About this listen

Many today are caught in cycles of outrage and exhaustion while trying to stay sane and engaged. Is there a different way? How can you pursue justice, work towards a renewed world, and sustain your faith without burning out?

In this spiritually rich guidebook, Jonathan Walton offers a transformative rule of life―an ancient spiritual practice reimagined for today's weary believers. His framework roots authentic action in deep, restorative rest, creating enduring rhythms that connect inner renewal with meaningful engagement in a broken world. Drawing from desert spirituality and the wisdom of organizers, Walton provides the spiritual scaffolding needed to sustain both interior formation and outward engagement. These practices and frameworks show you how to live a life so rooted that your pursuit of justice flows from a place of authentic restfulness, not reactivity.

Beauty and Resistance shows how to hold together the tensions of delight and grief, awe and disappointment. It's an invitation to trade reactivity for rhythm, burnout for balance, and anxious spirituality for grounded connection with God, self, and neighbors. Discover the path to a spirituality where beauty and resistance naturally flow from a deeply rested life.
