About this episode
Jonathan Prescott discusses the essence of living a contemplative life focused on the present moment and finding joy beyond conventional pursuits.
Jonathan Prescott shows what it takes to live a contemplative life - a life more concerned with finding the Divine in the present moment than with satisfying our self-centered desires. He describes how the contemplative life brings joy, and contrasts it with the hollow pursuits of a conventional life. This talk was offered to the Guemes Island Community Church and includes a short guided meditation.
