For the Beauty of the Earth: A Christian Vision for Creation Care (Engaging Culture)

Josh is the host and creator of the Invitation Podcast. He is a certified spiritual director, a retreat leader, and facilitator of contemplative prayer practices in prisons. In part one of this interview, we talk about rediscovering the art of brewing beer, being human, and wakefulness.

We also delve into the following:

  • Living well in a day.
  • The balance of prayer and art.
  • A theological anthropology of a farm shaping his imagination.
  • The patient process of being an artist.
  • Being both a spiritual and earthly creative being.
  • Ignatius of Loyola and the prayer of examen.
  • Deep art: what Rowans Williams calls “meaning plus” and Scott Cairns notes as “the generative meaning of art.”
  • Developing a rule of life.
