About this episode

John Mark Comer and Dr. Sittser explore how ordinary lives can be seen as holy ground and how everyone can cultivate a spiritual life with God.

Could your normal, everyday life be holy ground? In this conversation, John Mark and Dr. Sittser discuss how it came to be believed that even the most ordinary of people like you and me — not just saints, mystics or monastics — could create a deeply spiritual life with God in their everyday lives.
