These are the audios from our main presentations on YouTube.com/BridgingBeliefsDelve into Bahá'í and philosophical subjects, principles, and objections. This individual initiative is not authoritative, but merely represents my understanding of the Bahá'í Faith. I encourage you to read the Baha'i Writings independently and visit www.bahai.org.

Chiefly, however, such an objection offers Bahá'ís an invitation to set the principles reviewed here more explicitly in the evolutionary context provided in Bahá'u'lláh's writings." --One Common Faith, p 24YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/BridgingBeliefsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/bridgingbeliefsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BridgingBeliefs9Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgingbeliefs9Twitter: https://twitter.com/BridgingBeliefsOfficial Bahá'í website: http://www.bahai.org
