Spiritual but not Religious, from No Small Endeavor Nov 10, 2026

Show notes

Here's a sneak peek of an episode from the podcast No Small Endeavor, hosted by Lee C. Camp. Living well is a lifelong practice, and No Small Endeavor gives you the tools and perspectives to keep refining that process.

Lee talks with world-class thinkers, psychologists, authors, and philosophers about what it really takes to live a good life—not in theory, but in practice. In his latest series, Lee explores the human ache that secularism can't explain, and the new spiritualities that may not be able to fill it. He travels around the world, talking to guests on both sides of the war between science and religion. Like Belle Tindall-Riley, a biblical scholar from rural Wales who grew up lying to her classmates about going to church. In this episode, Belle explains why she reads practices like manifesting, tarot, crystals, and WitchTok for the true longing underneath. She examines the limits of a spirituality that always tells you you're doing just fine. You'll come away asking questions of your own spirituality: does it ever tell me no?
