During one of his trips to England he became interested in spirituality and began to explore a variety of paths searching for God and inner peace. Jimi's spiritual odyssey included a couple of brief stops to study Buddhism and Metaphysics. Jimi also studied martial arts which he continues to incorporate into his spiritual disciplines to this day.

Jimi’s spiritual quest would ultimately lead him to return to his Christian roots. He became an ordained minister which would again lead him to travel around the world - this time not as a rock and roll musician, but as a messenger of God’s love for people, and an instrument of healing between them.
