Leah Sargeant has a remarkable gift for making her whole extended network into a community. Leah is the author of Building the Benedict Option, Arriving at Amen, and The Dignity of Dependence, and newly the editorial director at the Institute for Progress. She and her husband Alexi are raising their children in Hyattsville, Maryland, a neighborhood which includes a strong, intentional Catholic community held up by guaranteed meal trains and borrowed tools.
This is part one of a two-part interview. In part one, we talk about how Leah’s household was formed and how it runs: conversion, marriage, grief, community, and how to keep your marriage a conspiracy against the world.
