Our friend and Soul of the Shepherd Council of Contributor, David Achata, sits down with Joe Steinke to talk about what it was like to grow up in community during the Jesus Movement of the 1970s. Joe reflects on the rhythms and relationships that shaped his faith and offers meaningful practices to help us stay rooted today. He also shares what it means to live as a mystic—and invites us to discover a “greater grace from a deeper well.”
