I’m excited for today’s show and our theme which is the Power of Faith, Religious and Non Religious with Warren Broad. This is a great topic that I feel will bring value to you for the rest of your life. At first glance I was thinking, non religious faith? Sure… but what about faith when you don’t believe in spirituality?
Is that even possible? But then I realized that when I put everything on the line to go work with shamans in the jungle of Peru it was surely an act of faith. I considered myself atheist at that time. At a bare minimum this has to be what our guest means by an act of faith… but we’ll let him answer that himself.
Faith doesn’t have to be attached to any religion or dogma. Even driving your car can be considered a leap of faith. We are using faith all the time although there are obviously different types of faith and outcomes of faith.
Typically, religious people put their faith and believe in something that they can’t see or proven and that it will have some sort of impact on their life. Warren presents another type of faith which is tied to the ‘faith phenomenon’. When you begin to have faith in your healing or religious a transition can happen in the brain from simply thinking it to experiencing faith. There is a transformation that happens when you don’t simply use the analytical mind.
Warren goes into the subject of confidence and how it relates to the spiritual component of faith. An example is provided using sports and running. Faith is about knowing.
When we hit a bottom we look for a place in our lives for the world, spirit or lack of spirit to show us something. Whether we are spiritual or not does not prevent a person from accessing faith, the power which it provides and improving your life through it.
Faith allows growth to happen. It is an essential component of what we are as human beings. Warren gives you several tools and methods to increase your faith. He gives you examples of physical manifestations of the power of faith as well as the ripple effects that are made possible. In the later part of the interview our guest goes in more length about the concept of checking in, the forms that it can take and how this will help you access the power of faith.
Listen to this episode with Warren Broad and gain insights on the power of faith and how it can transform your life.

Warren discusses the importance of checking in to cultivate faith. He gives you several methods that you can use for this.
Checking in can be having a conversation with your God such as the practice done by many Christians.
You can check in by doing a regular meditation practice. This can be with or without sounds or chanting.
Checking in can also be a very direct conversation with another person. Warren gives several examples of how you can check-in with another person.
Checking in can be an internal process such as taking a few deep breaths to disconnect from the stimulation of the external world. This is followed by a few breaths to listen to your body, feelings, emotions and thoughts.
Mark Rist is the founder of Theo Minds LLC, a religious organization founded for the purpose of helping people be united to Jesus Christ in a mystical union of divine love. This interview is anything but what you expect.
Mark talks about Ecstasy in Christ… and makes connections with Hinduism, shamanism, the Tao Te Ching, Sufi whirling dances, and the journey to transcend the physical world. This leads him to share with you a technique of prayer that resembles mantras that are chanted by yogis.
What is the end point of faith? Mark discusses this very sensitive topic and blissful love, baptism and original sin. Regardless of your path this interview is sure to deepen your reflection on your personal journey.
