Grant Schnar and the Mysteries of Faith Podcast

“Mysteries of Faith EP1: A Loving God”

Description

In today’s world, many people are disillusioned with traditional religious teachings, finding them disconnected from the realities of modern life. Yet, the longing for a deeper connection to the Divine persists. You Can Believe! by Grant Schnarr is a powerful response to this widespread spiritual hunger. Drawing on his extensive experience as a minister, teacher, and life coach, Schnarr introduces “the new Christianity,” an inclusive and compassionate faith grounded in the teachings of the eighteenth-century theologian Emanuel Swedenborg.

Schnarr begins by acknowledging the challenges that modern individuals face when it comes to faith. He addresses the common barriers to belief—past hurts from rigid religious doctrines, the cynicism bred by a materialistic culture, and the pervasive sense of spiritual emptiness that many feel today. With a combination of logical reasoning and heartfelt storytelling, Schnarr dismantles these barriers, offering readers a fresh perspective on God, spirituality, and the meaning of life.

At the core of You Can Believe! is the idea that true spirituality is not about blind adherence to dogma, but about finding a personal, meaningful relationship with God. Schnarr emphasizes that God is not a distant, judgmental figure but a loving presence that seeks to guide each person toward a life of love, integrity, and fulfillment. He reassures readers that their spiritual journey does not have to be hindered by past experiences or negative associations with religion. Instead, he invites them to explore a faith that is both rational and deeply rooted in love.

Schnarr’s approach is refreshingly inclusive. He encourages readers to explore different spiritual paths and to find the teachings that resonate most with their own experiences and values. By doing so, he makes a compelling case for a belief system that is flexible, compassionate, and deeply human.

You Can Believe! is more than just a book; it’s a roadmap for those seeking to rebuild their faith on a foundation of love and understanding. Whether you are new to spiritual exploration or have been on the journey for years, Schnarr’s insights will inspire you to embrace a more meaningful and fulfilling spiritual life. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to reconnect with their spiritual roots in a way that feels both authentic and empowering.
