What should be done with religion today?

In this short conversation, Shawn McCraney shares his perspective on the role religion should play in modern life. While many people see religious institutions as necessary for stability and community, Shawn argues that the true center of faith should not be found in institutions but in the home.

According to his view, spiritual life is ultimately lived at the individual and family level. Religious organizations may still provide social benefits and community structure, but the responsibility for understanding faith and scripture belongs to each person and household.

This perspective reflects a broader idea taught through Shawn’s work: that individuals can explore faith, scripture, and their relationship with God without relying on institutional authority to define it for them.
