Chats with Jenai always result in wisdom for me, so I am grateful for our conversations! (This one is no exception!) Jenai is an author and of an amazing book called Othered: Finding Belonging with the God Who Pursues the Hurt, Harmed, and Marginalized and is a cohort leader at Made for Pax. (Our first convo for the podcast was incredible!) She is one of the endorsers of this series by IVP and Made for Pax, and I am thrilled to have her voice here. In this episode, we talk about contemplative spirituality, spiritual direction, and exploring spiritual spaces that might have once been foreign to us. She also gives her favorite entry point into the spiritual disciplines. In other words, she encourages us that the spiritual practices from the patristics are not reserved for any one group in particular, they are accessible for all (and these studies help pave the way!). I’m excited for you to listen!
