“God never called you to a life of panting feverishness. We impose that upon ourselves.”  - James Bryan Smith

Today, we conclude our 2-part conversation with James Bryan Smith.

James is the author of The Good and Beautiful God and the Apprentice series. He earned his MDiv at Yale and his DMin at Fuller and is a theology professor at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. He also serves as the director of the Apprentice Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation at Friends University.

A founding member of Richard J. Foster's spiritual renewal ministry, Renovaré, Smith serves as a teaching pastor at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church. He is the editor of A Spiritual Formation Workbook and Devotional Classics (with Richard Foster), and the author of Embracing the Love of God, Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven, and Room of Marvels. His most recent books are The Magnificent Story and The Magnificent Journey.

In this podcast, we hope you will discover:

  • Why he refers to himself as the “Forrest Gump of Christianity”
  • The importance of sleep as a soul training exercise
  • The remaining 2 sides of the Triangle of Transformation
