This is one of my most important talks because it centers around a commonly misunderstood and ominous topic. Spiritual bankruptcy is potentially terminal for the person with the problem, and it can also destroy the lives of people around them. Everyone, including and especially the person devoid of spirit, tends to be unaware of and in denial of the situation. A treating physician who questions and focuses on the physical health of the individual will misdiagnose, mislabel and mistreat the patient. Healing is thwarted.
