Luminary Interview: Tish Harrison Warren
Rule of Life
Struggling to Meet God in Ordinary Life, the monkhood of all believers
The essence of meeting God in the ordinary aspects of life, amidst struggles and disappointments, is a profound challenge. The concept of the 'Monkhood of all Believers' emphasizes that all individuals, regardless of their vocation, have a 'rule of life' akin to monks. This rule is formed from the nature of their vocation and lifestyle. It's not a matter of not being a monk, but rather potentially being a 'bad monk' by not recognizing and owning the rule of life. The idea is to encounter Jesus in the maintenance of everyday life, realizing that God exists within both moments of ecstasy and depths of despair. The majority of life is not in these extremes, so waiting for such experiences to meet God is futile. Hence, it's crucial to meet God where we are, as Jesus immersed himself in the ordinariness and challenges of life. Furthermore, the struggle to find God in the ordinaryness of life is seen as an integral part of discipleship, contributing to the development of one's self and their journey toward God.
