The Gospel of the Ordinary: Reclaiming Holiness in the Mundane
Does holiness belong only to the cathedral, or does it have a place in the commute? Many Christians suffer from a "spiritual Gnosticism" that separates their Sunday worship from their Monday morning reality. In "The Gospel of the Ordinary," we explore the biblical concept of ἅγιος [hagios]—being set apart—not as an escape from the world, but as a transformative presence within it. From the "Mortification of Sin" in the breakroom to finding "Doxology in the Dirt" of daily chores, discover why your ordinary hours are the primary liturgy of your priesthood.
