When the world gets chaotic and uncertain, we need spiritual practice more than ever—not just to sustain our souls and restore our inner peace, but to recharge and prepare ourselves to take on challenges with effective action. A few years ago, Philip Goldberg, the author of “Spiritual Practice in Crazy Times” and host of the Spirit Matters podcast. interviewed twelve spiritual leaders to help us get through the pandemic. We’re now re-releasing the interviews as an encore series, because the messages are as relevant today as when they first aired. Michael Bernard Beckwith is the founder and spiritual director of the Agape International Spiritual Center, a trans-denominational community in Los Angeles. Founded by Rev. Beckwith in 1986 to bring a practical approach to spirituality through meditation, affirmative prayer, and Life Visioning, (his proprietary method for inner transformation and peace), Agape became a hugely popular LA spiritual destination and has since transcended its humble origins to become a global community that welcomes thousands of local members and global live streamers every Sunday. Rev. Michael is the host of the podcast Take Back Your Mind and the bestselling author of books that bridge science and spirituality. They include Life Visioning, The Answer is You, and Spiritual Liberation. He is also co-founder of the Association for Global New Thought and co-chair of the Season for Nonviolence.
