Rev. Michael Beckwith | Living Awake: Meditation, Prayer and Purpose

In a time when distraction, division, and despair seem to dominate the collective atmosphere, what does it mean to live awake—and stay awake? This week, I had the distinct honor of sitting down with Reverend Michael B. Beckwith, founder and CEO of the Agape International Spiritual Center and one of the most respected voices in global spiritual leadership.Reverend Beckwith and I explored the science of spiritual transformation—how meditation, affirmative prayer, and light visioning aren’t just tools for personal growth, but essential practices for cultivating a just, compassionate, and awakened world. From addressing the United Nations General Assembly to honoring Nelson Mandela with the Gandhi King Award, Michael’s life is a living testament to the power of inner alignment manifesting outer impact. If you're craving a deeper sense of freedom, grounded purpose, and a spiritual path that translates into social action, this conversation is your invitation.
