In this episode, we explore how to experience holistic transformation by understanding the five integrated parts of the human person: spirit, mind, body, relationships, and soul. We discuss the importance of intentional spiritual formation, the impact of passive and active influences on our lives, and practical strategies for countering unintentional habits and negative stories. Join us as we dive deep into the transformational practices of teaching, spiritual disciplines, and community support, all centered around the presence and power of a higher power.
