Many of us are living with a quiet weariness—fatigue in our work, uncertainty about meaning, and a longing for renewal that can be hard to name. Join us for A Conversation with Tish Harrison Warren, in dialogue with John Inazu, as they reflect on how resilience and hope can take shape in seasons of exhaustion and doubt.
Drawing on her new book, What Grows in Weary Lands, Warren explores the experience of “dry” seasons—times when familiar sources of purpose and energy no longer seem to sustain us. With attentiveness to ancient wisdom- especially the early church fathers and mothers, she offers a gentle vision of growth that does not depend on constant productivity or optimism, but on patience, faithfulness, and care.
Together, Warren and Inazu will consider how enduring practices, honest reflection, and shared life can help nurture depth and resilience over time. This conversation invites people from many backgrounds into a space of thoughtful listening, reflection, and hope.
