<p>In this episode, Pete Holmes explains his practice of saying “Yes, Thank You” and how he practices non-resistance, a way of letting life be what it is instead of fighting it. Pete is well known from his long running podcast, You Made It Weird, and his book Comedy, Sex, God. Both mix humor with deep spiritual reflection, and this conversation explores that very same space. He discusses letting go of willpower-driven faith, embracing mystery, and finding joy in the very moments we usually resist.</p><p><strong>Exciting News!!! </strong>My new book, <a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/book-episode%20show%20notes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life,</em></strong> is now available for pre-orders!</a></p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Spiritual journey and personal growth</li><li>The nature of sin as unconsciousness</li><li>The balance between being and doing</li><li>Practicing non-resistance and acceptance</li><li>The impact of modern culture on pleasure and satisfaction</li><li>The evolution of beliefs from evangelical Christianity to a broader spirituality</li><li>Understanding the importance of presence and mindfulness in everyday life</li><li>The concept of the “false self” versus the “real self”</li><li>Embracing curiosity and mystery in spiritual exploration</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you enjoyed this conversation with Pete Holmes, check out these other episodes:</p><p><a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/soul-boom-mental-health-spirituality-and-connection/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Soul Boom Discussion on Mental Health, Spirituality, and Connection with Rainn Wilson</a></p><p><a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/spiritual-journeys/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spiritual Journeys with Rainn Wilson & Reza Aslan</a></p><p>For full show notes,<a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/practicing-non-resistance/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> click here</a>!</p><p><strong>Connect with the show:</strong></p><ul><li>Follow us on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheOneYouFeedPod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TheOneYouFeedPod</a></li><li>Subscribe on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ms/podcast/the-one-you-feed/id792555885" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> or <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4byxEuJGV8xnxlgoqHQxxs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a></li><li>Follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/one_you_feed/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>This episode is sponsored by:</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Wow-Culture-Catalyst-Lasting/dp/1639081593" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Delivering the WOW</em></a>; Check out Richard Fain’s new book, a behind-the-scenes look at how he transformed Royal Caribbean into a world-class company through culture, innovation, and intentional leadership. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Wow-Culture-Catalyst-Lasting/dp/1639081593" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Available now on Amazon and wherever you get your books.</a></p><p><a href="http://drinkag1.com/feed" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AGZ</a> – Start taking your sleep seriously with AGZ.
