“I felt broken. I felt destroyed. I felt like a demolished city, burnt to the ground. And it was horrifying. And it was good. Because the abject admission of weakness and vulnerability I encountered in this experience was the great clearing of the brush, the great pouring out of old and perishing things. I was shattered, and I was made new.” Br. Lucas Hall reflects on his own experience of conversion to cast light on the new life that can come with the destruction of false idols.
