This line—“Jung spoke about religion as essential to your soul—and it isn’t about following a set of rules—but about responding to a holy stirring.”—made me rethink our standard saying “It’s not a religion but a relationship.” That no longer feels specific enough. Is there a way to better communicate that we mean a first-love relationship that comes with a soul-level stirring?
Great reflection, and yes, I think "new language" is necessary for what we see arising from the depths of the Spirit. Here is something that I think nods to this. What do you think of: It’s more than a relationship; it’s a life awakened and continually stirred by God, where your soul is drawn into Him and slowly reshaped over time.

Yes, that captures it.
