  • Episode 194: Gandhi, a Family’s Search for God, and the Difference Between Knowing Jesus and Knowing About Him | Dr. Douglas Shaw

    Episode 194: Gandhi, a Family’s Search for God, and the Difference Between Knowing Jesus and Knowing About Him | Dr. Douglas Shaw
    Oct 27 2026

    Have you ever known a lot about God but still felt something was missing? Discover the difference between knowing about Jesus and personally trusting Him in this powerful conversation with Dr. Douglas Shaw.

    On this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, we sit down with Dr. Douglas M. Shaw to explore an extraordinary family story spanning generations, cultures, and a remarkable connection to Mahatma Gandhi.

    Born and raised in India, Dr. Shaw shares how his Muslim great-grandfather encountered Jesus, how his Hindu yogi grandfather searched for peace for six years before discovering the Gospel of John, and how his family's faith journey intersected with Gandhi's life and spiritual search.

    But this conversation goes beyond history. What does it really mean to know Jesus personally instead of simply admiring Him? How can we share our faith without arguing or pressuring others? And if you've experienced church hurt, how do you keep that pain from becoming a barrier between you and Jesus?

    Dr. Shaw also shares lessons from his 18 years serving as president of International Students Inc. and explains how hospitality, practical kindness, and genuine love can open doors for meaningful conversations about faith.
