Exploring the themes of simplicity, spiritual elders and soul friends.
Show Notes
Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri explore two themes in this fourth episode in our series on the Desert Sayings. The first is simplicity - the importance of always being a beginner, maintaining humility, practicing restraint and putting things in their proper place. The second theme is on spiritual elders and soul friends - those relationships where we can be known fully, and trust in each other's unconditional love and acceptance. In this modern world, how do we find someone we can trust and reveal ourselves to, so that we can engage in a relationship this way?
In this sixth season of Enacting the Kingdom, we are releasing a series on the Sayings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers that was previously only available to our patrons.
