What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection 61 | Jay Stringer: Listen to the Voice of Desire, part 2
"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"
Here is Part 2 of our conversation with Jay Stringer.
Last week Jay released his book, Desire: The Longings Inside Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow. Moving beyond the singular experience of sexual struggles found in his first book Unwanted, Desire offers a critically important opportunity to better understand the core longings created in every person. To see desire as good, part of how we reflect the image of God. To be curious about our experiences with desire - how it's been encouraged, discouraged, or even prohibited.
Jay's book explores desire through the five core longings that show up in all of our lives: The desires for wholeness, growth, intimacy, pleasure, and meaning. Through better understanding our relationship to desire, we can live more fully the lives we were created to live.
Jay lives in New York City with his wife Heather and their children.
