Fr. Gregory and Rebecca discuss Brother Lawrence's joyful freedom rooted in faith and its impact on spiritual life.

Brother Lawrence's holiness was marked not by severity, but by a joyful freedom rooted in faith. Fr. Gregory and Rebecca explore how the practice of God's presence frees us from anxiety, self-importance, and the temptation to overcomplicate the spiritual life.
