The spiritual formation movement is starting to catch the attention of the secular world—but risks becoming a shallow trend rather than a path towards Jesus. Is it just another self-help trend? Rich Villodas joins to talk about the pros and cons of this spiritual movement.

Thank you! This concept of following Jesus for the secondary benefits has been something I have been wrestling with as a pastor. It was a wonderful bonus that you applied this to sabbath which I am preaching on this week.

First, let me state that I am in the process of catching up on all the Holy Post's latest content and this is the most recent episode that I have listened to chronologically so my apologies if this has been addressed on something that I haven't listened to yet. In this episode, Skye cites Arthur Brooks and Christine Emba as examples of writers who are pointing out the second order benefits of a spiritual life but doesn't seem to be aware that both of them are self-professed Catholics. When Christine Emba was on the flagship show to discuss her work, the Holy Post team seemed to be ignorant that she is a fellow Christian. Likewise, Arthur Brooks has discussed his faith in multiple venues but was grouped in with "secular" intellectuals. I'm fairly confident that neither of these thinkers are only interested in Christianity for the second order benefits but instead are trying to speak to the culture at large at the most likely point of general, common engagement. I don't know if anyone will even read this comment on a near month old episode but if someone does, I hope that by pointing it out that the Holy Post team will realize that these two might have more to offer to the Holy Post community if/when you have future interactions with them and their work.
