\\nI was talking to someone this week about her experience at the Garth Brooks concert(s) that just took place in Edmonton last weekend. As she described it, she just shook her head in disbelief. \\u201cIt was mind-blowing. Tens of 1000\\u2019s of people in a stadium all singing and moving together to songs that have resonated so deeply for many of us for years\\u201d. She said, \\u201cIt\\u2019s hard to describe what happens in moments like that\\u201d. What moments come to your mind when you reflect on past concerts or musical experiences that moved you deeply? For thousands of years, music has played a large role in people\\u2019s spiritual journeys. What exactly it\\u2019s done or is doing has been largely a mystery. But recent research is suggesting that these experiences are vital to human flourishing. We\\u2019re going to talk about this on Sunday while experiencing some beautiful music together. If you\\u2019re not out camping or vacationing, carve out some time to join us in the spiritual gym. We\\u2019ll see you then.
