37 | Resisting Excarnation: Three Prompts to Thrive Next Year
About this podcast
Mount Vigil is about discipleship for the end of an age. We work to recover the whole story of Jesus and to read the times we're in through to the story of Jesus. We explore everyday practices that help us experience more of Jesus. That way, we can take on more of his nature and find our role in his story. There is a way to thrive in a significant time.
Mount Vigil has come to an end but you can still connect with Anthony and Blaine at their respective blogs:
