Dr. Matt Hoskin of the Davenant Institute joins the show to talk about how Protestants can benefit from the Desert Fathers. The Desert Fathers left civilization in order to seek God with a single mind. They fasted, took vows of celibacy, and fought the occasional demon. Our modern eyes look at the Desert Fathers with cynicism, but that betrays a lack of understanding on our part of the spiritual realities that constantly surround us. Dr. Hoskin encourages us to see the wisdom of the Desert Fathers especially in an age of technological distractions. They may provide the key to waking us up from our own spiritual apathy toward a life dedicated to God.
