Shownotes

Many of us think harmony means having everything under control. Author Marcia McFarland joins host Bharati on Sacred Harmony to explore why peace isn't something we achieve alone, but something we find through connection with God.

Marcia shares how her own divorce led her back to faith, and why the term perfect glory came to her as a reminder that grace, not perfection, is the goal.

ABOUT THE GUEST:

Marcia McFarland is the author of Perfect Glory: 21 Spiritual Insights for the 21st Century. Her book draws on personal testimony and everyday reflection to help readers deepen their faith and let go of the need to be perfect.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Harmony isn't something we achieve alone; it grows through connection with God.
  • Let go of shame and perfectionism; both come from the same root, the ego.
  • Notice small God winks, the quiet coincidences that remind you you're not alone.
  • Make space to slow down, even just a few minutes, to reconnect with your spirit.
