Jean Vanier was a shining light in the world of tenderness among broken human beings. Then this year his shadow side came to the light, after his death. My friend Jennifer knew Jean well. I didn’t, but men behaving badly is my bread and butter.

Josh does contemplative prayer alongside the incarcerated in Michigan—and then brings the locked-up wisdom to an audience of pastors across the country in his podcast.
