"Exile and the 'Dopamine' Shot of Self-Righteousness" - Episode 2 in the series, “Exile”

Why is exile necessary? What is God hoping we will gain in the desert? In this conversation, Jonah and Patrick reveal how our egotism generates the exile experience. But there are great gifts to be found in exile: Human beings could never become beings of love without this freedom—freedom which is a gift of the exile reality. Through free acts of sacrificial love we can also find our way back to our true home.
