S24 Ep 1 | The Future of Christian Spirituality: Towards a More Unified Faith

Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton - A podcast by Ruth Haley Barton - Wednesdays

In this episode, Ruth sits down with Ron Rolheiser. This topic for this season was born out of an invitation from Ron to Ruth in 2019. Ruth was invited to speak at a conference honoring Ron’s time at the Oblate School. The conference theme was the future of Christian spirituality. This idea has captivated Ruth, and she has been thinking and writing about it ever since. In today’s episode, Ruth and Ron discuss their thoughts on the future broadly. They discuss theology vs. spirituality, how going deeper into our own denominations brings us toward unity, and how God is like a GPS that never tires. The two close with their thoughts on how the future of Christian spirituality is Christocentric and what that looks like in practice.
