is advised—especially for those with lived experience of war, religious trauma, or moral distress. What happens when faith becomes a weapon? In this episode of ReligiosiTea, we venture into the paradox of holy war: how religion, often associated with peace, becomes the banner under which violence is sanctified. From the Crusades to current conflicts in Gaza, the language of God has long been used to justify conquest, displacement, and destruction. Politicians invoke divine mandates—like “those who bless Israel will be blessed”—to rationalize interventionism. Meanwhile, the machinery of Christian nationalism fuels both foreign and domestic policy, emboldening militarism with biblical flair. But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a reckoning. I peel back the layers of rhetoric to ask: what are the actual human costs of faith-fueled warfare? We dive into the psychological aftermath—PTSD, moral injury, collective grief—and the collapse of healthcare systems that follow in war’s wake. We explore how trauma distorts memory, how soldiers and civilians alike carry wounds that don’t bleed, and how war erodes not only bodies, but beliefs. There’s a reason veterans flinch at fireworks. There’s a reason entire generations disappear behind silence and addiction. And there’s a reason some people stop believing altogether. This episode also touches on the concept of spiritual psychosis: what happens when a person—or a government—uses faith to detach from shared reality. When religious delusion becomes a political driver, policy becomes prophecy, and violence becomes divine command. We’re not just talking about isolated extremists. We’re talking about the shaping of geopolitics through warped moral vision. And of course, I turn to the Bible itself. “Blessed are the peacemakers.” “Turn the other cheek.” “Live at peace with everyone.” These passages exist alongside verses used to justify genocide and conquest. So which scriptures get remembered—and why? What agendas do they serve? Through it all, I’m asking one thing: how do we cope when the sacred becomes weaponized? And is there a way to return to faith—not as a justification for war, but as a source of healing? This one’s heavy. Bring tea. Bring salt. We’re going to need both.

    Long Steep: White Smoke, Red Flags, the Papacy

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! In this Long Steep episode, Adren Warling unpacks the legacy of Francis, the chaos of Trump’s papal cosplay, the rise of Pope Leo XIV, and what it all means for public health, queer dignity, climate collapse, and the politics of salvation. From ordo amoris to holy smoke, this is where theology meets theory, and faith meets fire. Whether you're Catholic or just spiritually nosy, this episode is for you. When Pope Francis died on Easter Monday 2025, the world lost more than a pope—it lost a spiritual disruptor. His papacy reshaped how Catholicism approached environmental justice, poverty, and global inequality. And now? An American cardinal steps into his sandals. Francis wasn't just noteworthy for being the first Jesuit pope or the first from Latin America. His leadership style – living in a Vatican guest house, traveling by bus with cardinals, and consistently prioritizing the marginalized – embodied a different vision of spiritual authority. His landmark encyclical Laudato Si' directly connected environmental degradation to public health outcomes, exposing how pollution and resource scarcity disproportionately harm vulnerable populations. What made Francis truly revolutionary was his willingness to challenge power structures while remaining firmly within Catholic tradition. He never endorsed same-sex marriage or abortion, but shifted focus away from sexual ethics toward economic justice and care for creation. His famous confrontation with American Vice President JD Vance over the concept of "ordo amoris" revealed competing visions of Christianity – one that arranges love in hierarchical order versus Francis's universal embrace that refuses to rank human dignity. The aftermath of Francis's death brought peculiar American spectacle – from apocalyptic Reddit threads to President Trump's AI-generated images of himself in papal regalia. This bizarre theater revealed something profound about the intersection of religion and politics, showing how easily sacred imagery can be weaponized to promote nationalism and exclusion. Now Pope Leo XIV (formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost), the first American pope, steps into this complex legacy. With his background in canon law and missionary work in Peru, Leo embodies tensions within Catholicism – between preservation and progress, between doctrinal conservatism and social justice. His papacy arrives at a pivotal moment when questions about climate crisis, migration, healthcare access, and economic inequality require moral frameworks as much as policy solutions. Whether Catholic or not, we all have a stake in what emerges from the Vatican in coming years. When religious authority shapes how billions understand their responsibility toward the vulnerable, the sick, and our common planetary home, the conversation around faith and health becomes one we ignore at our peril.

    The Preacher's Daughter, A Witch

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! Content Warnings: This episode contains discussions of: Mental health struggles, including depression and anxietyReligious trauma and themes of spiritual disconnectionParanormal experiences and supernatural encountersDeath and illness, including family health crisesGuns and references to firearm useSexual and sensual content, including dream experiences involving desire and boundariesPlease listen with care and step away if you need to. Take what resonates, and leave what doesn’t. Episode Description: What happens when the God you were raised to love never speaks back—but a wolf god does? In this deeply personal episode, Brittany shares her spiral journey from Baptist churches and childhood guilt to sigils, scrying, and self-resurrection through witchcraft and Norse mythology. After years of struggling with depression and anxiety—and a strained relationship with her preacher father—Brittany began exploring alternative spiritualities that not only made space for her questions, but talked back. We explore: The misunderstood story of Fenrir, and what it means to feel rage and still be sacredHow Freya became a guide for self-love, boundaries, and feminine reclamationThe difference between being told what to believe and feeling something for the first timeWhat it means to “work with” deities, including dreams, offerings, and shadow workThe grief of religious disconnection and the strange empowerment of supernatural experiencesThis deeply personal conversation explores how alternative spiritual frameworks can transform mental health when conventional approaches fall short. Having struggled with anxiety and depression for nearly two decades, Brittany found that therapy gave her tools she couldn't effectively use until discovering witchcraft: "It helped me pinpoint all the problems I needed to focus on. Everything they taught me in therapy before, I now figured out how to utilize properly."  We dive into fascinating aspects of Norse mythology, including the misunderstood story of Fenrir and the multifaceted nature of Freya. Brittany explains how these deities became active collaborators in her healing journey, helping with everything from anger management to self-love. "When I practice, I feel on top of my game," she shares. "My entire attitude shifts and I love it."  The episode also explores practical elements of witchcraft - from scrying and sigil-making to protection protocols - while addressing important considerations like cultural appropriation and misinformation in spiritual communities. Brittany's advice for newcomers emphasizes research, protection, and developing personal discernment. Whether you're curious about alternative spirituality or seeking ways to enhance your own well-being, this conversation offers valuable insights about finding authentic connection with the divine. As Brittany wisely notes: "No matter what deities or religion you rely upon, you need to have a one-on-one relationship. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." This episode unpacks the emotional, spiritual, and mental health impact of finding a belief system that works on your terms—even when it means leaving everything you were taught behind. “Witchcraft gave me the tools to finally use what I learned in therapy.”Follow me on Instagram and Threads: @ReligiosiTea You can use the link at the top of the show notes or email me at religiositea@gmail.com to share your stories, thoughts, insights, reactions, and much more!

    What the Flock?

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! Lucy's faith journey unfolds like many roads less traveled—winding, marked with detours, yet always finding its way back to a divine center. As a Christian attending a Baptist church, she describes herself as "more spiritual than anything," embodying a relationship with God that transcends religious formality. What makes this conversation remarkable is Lucy's candor about the ebb and flow of faith. "I've had times I've strayed from God, questioned things or felt distant," she shares, "but no matter how far I drift, I always find myself being pulled back." This magnetic return forms the backbone of her spiritual experience—an authentic relationship rather than rigid adherence to tradition. Lucy's approach to Christianity centers on "living in love" and inclusiveness. Her favorite biblical story—the adulterous woman from John 8—reveals her connection to Jesus's protection of the marginalized and his reminder that none are without sin. This understanding shapes her welcoming perspective: "God loves everybody...black, white, Mexican, gay, transgendered." The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Lucy discusses her Graves' disease diagnosis. Despite the autoimmune condition affecting her eyes and heart, she never blamed God—a response that surprised even her colleagues. When her condition mysteriously went into remission without medical intervention after losing insurance coverage, Lucy sees divine intervention at work. Perhaps most compelling is Lucy's blending of traditional Christianity with other spiritual elements—using crystals and sage in her home while contextualizing these practices within her Christian faith. "If I sage my house, I pray to God to protect my house," she explains, finding harmony between seemingly disparate traditions. For anyone exploring faith, Lucy offers refreshing advice: be yourself, find a denomination that aligns with your values, and "don't judge a church based off of the people...judge it based off of how you feel when you're there." Her testimony presents contemporary faith as something deeply personal yet universally accessible—where imperfection is expected and authentic connection matters most.

    A non-Holy Trinity

    Spill your ReligiosiTea directly with the show host! Let us know your reactions, stories, and more! (Content Warnings) This episode touches on themes of homosexuality, brief mention of sexual assault, and religious trauma. These themes might be difficult for some listeners to hear. Please be advised.  (Description) This episode was actually the first episode ever recorded for ReligiosiTea! Even before the introduction. This episode is also one of probably a few episodes that will eventually be recorded in a natural/organic setting rather than having a quiet studio-like space. This conversation took place around a kitchen table! This will not be the case for all episodes, but is part of the organic nature of the show.  In this conversation, I had the opportunity to speak to my partner, Mark, and my cousin, Amberly about their different experiences of Catholicism. Because this conversation took part with 3 people, we formed a trinity of sorts to discuss themes of Catholicism through different and shared experiences with the faith (Hence the episode title A non-Holy Trinity). Mark grew up in the Philippines and Amberly grew up in Mexican Catholicism as practiced in a city on the US-Mexico border. I asked each of them to share their experiences with faith both as a personal experience and as a cultural construct in which they were raised.  We dive into conversations about folklore, traditions, and beliefs between these two different cultures. We then transition into a conversation about each of their religious trajectories, whether or not they still identify with that faith, what their spirituality looks like now, and how they feel about their faith. Finally, we move into a discussion about how they each consider faith or spirituality in relation to their health, especially their mental health.  (Content Caveat) The conversations here are exploratory on my part. I didn't have an opportunity to do research on these topics aside from my own personal knowledge, so the ideas presented here are based purely on lay understandings of the religious and cultural topics discussed. We are not using this space to present purely accurate information, but rather to discuss and engage with personal knowledges around these topics.
