In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Caleb Maskell talks with Tish Harrison Warren about her new book What Grows In Weary Lands, doing all the “good Christian” things but feeling burnt out in the Christian life, the space between depression and thriving, and what we can learn from the desert fathers and mothers. This is the first part of a conversation, so come back next week for part two!
