[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?

[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?
