In a society dominated by raging narcissism, the virtue of humility is vanishing, but Foster, the founder of Renovaré, insists that humility is central to spiritual formation.

Engaging with diverse sources including Native American culture, Julian of Norwich, and Scripture, Foster shares profound insight into what humility can look like in our contemporary culture.

He shows how humility is not a confusing burden of trying to be something we’ll never be but a way of being that focuses on God’s goodness and results in being naturally kind, free of striving, and more light-hearted. Don’t miss it!
