What happens when a spiritual mentor you trust suddenly changes their beliefs, jumps tracks, or even has a fall from grace? 

It can feel like the foundation of your spiritual journey has been shaken. In this powerful episode of the Spiritual Spotlight Series, Jake Paul, Rachel Garrett, and Melissa Neely dive deep into the complex emotions, lessons, and opportunities for growth that arise when a mentor’s path no longer aligns with yours.

In This Episode, We Explore:
🔹 Why spiritual mentors change – Understanding shifts in beliefs, ego traps, and personal evolution.
🔹 How to process your emotions – Dealing with confusion, disappointment, or even betrayal.
🔹 Reclaiming your own power – Why your spiritual growth is not dependent on one person.
🔹 Seeking wisdom from multiple sources – The importance of building a diverse spiritual foundation.
🔹 When to walk away vs. when to stay – Discerning whether a mentor’s changes are healthy evolutions or warning signs.
🔹 Lessons in discernment – How to recognize red flags in spiritual leadership.
🔹 Does their past wisdom still hold value? – Separating teachings from the teacher.
🔹 The role of compassion – Seeing mentors as human while still holding them accountable.

A mentor’s change in beliefs doesn’t have to derail your journey—in fact, it can be an invitation to deepen your own spiritual autonomy, question what truly resonates, and reclaim your personal power. Whether you've personally experienced a mentor’s fall from grace or simply want to be prepared for the unexpected, this episode offers wisdom, guidance, and support on navigating this often-challenging experience.
