In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE, Jason, Mike and Wade discuss the monastic impulse and how vocations sends into neighbor relationships rather than pulling us out of them.

This is an excerpt from Vocation: The Setting for Human Flourishing written by Michael Berg (1517 Publishing, 2021). Available for purchase this Tuesday!
