The Fire Within: A Pursuit of Truth
The Mountain Metaphor That Changed How I See Humanity, Unity, and God’s Plan
This might be the most vulnerable and raw episode I’ve ever recorded.
We’re diving deep into one of the most powerful and personal questions of all time...who is Jesus Christ? In this second part of our “Case for God” series, I unpack not just historical evidence, but the heart-changing fire of faith that lights the soul. We explore the symbolism behind our search for higher order, how unity can only come through seeing each other as children of God, and why suffering may just be the sanctifier of the soul.
I open up about my belief that time itself is not innate to us, we are eternal beings, meant for more. We talk about what real faith looks like, and why true conversion doesn’t just come from belief, but from aligning our lives with what we know to be true. And we finish where everything begins and ends: the Atonement. The source of all light, love, and healing.
If you’re looking for something that speaks to both the mind and the soul, this one’s for you.
