It depends on how it is done but what we are drifting into, which is that people grow up without any sense of a spiritual dimension to life, is just impoverishing.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.

When spirituality is the basis of your life, it gives you the strength, wisdom and courage to surmount the many storms of life that could destroy a weaker person who doesn't have this foundation.

I've been praying that we might have a spiritual awakening. But I think that becomes possible as individuals surrender their lives fresh and anew to Christ.

I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody's life.

I wouldn't have really committed myself to any kind of spiritual lifestyle, I don't think, if I had not endured great suffering. I think that's the case with a lot of people.

We all have to go through our own spiritual process. It is very difficult. Some people are struggling and they are in their teens. Some people are in their 50s and they're struggling. Some people go through life and die not being able to accept themselves. Tragic. But it's very individual. And it's about self-esteem.

One way to define spiritual life is getting so tired and fed up with yourself you go on to something better, which is following Jesus.
