Spiritual Needs
As a secular scholar,Maslow ignores the
spiritual dimension.
Spiritual needs tend to bereal needs vs. feltneeds.
We can gain access tospiritual needs by meetingphysical needs first.
Matthew 11:28Come to Me, all who are
weary and heavy-laden, andI will give you rest.
James 2:15-16If a brother or sister is withoutclothing and in need of dailyfood, and one of you says to
them, Go in peace, bewarmed and be filled, and
yet you do not give themwhat is necessary for their
body, what use is that?

To some, focus on feltneeds is the purpose ofministry itself.
Balance is key.
Felt needs are a
connection point. Felt needs can be
obstacles.
Felt needs provide anopportunity.
