Most men divide their lives into the spiritual and the secular. In this episode, we break down the First Letter from Brother Lawrence's The Practice of the Presence of God. We uncover how a man assigned to a chaotic kitchen learned to turn everyday, menial labor into profound acts of worship, and how you can apply this same mindset to your job and your home.
