Testing the Human Spirit is written by Jane-Marie Franklyn and published in Marie Claire February 2001. This article describes how Aliy Zirkle, a 30 year old woman from Pennsylvania became champion of one of the world’s toughest races. The yukon Quest covers 1000 miles and it starts i Canada’s Yukon territory and heads north-west to Alaska’s remote interior. The race is so far north that seventeen hours of the day is spent in darkness.

In this new reformation of religious beliefs, many felt that they ultimately had control over their own spiritual awakening. This was a new concept! Stephen Marini, Historian of Religion from Wellesley College said: “The spirit is the absolute empowerment of my individuality, so my individual choice is not just an option; it is a divinely mandated course of action.”

Spirituality and religion hold different values and truths depending on your personal beliefs. Being religious is a belief or practice that contains certain values one should follow. When looking deeper into religion you can find spirituality which is the part of religion that effects our spirit and soul, it is not tangible. “The Sacred within” is spirituality and pertains to God dwelling inside of our heart and soul. When looking at “the sacred within” there are certain senses that we can tap into so, we may obtain that sort of spirituality. Through solitude, silence, imagination, and nature, we can have a better sense of spirituality.

According to the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care, the National Quality Forum, and Sulmasy, to deliver a quality health care is to address the spiritual concerns of patients and families (as cited in Reblin et al., 2014, p. 269). However, there is little evidence to support the significance of integrating spirituality within health care, Reblin et al. examine strategies to support spirituality in health care and guide clinicians in how to communicate with patients and families (Reblin et al., 2014, p. 269). To examine, they send a hospice nurse to a home of a cancer patient, Juan, immediately after his death (Reblin et al., 2014, p. 271).

Ceasing to do business with Mr. Petersen would adversely impact his view of Christianity, God, and the farther exploration of his faith. Due to the unfavorable conditions on which our business relationship would be terminated, he may view Christians with bitterness and regard them as unjust, deceptive, and treacherous. His resentment toward my company may repel him from Christianity as a whole. He will certainly stop attending my Sunday school class, he may even leave the church or lose his faith in the process. Since Saint Paul urges Christians to “be careful…that this right of yours does not…become a stumbling block [to others]” (1 Cor. 8:9, English Standard Version); I should consider some biblical dispute resolution methods, which could lead to restoration and continued relations

“Spirituality is derived from the Latin word spiritus, spirit, the essential part of the person which controls the mind and the mind controls the body. Thus the spirit is the vital life force which motivate people and influence ones life, health behavior and relationships” (Baldacchino & Draper, 2001). She also stated that spirituality is the mainstream of life which unifies all aspects of the human being. Spirituality applies to both believers and non believers, including the presence of diverse cultural beliefs (Baldacchino & Draper, 2001). Culliford stated that : “In times of emotional stress, physical illness, loss, bereavement and death human beings tend to find comfort, peace, inspiration, reverence and meaning by focusing on their spirituality whether they believe in God or not” (Culliford, 2002). In a study conducted by Tuck and Thingajana the meaning of spirituality was voiced by person living with HIV disease and healthy adults. The definitions voiced by the HIV patients were that “Spirituality is relating and believing in God, who is always present. It is perceived as being guided or helped or being inspired or giving unto. Spirituality includes the process of journeying, discovering and centering and is outwardly expressed” (Tuck & Thinganjana, 2007). The definitions of Spirituality expressed by the healthy individuals were that:

The central purpose of Beyond Religion is to place emphasis on the inner qualities and values of an individual rather than devoting too much effort on external or material aspects of life. Mankind has endured many challenges since the beginning of time and yet we continue to face many problems. Despite our advances in medical science, technology, education, healthcare, human rights, laws, etc., we still suffer, struggle, and encounter many crisis around the world. Many parts of the world still experience poverty, crime, injustice, inequality, corruption, social, and environmental problems.

Your spirituality largely affects your character. It reflects your ideals and the type of person you are. Spirit is your guide and revolves around your ethics and moral code. My spirituality begins with my faith in God and my belief that we should all treat each other as equal. I revolve all my worries, stress, and doubt in the world on the back of my creator. For, he has always risen in my time of need and shown me the pathway to success or happiness. Although he isn’t perfect, I have doubted him before as Diana has in the novel.

Christian Counseling in my eyes, is Christian based helping and caring for another person’s soul (Soul Care). Christian helpers are empowered by the Lord to be the eyes, ears, hands, and mouth of Jesus to those in need. Journeying into another person’s life and helping them with difficulties cannot be taken lightly. Within John 13:14-15, Jesus says, “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.” (NIV). Jesus also speaks in John 15:12-13, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (NIV). These verses are telling people to

We often consider ways in which we are spiritual people and some people believe that we must be different or better, to say, “I am spiritual”. Our personal spiritual journey doesn’t look like anyone else’s, nor is it supposed to. Each person’s spirituality is different because each one of us is different. According to Gary Liguori author of Questions and answers: A guide to fitness and wellness, “Spirituality has three general components: feeling a connectedness to ourselves and to others, developing a system of personal beliefs and values, and finding meaning and purpose in life”, (p. 355). In this paper, I will discuss five of my most significant life values that help fuel my spiritual wellness and identify those I view as less valuable
