  • Wayne Mcdaniel: From Faith Deconstruction to Light-Filled Children’s Stories & Global Adventures /Ep 4110

About Wayne McDaniel

My mission is to help people experience the Light—to discover the light within and connect deeply to the ultimate Light Source (God). I believe this connection empowers people to live more fully and expand their vision of what’s truly possible...

…A Transformational Spiritual Journey

My spiritual path began in the Presbyterian tradition and later led me through 40 years of deep involvement in charismatic and evangelical churches. After graduating from Oral Roberts University and being “Baptized in the Spirit,” my faith took a dramatic turn in 2019 during a season of deconstruction and a profound dark night of the soul. This ultimately opened the door to a more expansive and mystical form of Christian spirituality.

My personal transformation has included explorations in:

  • Quantum physics and critical thinking
  • Plant medicine (Ayahuasca and psilocybin)
  • Meditation and breathwork

Through it all, I continue learning what it truly means to “die that I might live.”

Life Beyond the Ordinary

I’ve lived a life of adventure—as an entrepreneur, I founded and ran a financial planning and investment advisory firm, supported a rural village in India, and traveled to over 30 countries including Iceland, Kyrgyzstan, India, and China. I’m a husband, father, grandfather, and dog lover who enjoys hiking and cycling with my family.
