Conversation | Into the Quiet Experience | A Historic Conversation with Richard Foster

During a rare appearance after his retirement from public ministry, Richard Foster, one of the pioneers who reintroduced spiritual formation to the protestant stream of the church, joins John Mark to consider where solitude should always lead us: into familiar, joyful friendship with Jesus. This is a remarkable “baton pass” moment from one generation to the next in the spiritual formation movement. Their conversation is followed by a time of question and response.

This episode is from the Into the Quiet Experience in Denver, Colorado, in Fall 2026.
