Description
Strength to Strength welcomed David Anderson for a discussion of what monasticism contributes to a holistic and healthy life.
In its best form, monasticism was a form of resistance: not just against compromise in the church, but against hurry, distraction, and disordered desire in the soul.
This episode explores the history of monasticism and what it offers today: not escape, but attention; not performance, but formation. Through rhythm, prayer, and ordered love, monks sought to become fully alive to God. In this episode, we will explore how their wisdom still speaks to our distracted and restless age.
An interactive question-and-answer period follows.
