Bad At My Religion
In a world full of beautiful spirituality, why do so many people struggle to live their faith -no matter what it is- authentically? Join host Josh Galt as he interviews religious and philosophical leaders from around the globe to explore the core principles of their beliefs and how individuals can reconnect with their faith in today’s society. It’s important to note, the B.A.M.R. podcast is NOT an attack on religion—it’s a search for solutions, uncovering practical ways to live a more meaningful, spiritually grounded life. --- Josh Galt is a former extreme athlete who has traveled to more than 70 countries, seeking to understand the people and belief systems in every region he has visited and lived in. After being raised by Christian missionaries and having incredibly profound experiences as a child in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe along with Native American reservations, he left the faith as an adult and spent decades seeking to understand God in every corner of the planet….and universe!

A noble death is ACCESS to life
That’s the real reason why suicide backfires
Humans are on a spiritual loosh farm, a prison planet being milked for negative energies
The only way out is to re-connect with the Divine directly and transcend the constraints of this realm
That’s why Jesus was able to perform miracles and speak so simply and clearly a child could understand it - he understood the way to the source is within
