Hidden Brain · Waking Up Your Spiritual Brain: Part 2 · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

So right now there is a conversation that we are trying to help support between universities and K-12 schools.

K-12 schools work very hard to prepare a student to enter the university, to pitch them through college admissions and have them find the right home in a college environment.

And colleges are receiving students thinking, oh my, how strung out, how without a core, we're finding the culture to have not prepared the students.

There's an abundant science that shows that children with a strong

Personal spirituality are less addicted, less depressed, protected against suicide.

Children with a strong spiritual life have greater grit, optimism, greater character, more able to endure difficult times, form relationships of commitment.

There is nothing in the clinical or social sciences as profoundly important to child formation as a strong spiritual core.

So then we might ask the question, can our schools, can our K-12 schools, which have come such a long way in whole child education, now go the next step to support, based on science, the spiritual core of the whole child?

Independent schools, magnet schools, we went everywhere.

It doesn't matter what geographical location, cultural niche, or religion might be present or not present in the school.

No matter where we visited for three years, there is an intentional pedagogical culture
