Desert Fathers in a Year | Episode 14: Compunction – Abba Isaiah on True Repentance and Healing

Welcome to Episode 14 of Desert Fathers in a Year! In this powerful episode, Jamie Baxter (Exodus 90) and Bishop Erik Varden unpack the often-overlooked virtue of compunction through the profound teachings of Abba Isaiah. Filmed at the tranquil Tautra Mariakloster in Norway, this reflection explores how genuine repentance and recognizing our inner brokenness can open us up to Christ’s transformative healing.

In this episode, you will:

Understand what the Desert Fathers meant by compunction, and why it’s essential for spiritual growth.

Reflect deeply on Abba Isaiah’s words about confronting sin and returning to God.

Discover how authentic sorrow for our sins leads not to despair, but to joyful renewal and healing in Christ.
