Monastic vows. Poverty, chastity, obedience. Not to mention a funny haircut. We’re talking about medieval monasticism and the Reformation’s critique of it. Also a discussion over a listener call regarding what to do when you don’t feel the joy of your salvation. And of course, a little bacon, in celebration of Bacon Mondays in Lent.
