In this episode, the dogs talk about situations when anger is the appropriate response to evil. 

Connor recounts his experience at a recent Joe Pug concert in Berwyn, IL (02:30) and Rob’s nine-year-old nephew shot his first deer (04:45). Rob shared the fruit of his five-day silent retreat (08:30) and the encouragement he received to have anger toward evil (12:24) to the extent that it reflects God’s own steadfast resistance to sin and death (25:50). Connor brings up Lewis’s reflections on God as a skilled surgeon and they all reflect on their experiences of celibacy (37:43).

Quotes:

“Keep the edge. Don’t let go of the edge.” (Linda Couri, 12:24)

“It’s God’s goodness that is almost scary because He’s not going to stop until I’m all the way healed.” (Connor, 28:31 in response to A Grief Observed)

“I get to wake up every morning, 5 am, make some soup!” (Ignacio, 38:21)
