Practicing the Way

In this bonus episode, we're starting a series called "Spiritual Cartography" featuring cutting room floor content from the Practicing the Way book. Today, John Mark explores why mapping our spiritual journey matters and introduces a framework for understanding the four layers of sin we encounter on the path to spiritual maturity: gross sins, conscious sins, unconscious sins, and attachments. He explains how each layer requires deeper surrender and how suffering becomes the primary means by which we are freed from our deepest attachments.Subscribe to the podcast to stay up to date on future episodes.To learn more about the book, visit www.practicingtheway.org/book. To learn more about Practicing the Way, visit www.practicingtheway.org.
