To live in better, more loving, more just, more courageous ways, we have to begin with that conviction that another life is possible. We have to have in our minds that it’s possible to live in a different way or else we’ll never be able to begin living in that way. And to me, this belief that another life is possible has two aspects to it, two important things: a development of our own interior and imaginative lives, and the practice of new possibilities of ways of living. So we have to be able to imagine in our life, in our minds, that another life is possible. We have to be able to picture that. We have to be able to run against the tide of our times by thinking creatively, thinking outside of the boxes and rules that we’re given for what it looks like to live well. And then we have to stretch the muscle of trying to live that in action with our families and our neighbors and our everyday habits. Those two things are what this podcast aims to do. 

Another Life, a new podcast from Plough, launches today.
