Spiritual Reflections: On Faith, Values, and Culture

This book addresses the deeper issues that matter most in life: faith, wisdom, values, spirituality, relationships, connection, and self-reflection. As our world becomes more and more secular, people remain restless and hungry to discuss these important topics. What does it mean to grow spiritually? What does it mean to do meaningful soul work? What are the values and priorities that should matter most? What type of culture will our children and grandchildren inherit? Here are a few insights that I believe to be true.

-All human beings long for meaning and deeper purpose in their lives.

-Jesus Christ continues to speak to and challenge our culture.

-Issues of character and integrity are very important.

-Growth in the spiritual life has become much more challenging in this busy age of technology, multi- tasking, and over-commitment.

-Relationships are essential and can cause great joy and fulfillment as well as pain and heartache.

-Politics and ideology have become both polarizing and toxic in many ways, deeply dividing families and friendships.

-Wisdom is much more valuable than knowledge.

-Social isolation and loneliness will continue to be one of the great challenges of the twenty-first century.

-We live in an age of anxiety, where fear abounds and overwhelms many.

-We all long to move beyond superficiality to a much deeper level of connection.

-There are many values that must be passed down from generation to generation
