The Tangible Benefits to Religious Involvement

Host: Are there any tangible, this-world benefits to religious involvement?
Rock Schuler: Well, it’s interesting, when you start taking a look at the many studies that are done about healthy living, way of living, that people who are connected spiritually to their spiritual core; people, who are a part of a healthy religious community, tend to live longer lives. They tend to be happier people; they tend to be healthier people.
There are real benefits to living in a spiritual community and yet, as tangible as some of those benefits are, we never want to loose side that the real benefit to being involved in a healthy religious community is spiritual; learning how to love, learning how to serve, learning how to make the world a better place, learning who we are as the children of God and what God dreams for us.
