We all have people in our lives who have helped us to see our relationship with God in such a way that we are radically changed. The man David is about to interview -Richard Rohr -is one such person for us. We were first introduced to his writings a number of years ago and more than any other spiritual teacher Richard’s insights guided us through the darkest nights of our souls.
Richard Rohr seeks to help people understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them that those who have fallen, failed, or “gone down” are the only ones who understand “up.”
What looks like falling down can largely be experienced as “falling upward.” In fact, it is not a loss but somehow actually a gain, as we have all seen with elders who have come to their fullness.
We explore the counterintuitive message that we grow spiritually much more by doing wrong than by doing right–a fresh way of thinking about spirituality that grows throughout life.
We never expected to have the privilege of meeting him in person but recently circumstances aligned in -to us -a miraculous way and we were able to meet and interview him for the Live True Podcast
