A listener writes, asking for a mediation on how pursuits like Jiu Jitsu and CrossFit promote a religion-like sense of community and belonging. We can draw a through line from the 97 Theses to the present, helping us understand how and why we arrived at this moment.

Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
