    In this episode of Grief 2 Growth, I sit down with David Hulse, a kindred soul whose journey closely mirrors my own—a shift from fear-based religion to love-centered spirituality. As a spiritual guide, teacher, and founder of the Academy for Spiritual Awakening, David has dedicated his life to helping others release limiting beliefs and awaken to a more expansive, compassionate faith.

    From his early days in fundamentalist Christianity to discovering the healing power of sound, frequency, and vibration, David’s story is one of transformation, courage, and deep wisdom.

    One of the most powerful moments in this episode is David’s first-hand experience helping release Oral Roberts’ son’s spirit—a remarkable insight into how religious beliefs can keep souls earthbound.

    Whether you’ve struggled with rigid religious teachings, are questioning your beliefs, or are simply curious about a more loving, inclusive spirituality, this conversation will inspire and challenge you.

    What We Discuss in This Episode:

    🔥 David’s transformation from fundamentalist Christianity to love-based spirituality
    🎶 How sound, frequency, and vibration can be powerful tools for awakening
    🤔 The dangers of fear-based religious teachings and how to break free
    🌍 The concept of universal reconciliation—does everyone return to God?
    📖 How hidden wisdom in the Bible reveals a more inclusive spirituality
    🕊️ David’s extraordinary story of releasing Oral Roberts’ son’s spirit
