The two explore what it means to feel that loving presence every day, and how hard it can be when that presence starts asking something from you in return.If you've ever wrestled with the idea of letting go of pain, or felt like your past was too heavy to release, this one's for you. We talk real spirituality—not religion—and how connecting with something higher can both lift you up and challenge you to grow.Whether you're deep in your own spiritual journey or just trying to figure out what the hell is going on with your life, this episode is a safe space for that conversation.✅ Key TakeawaysYou can start talking to God (or a higher energy) from any place—pain or peace—and both are valid.That presence is always with you, not just when you pray.The energy of God/love may start asking you to change—and that’s where the real challenge begins.Holding onto past pain can feel like identity, but letting go is where healing lives.Real connection with something higher often means facing yourself, even the parts you want to avoid.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – How Michael first talked to God from a dark place01:15 – Spanish’s connection to God from a place of curiosity and love02:20 – The difference in approaching spirituality from fear vs love03:10 – Growing up without religion, but still finding a higher energy04:05 – Realizing God doesn’t leave when prayer ends05:00 – Understanding the constant presence of love and forgiveness06:12 – When God starts asking something from you07:15 – The danger of ignoring what that energy is asking08:10 – How pain becomes identity and why we struggle to let go09:15 – Letting go of old stories and facing your highest self10:00 – The real fight: between who you are and who you're meant to be10:45 – “Just two dudes talking about feelings” – and proud of it#MensMentalHealth #SpiritualJourney #TalkToGod #LetGoOfPain #HealingJourney #FaithWithoutReligion #DarkNightOfTheSoul #HigherSelf #EmotionalHealing #GodIsLove #UnconditionalLove #MentalHealthForMen #LetsGetReal #MichaelSharkey #Spanish #MensSpirituality #PodcastForMen #ConsciousLiving #ShadowWork #InnerPeace #EmotionalWellness #DailySpiritualPractice #FaithOverFear #MasculinityAndFaith #SelfAwareness❤️ Follow Let's Get Real everywhere!🔔 SUBSCRIBE to Let's Get Real for Updates and Surprises✅ Instagram: @soul_spanish✅ Instagram: @iammichaelsharkey✅ TikTok: @iammichaelsharkey"Let
