Top Highlights

“Third, our renegade desires are not so ‘deep’ as to call for intense introspection. The desires that mislead us do cause us to coil in on ourselves, but that doesn’t mean that the content of our mastering desires hides deep within some inner labyrinth. They are not as inward as we might imagine. In fact, they are not really ‘intra-psychological’ phenomena at all. Our motives are all active verbs that describe how we connect to the world around us: What are you seeking? What are you loving? What are you fearing? What are you trusting? Where are you taking refuge? What voices are you listening to? Where are you setting your hopes? The answers to these questions describe characteristics of the whole person, who always orients toward either God or something else.” (Volume 27, Number 3, Page 41)

“Question 2. Do I have confidence this person will stay on the path?” (Volume 27, Number 3, Page 71)

“Second, our renegade desires are not solo operatives.” (Volume 27, Number 3, Page 40)

“Question 1: Does this person have a good grasp of the path that must be walked?” (Volume 27, Number 3, Page 70)

“First, our renegade desires are not so complicated as to necessitate a ‘hunt.’” (Volume 27, Number 3, Page 39)
