Packed into this quote you'll find my long-term pneumatological motivations, my concern to allow weakness whisper its theological words and to not bracket emotions when it comes to theological knowledge, and my political preferencing of prophetic listening over prophetic speech:
"...yet to embrace one's suffering...to endure, to go into the wild territories of discomfort and sit amidst one's fears, one's loneliness, requires a different temporality that also involves being sensitive to murmurs in the world, murmurs in our bodies. Listening to the wind that scatters leaves and finds its way through our protective layers is necessary for sanctification. We never learn to listen alone."
