Jesus promises us that the foundations of every life will be eventually tested (Matt. 7:24–27). Every person will have a natural affinity to one or more of these portals. Theologian N. T. Wright describes these as “echoes of a voice: the longing for justice, the quest for spirituality, the hunger for relationships, and the delight in beauty.”8 These points of longing are valuable on-ramps for spiritual conversation and further progress on one’s spiritual pilgrimage.
