When Desires Don't Take No for an Answer

I hate it. I love it.

Sometimes our desires can be cruel lovers. We think we should be rid of a particular desire, but we feel stuck. "What's the use in trying to rid my life of this desire?" we ask ourselves. "I've tried, but there's just no way out for me."

Or is there?

The problem may be more complicated than just being stuck. Might there be a path to true change? Edward Welch may surprise you with his answer. Along the way he will introduce you to someone with words of comfort and hope you may never have heard before.
