John Michael Talbot: Monasticism & Life Lessons

Today’s episode features John Michael Talbot, the Founder and General Minister of The Brothers and Sisters of Charity, a semi-monistic Catholic community based out of the Little Portion Hermitage in Arkansas. He is an award winning author and multi-platinum, Grammy and Dove award winning Contemporary Catholic musician. His autobiography “Late Have I Loved You” was published on Ash Wednesday 2024 along with a new album bearing the same name.

We discuss his life as musician, his time in prayer as monk, and the woes of American individualism. We go deep into what monasticism and monastic culture really look like, touching on the human need for community, a few ways to have better community generally, and much more.

You can find John Michael Talbot and his book on his website.
