    Episode 107 - Spiritual Fitness w/ Dudley Daniel
    Episode 107 – Spiritual Fitness w/ Dudley Daniel

    People tend to search for their deeper meaning, and some do it by seeking answers to questions they arrive at over years of thought. In many cases, people develop a spirituality about themselves that enables their ability to become better. This episode is not like ones we have done in the past. Instead, it takes a small glance at spiritual fitness, or the beliefs and practices that strengthen their connectedness with a source of hope, meaning, and purpose. Fundamentally, spiritual fitness is critical to developing overall wellness and should be personal. Brian takes on this challenge by looking at the life of his father-in-law, Dudley Daniel. He opens up the book of Dudley’s life and explores what it was that allowed him to constantly seek spiritual fitness. Maybe there is something in the message that will help you. Let us know.
