Another great episode on one of my favorite podcasts featuring @michelleknight.bsky.social

Satan: tempter, accuser, deceiver. Our flesh: disordered desires, worries, wealth obsession. The world: opposing paradigms, cultural influence, moral relativism. Keener notes we face Satan communally, not alone. And we must stay vigilant against our own nature and worldly pressures.

“In the monastic tradition the vow of stability is central to a rule of life. The person promises to remain in that particular monastic community for life and to be shaped by the rhythms of that particular community.” - Ruth Haley Barton (Pg. 135)

“If we take the Christian faith seriously, we will probably end up traveling somewhere or loving someone or trying something we would never have imagined at an earlier stage in our lives. It is simply what a life of discipleship requires.” - Jerry Sittser (p.257)
