About this listen

Thanks for reading Brandon’s Substack - Why It Matters! This post is public so feel free to share it.

In this episode of Why It Matters, I dive into The Imitation of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 3, exploring what it really means to have freedom and peace of mind. I reflect on how conquering our undisciplined affections—the desires and passions that pull us in every direction—is essential for spiritual simplicity and inner peace. Drawing from Scripture, Thomas à Kempis, and the wisdom of St. Paul, I talk about the lifelong challenge of mastering ourselves through grace and prudence. Ultimately, I share how true peace comes not from the world, but from the freedom we find when our hearts are fixed on God alone.
