Who’s Guarding the Gate? Unpacking Spiritual Gatekeeping
In this bold and enlightening episode of Spiritual Spotlight Series, hosts Michelle Margiotta, Jake Paul, and Rachel Garrett tackle one of the most important—and often uncomfortable—topics in modern spiritual communities: spiritual gatekeeping.
What happens when spiritual spaces, meant to foster healing and connection, become exclusive, judgmental, or hierarchical? Who decides what’s “real” spirituality—and what’s not?
Spiritual gatekeeping refers to the harmful practice of using knowledge, tradition, or perceived authority to exclude, shame, or belittle others on their spiritual path.
Whether it’s through elitist language, rejection of diverse practices, or rigid rules about how spirituality “should” look, gatekeeping creates barriers to growth and inclusivity.
In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore:
🔒 The roots of spiritual gatekeeping—power, control, and ego
🌍 How spiritual elitism harms newcomers, marginalized voices, and evolving traditions
🧙♀️ Why obscure language and rituals can alienate rather than inspire
📿 The importance of accessibility and openness in spiritual communities
🌈 Encouraging freedom of spiritual expression without judgment or hierarchy
Michelle, Jake, and Rachel call for a more inclusive, heart-centered approach to spirituality—one that celebrates exploration, honors diverse traditions, and respects the sacred uniqueness of each person’s path.
Whether you’ve experienced gatekeeping or are reflecting on your own spiritual leadership, this episode will inspire you to build bridges, not barriers, and hold space for others with greater humility and compassion.
🎧 Listen now and join the conversation about reclaiming spirituality for everyone—not just the few at the gate.
