Spiritual and Religious: The Best of Both Worlds?

How often have you heard—or even said yourself—“I’m spiritual but not religious”? It’s a phrase that resonates with many who seek connection with the divine but feel disillusioned with organized religion. But what if being spiritual and religious aren’t opposites? What if they are meant to work together, deepening and enriching our faith? Today, we’ll explore this idea through the lens of Micah 6:8, which calls us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. These actions invite us to embrace both personal spirituality and the communal framework of religion, offering a vision of a faith that is alive, connected, and whole.
