Insights:

• Jason: "I remember a quote from Pope John Paul the second where he said, Love is a constant challenge thrown to us by God. And so simmer on that for a little bit. God is throwing you a challenge of love. The love isn't merely a feeling. There is a feeling sometimes, but Love is an act of the will. The kind that consists of preferring the good of the other to the good of the self."
• Liz: "I was struck by the culture of tenderness as well as the self-mastery. It goes back to what Dave often says, "A healthy we is made up of a healthy we." So I am goiung to be thinking a lot about tenderness and self-mastery through out the day after this interview."
• Dave: " The main theme that runs through all of this is this "outward mindset". It's not about me, it's not about the self self self! It's about an outward mindset and taking into account the other person and seeing the world from their perspective."
