Trevor Hudson talks with Nate about his new book, Seeking God: Finding Another Kind of Life with St. Ignatius and Dallas Willard, and unpacks what it means to be a “seeker” in a Christ-following way.Show Notes[1:43] I’m curious to know how you discovered St. Ignatius and how he’s impacted your life.[3:30] What was that experience like for you, personally, to go through the Exercises?[4:59] For those listening who don’t know, could you just give us a brief description of the Exercises?[8:09] You’ve been able to lead people through the Exercises through these years. What have you noticed?[9:51] How did you discover Dallas [Willard], and how has he impacted your life? What did that friendship bring to you and your family?[12:46] How did the idea come to write a book involving these two friends?[15:59] Tell us a little about the book.[16:57] The term seeker, at least in the States, is usually referenced in Christian contexts as a non-Christian that the church is wooing in. You’re working with this word far beyond that. What does it mean to you?[20:00] When Debbie referenced you as a seeker, is there a tension in that? Does she mean it all in a positive sense?[21:58] Was Dallas right in saying you wouldn’t be content?[23:18] What does that look like to embrace the present moment?[25:05] What did you learn from writing this book?[27:00] What are you reading these days?ResourcesSeeking God: Finding Another Kind of Life with St. Ignatius and Dallas Willard, by Trevor HudsonThe Divine Conspiracy, by Dallas WillardThe Master and his Emissary, Ian McGilchrist
