Jared Patrick Boyd is a pastor, spiritual director, and founding director of the Order of the Common Life, a missional monastic order reimagining religious vocations for the twenty-first century. He and his wife have four daughters and live in Columbus, Ohio. On this episode of the podcast, Jared and I discuss his latest book, Finding Freedom in Constraint: Reimagining Spiritual Disciplines as a Communal Way of Life.
As we discuss his book, we talk through the ways spiritual disciplines can be practiced in community. We consider how the beatitudes can be practically applied to help us know ourselves better and walk in deeper relationship with Christ. Jared also offers some practical tips on how you can begin to live more intentionally in community and suggests that the first step in a deeper spiritual growth may be a commitment to silence and solitude. If you are looking for way to grow in your relationship with the Lord or if you have ever wondered how ancient monastic principles could be lived out in modern life, this podcast is a great place to start.
