HOTM EPIPHANY

Shawn and Delaney examine what Shawn calls “Spiritual Darwinism” within Mormonism. The episode exposes how systems reward conformity and suppress free thought, equating order with holiness. In contrast, they present the Yeshuan vision of unity of heart rather than mind, where faith and love are freely lived without hierarchy.

As His workmanship, our lives become love expressed through daily work.
