Voices from the Desert
In the early days of Christianity, men and women fled to the desert and became the wisest sages of their era.

And how do we come to know God deep in our heart? Join Joshua Hoffert and Murray Dueck for a deep dive into the mystics, union with God, patristic theology and what it all means in our modern world.
