What they’re saying

“Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith brings a depth of spiritual clarity and lived wisdom that belongs at the center of this conversation. Pillars of Power is not a film about theory. It is a film about what actually works, told by those who have proven it across lifetimes of service.”

— Moe Rock, Grammy-nominated executive producer and co-director of Pillars of Power

“Many people today suffer from what I call an intention deficit disorder. They wake up and move through the day reacting to whatever appears on the to-do list instead of establishing a deeper intention for how they want to live. A powerful spiritual practice is to begin the day with intention. When you do that, life begins to bend toward that vision. When you don't, the world begins to bend you.”

— Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith
