71: On Giving Up All One’s Money

Susannah speaks with Clare Stober and Marianne Wright about living without money. Clare didn’t grow up in the Bruderhof – she made the decision to join when she was in her early thirties, after a successful career. She describes her spiritual quest, and the doubts and worries that came with considering joining – and the freedom that she has felt since then. Marianne is fourth-generation Bruderhof, has never had her own bank account, but the decision to join was no less personal and intense. What these two women experience in their day-to-day lives, how they relate to work, to security, to each other, and to God, in this lifetime commitment, is the subject of this podcast.
