110: Part 10/12: Greg Kelly Says Grace is a Springboard for Transformation: How to Build a Relationship with God Series

In this episode of Permission to Be Human, hosts Janelle Orion and Andrea Enright sit down with investor Greg Kelly for a conversation that refuses to play small. They dive into the messy, mystical, utterly human process of building a relationship with God—one that's less about dogma and more about direct experience, curiosity, and love in motion. Greg, raised Catholic, opens up about his encounters with the divine, the healing tension between skepticism and faith, and how a simple postcard project became a quiet revolution of compassion. It's an unexpectedly rip-roaring good time. There's a nod to Les Mis, siritual consultant Kristin Bredimus and The Emerald podcast. You'll hear:

-Why if we make space, a relationship with God is always available.

-An encounter with a witch, Jesus and spirits in Boston

-A new take of the "placebo" effect

-How faith can unlock dormant human potential. For real.

-Why logic vs. mysticism is part of the spiritual path.

-Greg's definition of Grace--a springboard for transformation

-About the day a pedestrian ran out in front of his car

-How spirituality and mental health are often playing together

-Why playing your little part in peace might be enough

You'll hear:
