A New Project
Welcome to the Peasant Life Dialogues. This project has been a long time coming, and it wasn’t until recently that Hambone and I had a good prodding to get it started. It is fitting that the Peasant Life should not be offered as a Theological Tome, but as a conversation between friends. And that’s because that’s exactly what the Peasant Life has been for Hambone and I. We have been friends for more than a decade, and Hambone was my sponsor into the Catholic Faith. The Peasant Life has been a labor of love for both of us, defining and refining what it means to live simply and love God grandly. So, here we are—the beginning of what we hope will be our Magnum Opus—or at least, an introduction to all the things that make the Peasant Life tick. I hope you enjoy, and we welcome any and all feedback and comments. As paid subscribers, we encourage your active participation in this project, and you may even help us steer the conversation, because we want to know what parts of the Peasant Life you want to know more about.
Without any further ado, it is my pleasure to introduce the Peasant Life Dialogues.
