Season 5: Episode 1 | A Wider Life

In this season, we will be using Evelyn Underhill's book "The Spiritual Life" as a guide for provoking us to think bigger about Christian spirituality. As always, we will try to bring a very practical approach while dealing with such big ideas. In this episode, we ask the question, "What is the spiritual life?" In other words, how did Jesus (and the many great spiritual teachers within our tradition) see the project of connecting with God, and how do they encourage us to see it and approach it?  For a reference to the practice I describe at the end of the podcast, see Francis de Sales' "Introduction to the Devout Life", Part 2, ch. 2, 10, and 11. Here's a link to a free pdf of his book.
