Spirit Calling: Connecting With Ourselves in a Daily Devotional

The book "Spirit Calling: Listening to God Within You" is a daily devotional book centered on a Bible passage for each day. Michael Wuehler wrote it as if the holy spirit is responding to the reader through the passage, in first person. Retired United Methodist minister Michael Wuehler joins Suzanne to talk about spiritual wellness, featured this month as part of the Vitality Revolution podcast series sponsored by Humana. Michael says, "I'm all over the internet. You can buy the book in paper format, but I also have "Spirit Calling" in different formats on YouTube as a video, and also something called "Chicken Soup for the Spirit" [on TikTok] which is a short prayer that I do in English and then translate into Spanish. And then I have a Daily Bible Quiz and an inspirational Daily Bible Verse [on TikTok], and a podcast that you can get at any place you download podcasts, Apple iTunes or whatever. So I realize not all people are going to sit down and read, not all people are gonna watch a video. Some people like to have their devotionals through their headphones while they're walking jogging, or whatever. So I try to reach people in every format that I could conceivably bring up." He adds, "The driving force behind all of this is connecting to people. That's why I went into ministry. I loved preaching, I loved small groups, Bible studies, whatever. I always made sure that I had some way to connect to the community. So I always had groups, and helping people in those — Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts — just some way of helping people grow. And it's not all religious based, but it's helping people find themselves and in finding themselves, they will find that spirit. "Luckily, God hid our spirits in plain sight. They're not hard to find, but God gives us some aha moments that help us out. You know, we step into situations in life when we realize that all of our life experience, our education, our physical abilities, aren't enough to interpret that. That we need of a larger sense of self and divine being within us."
