The Calling Chase Quotes

“I didn’t have a real answer for that question, so I redirected. “Do you believe you have a soul, Mike?” “Who knows?” I was about to unleash a timeless truth I learned from the writing of C. S. Lewis, and I prayed it would hit the mark. “Here’s what I believe. You don’t have a soul, and neither do I.” He screwed up his face. “What are you talking about? I thought having a soul is what the whole thing is about. I thought people like you believed they knew all about the soul and all that, but now you’re telling me I don’t even have one?” I smiled. “That’s exactly what I’m telling you. You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You are that spirit that loves and adores your baby girl. You are that invisible energy that inherently knows what Smith and the others did is wrong. You don’t have a soul, Mike, because you are a soul. You have a body. And that body will fail and die one day, but you—the real you, that soul inside your temporary body—will live on, either being rewarded for accepting the love of God and believing He sent His son to die and pay the price we could never pay, or you’ll spend all eternity separated from that loving God, your beautiful little girl, and everything that’s good.” He and I sat in utter silence for what felt like an eternity before I said, “You don’t have to believe right now. I get it. I’ve been there. But for the sake of your soul and for Madeline’s, just be open to the possibility and remember how you felt the very first time you ever held her.”
