“Our current hustle culture is no different; it’s all about exceeding limits. It’s about striving for that false freedom to do this. Eat that. Work this way. Just. Work. Harder. Network more. Just buy my masterclass and you, too, can be a millionaire by age nineteen.”

“The goal of following Jesus isn’t to do a bunch of things. It’s to become a type of person.”

“Not unlike Jesus in Luke: “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Luke 5:16). Jesus voluntarily withdrew to the lonely places. On purpose.”

“spiritually thin and malnourished. Henri Nouwen, one of my favorite spiritual thinkers, said about his experience with silence and solitude: “Solitude is not a private therapeutic place.
