The goal of autonomy keeps us from paying attention to what really matters, to what's really happening. The ideal of freedom keeps us from paying attention to a world beyond ours heads.

Dr. Geoff Holsclaw talks with Jared Boyd (author, pastor, spiritual director, and founder of The Order of the Common Life) about the apprenticeship of paying attention, and what it means for our spiritual formation.
