Episode Description:

Heart of the Matter host Shawn McCraney discusses the importance of subjective faith in contrast to objective religion, emphasizing personal worship in spirit and truth while expressing gratitude for support on the Transversional Apostolic Record project. The episode features Reverend Brian Diggs, a former professional wrestler, who will also present his views, advocating for Objectively Delivered religion and sharing his experience leading UMCOR West in providing disaster relief across the country.

Shawn argues that subjective faith, which allows individuals the freedom to pursue personal beliefs and practices, is preferable to objective faith based on institutional doctrines that can lead to divisions, political agendas, and a focus on material aspects of religion. He emphasizes that subjective faith aligns with the biblical notion of unshakeable faith and criticizes the impact of organized religion's rigid structures and expectations on the genuine teachings of Jesus.
