Question everything is a maxim I've lived by since I brought it to a men's Bible study years ago, back when Dawn and I were still in the institutional church. In this solo episode I talk about how most of us live by rules we never wrote, handed down by parents, culture and religion, and why we fight to defend them. When a belief feels like who you are, questioning it can feel like death, so we stay small and call it morality. I look at the nice guy belief in men, the women whose mothers told them never to rely on a man, and the beliefs we carry about monogamy, money, the body and sex.

I share what happened when Dawn and I left the church and our whole social circle stopped talking to us, and why grieving a false life is part of the process. We get into choosing truth over safety, love over control and integrity over image, and three questions to ask of any belief: who told me this was true, who benefits from me believing it, and what am I afraid would happen if I let it go. Power exchange magnifies everything. A Dominant leading from fear becomes controlling, and a submissive submitting from fear is performing.

Unexamined beliefs about love shape how you lead, how you follow and where you'll accept love. Rapture is where Dawn and I teach a dynamic built on truth, polarity and surrender from both of you. It's our flagship course for couples. Start it here:
