Writing as a Spiritual Practice with Jonathan Rogers, Tish Harrison Warren and Doug McKelvey

Writing as a Spiritual Practice with Jonathan Rogers, Tish Harrison Warren and Doug McKelvey

On this episode of our special Lenten podcast series we explore the spiritual practice of writing by listening to a conversation between authors, Tish Harrison Warren, Doug McKelvey and Jonathan Rogers.


The Spiritual Practice of Writing

As these three authors explore the craft of writing, what becomes clear is that the creativity and spiritual insight that marks their work is predicated on the discipline of showing up, to sit in the quiet with tools in hand and to attend to the wonder and mystery of their own lives. The very ordinary disciplines surrounding writing have become for these authors a liturgy by which they come into contact with the divine, writing things and expressing truths they didn't know that they knew.
