How to Raise Our Spiritual IQ

We know the lessons from God on how He wants us to live our lives and how those lessons will genuinely help. But knowing and learning are two very different things. We may read the Bible and study the many life-enriching things within the text, but achieving those things may not be something you are doing. So, how do you do what you know? How can you transfer those lessons of being peace-loving, merciful, and submissive into your daily life? Doing what you know sounds simple enough, so why are we not doing it?

Today, I discuss Casey Stengel, the legendary baseball coach, and the many brilliant quotes he said that can help everyone. I share how the book of James can guide you on how to live your life with God and how the lessons will raise your spiritual wellness. I explore how society almost encourages negativity in certain people and how your attitude affects everyone around you. I also discuss the real meanings of being submissive, forgiving, merciful, and peace-loving and how living what you know with God will enrich your life.

"We spiritually grow up, or we spiritually wither up, depending on our ability to forgive others."
- Dr. Matt Hook
