Conversatio Divina

Living Eternally in the Moment

In a 2011 commencement speech at Westmont College, Dallas Willard delivered a concise, yet powerful message on living an eternal life now. He challenged the graduates to envision two realities: one which is visible, the other invisible. Willard urged them to learn to inhabit both simultaneously, seeing God present in each day, hour, and minute.

As this year draws to a close, we invite you to reflect on Willard’s wisdom. Perhaps his insights can inspire a paradigmatic shift in your perspective, allowing you to view even the mundane moments bathed with God’s presence.

This talk—complete with transcript—is the seventh part in a series of eight talks delivered at Westmont College.
