Today, I give you some excerpts from my live chat conversation with scholar Robert J. Monson. We speak together some about the desert elders, but also about Robert’s work at the intersection of Blackness, disability, and softness (among other things) and we get into the topics of lust, sexuality, desire which the church has notoriously gotten wrong.

Please find the full replay of our time here (the Spark My Muse youtube channel), if you’d like. Becoming a subscriber costs nothing but is helpful to get the word out.

Maybe you missed WEEK 1 of Lent with the Desert Elders that was live on Substack, YouTube, and Facebook. Phoebe Farag Mikhail was my co-host and her perspective as a Coptic Christian is really informative. The Coptics claim the Desert Elders of Egypt as their direct heritage.

I choose a few short clips to whet your appetite, leaving the best parts for you to discover at the YouTube Channel (youtube.com/@Sparkmymuse).

Subscribe to the channel to be a part of the other weeks, or check back to watch the replays.

Besides getting a copy of my book on the Desert Elders, don’t forget to find Phoebe’s work, especially the Lent-related book she wrote called Hunger for Righteousness

Who is the God we speak of?
