Frederick Buechner wrote, “You do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.”39 When we’re caught in this cycle where the world we want—one where we’re known and loved and safe and able to grow—stays out of reach, we lash out at those people who try to help us see what’s true. We lack the capacity to see beyond our anger and pain, and, as Jesus said, we kill our own prophets.
