HERE is the first interview I did on the book with the incomparable, Gene Maynard: 
- Topics I speak on regularly:
– Spiritual formation, Early Desert Christianity, the spiritual mothers and fathers, devotional practices, and ways of knowing God and spiritual maturity.
– The 9 Demons of the Desert Elders (afflicting thoughts / logismoi )
– Learning the “weather and climate” of the inner world and how to grow the Fruit of the Spirit
– Our 3 Core Wounds and finding personal, spiritual, and embodied healing
– Centering non white spiritualities to reveal blind spots, find insights, and renew spiritual growth
– Spiritual practices and prayers that comfort in a time of tumult, suffering, pain, and confusion
Thanks for your interest. ❤️
