		<description><![CDATA[Just this weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the men’s event called, “The Trail,” at our church.

Nay, [...]]]></description>

Not only do you have to become accustomed to the “deafening” silence, but you also have to become accustomed to the cacophony of your own thoughts. Slowing that process down is no easy thing.

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract conversations Instead of telling our vulnerable stories, we seek safety in abstractions, speaking to each other about our opinions, ideas and beliefs rather than about our lives. Academic culture blesses this practice by insisting that the more abstract our speech, the more likely we are to touch the universal truths that unite us. But [...]]]></description>
