Reverence feels like a relic from another time, yet its absence leaves us spiritually and relationally impoverished. Greg Schlueter, author and family movement leader, joins Jack to explore why reverence matters in an age that devalues in human life itself.
The conversation takes us deep into the transformative power of reverence – not as empty ritual, but as the gateway to authentic relationship. "Our bodies, in fact our bodies alone, make visible the invisible, the spiritual and the divine," drawing from Saint John Paul II's profound theology of the body.
When we genuflect, bow our heads, or dress respectfully for sacred spaces, we're not merely performing – we're allowing our physical selves to express spiritual realities.
This crisis of reverence extends far beyond church walls. Our casual approach to commitments – showing up late, dismissing obligations, treating our word as provisional – reflects a deeper spiritual problem. "The enemy strikes at the heart of this by saying commitment is not sacred, it's dismissible," Greg explains. When everyday promises become optional, authentic community crumbles.
