White Belt Lessons for the Ego

Read my latest article for Word on Fire!

Word on Fire recently published my reflection on what Jiu Jitsu has taught me about life and the spiritual life. I found that just like a white belt starting out in jiu-jitsu, we are living in a world that is in desperate need of an antidote to ego.


I would be honored if you gave it a read!
