In the third episode of Shifts in Sanity, we explore the idea that God is love and examine the difference between surface-level happiness and genuine internal happiness, which serves as the first key to self-love. The episode discusses how churches can serve as spaces for discovering and connecting with God’s love, emphasizing that true fulfillment comes from within rather than from external sources.

This Episode explores how our longing for connection, spiritual, emotional, and scientific, shapes our understanding of love, God, and what it means to belong. It asks whether our search for the divine is really a search for ultimate unity and acceptance, and how both spiritual traditions and psychology point us toward the same fundamental need.

In the debut episode of Shifts in Sanity, Michael Chandler unpacks a lifetime spent searching for truth across psychology, spirituality, and lived experience. After a near-death experience shatters old certainties, the episode explores the nature of love, connection, and the mysterious presence that unites us all—beyond doctrine or dogma. With honesty and curiosity, this episode invites listeners to question what sanity means, how belief shapes us, and whether love might be at the root of it all.
