The Religious Take On Longevity: Clayton Crawley

Should we feel guilty about enjoying life when there is suffering
in the world? How does prayer work? How can we be useful to
others? Should we enjoy abundance? What is the importance of
relationships for our health? How much self-care is
appropriate?

Clayton Crawley, Episcopal priest and EVP, Chief Church Relations
Officer at The Church Pension Group joins us to discuss his
religious beliefs, how to enjoy life while understanding
suffering, how to be useful, longevity, and more. 


“Part of being a joyful person is to understand that being
selfish is actually a path to misery. You can enjoy the best
things in life but it’s when you take that enjoyment and hold it
tightly, you are committing what in Christianity we would call a
sin. You’re being selfish.” 


“If you give your life away, you will actually save it.” 


“You can be selfish and have all the money and all the health
that you need but you will die because that’s not what it’s
about. It is about giving to others, being generous, being
joyful. The people that are the most joyful, in my experience,
are those who have the most connections.” 


“What keeps your brain healthy and what makes you happy long-term
is having relationships with other people.” 


“I believe that we are called to live well as long as we live.”


“It’s really a gift to be in relationship with other
people.”
