In today's conversation, Ruth Haley Barton is here to talk about silence and solitude, ordering your true desires, why the sabbath isn't simply a "day off," and why there are no emergencies with God. Ruth Haley Barton is the founder of the Transforming Center, a ministry dedicated to strengthening the souls of pastors, Christian leaders, and the congregations and organizations they serve. A sought-after teacher, retreat leader, and trained spiritual director, Ruth is the author of numerous books and articles on spiritual life.
I hope you've enjoyed the spiritual formation series thus far. If you've missed an episode, go back and listen to episode 326 with Richard Foster and episode 327 with Jamie Winship. We've spent time talking about why we need to slow down, why humility is the preeminent virtue in life, why transformation requires surrender, and so much more. And as I said last week, if you want a visual recap of the series, follow me on Instagram @00ChrisCook. Every week, I post a visual carousel of key thoughts and quotes from each guest.
