They highlight humility as a vital spiritual principle that helps maintain balance and overcome obstacles. Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle emphasize the importance of doing inner work within a supportive community and serving others. They remind listeners that as you grow spiritually, the path may narrow, but staying the course is crucial.
