In this episode of It's My Turn, Don Wildmon relates how a simple visit to the dentist led to profound spiritual insights. 

Don recounts his experience with a painful tooth that had a visible cavity. Expecting a straightforward fix, he was surprised when his dentist discovered a far more serious, hidden cavity in another tooth. This revelation prompted Don to draw a parallel between the obvious sins of the flesh and the more insidious sins of the spirit.

Too often, we focus on visible transgressions—drinking, cursing, and other outward behaviors—while neglecting the hidden sins beneath the surface. These sins of the spirit, such as stinginess, prejudice, and bad attitudes, are far more dangerous and difficult to detect. Just like the hidden cavity in Don’s tooth, they require a closer, more introspective examination to uncover and address.

As you listen to this episode, you'll be inspired to take a deeper look at your own spiritual health. Are there hidden sins lurking beneath the surface of your outward behavior? What steps can you take to examine and address these deeper issues? Don's reflective journey offers valuable insights and practical advice for anyone seeking to improve their spiritual well-being.

Join Don Wildmon as he explores the profound connection between dental health and spiritual health. It's a journey that will leave you with a renewed commitment to self-examination and a healthier soul.
