Adapted from a conversation with Larry Hudson. I often think about those dogs we used to run—trailing, treeing, hunting. It reminds me of our conversations, how they wander all over like those hounds searching for a scent. We’re just finding our way, sniffing something up, jumping it out of the bushes, trying to tree it, same as we did on those old rabbit hunts. That’s how honest conversations go among friends, at least ours. Another story comes to mind, Larry, me walking dow

Talking about a quote of E. Stanley Jones from 1935. It is almost uncanny the insight he had into our times.

"The king says, 'You are going to eat at my table.'" Where is that one? Where is that one? Yeah, that one. I can show kindness to him.

This conversation centers on the transformative power of God's kindness and how many believers gradually move from seeing God as angry, punitive, and waiting for them to fail, to discovering Him as a loving Father who never lets go of His children.
