21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Raised Evangelical Christian. I consider myself a Christ follower, but also disagree with many Christian theologians. I believe in the fruits of the spirit more than the gifts, although I strongly believe in healing as a result of prayer. I believe God is as active today as he was in the time of Christ.
