it was amazing

“One of the great fallacies of some church teaching has been to deny or suppress the beauty of our thirst rather than celebrate it as part of our essential spiritual life. In the vacuum of having no positive theology for desire, we make it our enemy, trying to pretend it away.”.

This was an amazing read. The poetic way that Strahan communities deep theological truths felt very refreshing. A lot of his ideas were somewhat new to me, and it's definitely shaped my prayer life the past couple weeks as I've been reading and applying. From what I can tell he's a relatively new author, but not new to the contemplative spirituality that many are starting to promote. I'm excited to see how his writing develops over time.
