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?

[25:05] What did you learn from writing this book?
