Soul Over Ego: In the World, Not of It | Daily Bread

The church is witnessing a profound spiritual battle in 2026, where the struggle between ego and soul is reaching a fever pitch. This isn’t just a debate; it’s a dramatic confrontation, exposing deep-seated divisions rooted in our spiritual identity.

We’re observing an age-old contest between who we are in the flesh and who we’re called to be in Christ, amplified by current cultural and political pressures. This isn’t a comfortable reality, but it’s crucial that we confront it openly and honestly.

Authenticity Unveiled: When Winning Isn’t the Point

What’s the real reason I share anything I share? That question snuck up on me recently — not from someone else, but from myself. The honest answer turned out to matter more than I expected.

This post is about that question, and what it revealed when I started looking around at how faith gets performed online versus how Scripture actually models it. The Bible is full of people who questioned God, fact-checked apostles, wrestled all night, demanded evidence, and were honored for it. Truth doesn’t need a bodyguard. It thrives in the open.

So here’s my invitation: push back. Ask harder. Say “but what about ____?” That’s not a threat to what I believe. Growth is the point. Not winning.

Authenticity Unveiled: Noise of Ego vs. Voice of Spirit

The clash between illusion and truth is not only around us. It is within us. Nowhere is that battle clearer than in the noise of ego versus the voice of Spirit. The ego is loud.

Authenticity Unveiled: Truth and Illusion

The truth does not flatter.It frees. In our world and reality today, people often hate, fear, and avoid truth. Why? Because truth does not coddle us. It calls us out of darkness and into light. It strips away illusions until we are face to face with the reality of who we are and who GodContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled: Truth and Illusion”

A Continuing Discussion on Discernment: On Dependency, Communion, and Channeling

There’s a specific kind of fog that settles in when people lose their spiritual grounding but still want to sound enlightened. It gets thicker in comment sections, especially under videos like the one I recently saw of Eckhart Tolle. In the video, he’s talking about the difference between channeling and communion. And while his toneContinueContinue reading “A Continuing Discussion on Discernment: On Dependency, Communion, and Channeling”

The Virtue of Temperance: A Path to Balance and Freedom

Temperance is one of the oldest virtues known to humanity, and it remains as relevant today as it was in ancient times. Historically, temperance has been associated with combating the sin of gluttony—not just in terms of physical indulgence, but also in how we allow ourselves to be consumed by excessive desires or passions.

Karma, Disasters, and the Disconnect: Restoring Balance in a Chaotic World + A Call for Compassion

There’s a word that seems to get thrown around with reckless abandon every time a disaster strikes or a tragedy unfolds: karma. Whether it’s in reference to a hurricane that devastates coastal communities, wildfires reducing entire towns to ashes, or even broader societal struggles, “karma” is often invoked as a weapon—used to justify suffering, assignContinueContinue reading “Karma, Disasters, and the Disconnect: Restoring Balance in a Chaotic World + A Call for Compassion”
