How in the world are we supposed to engage life when we spend all of our life building walls to protect ourselves from the very thing that we say we want to engage? The answer is, I think, understanding that God doesn’t need walls but we need Him.

This quote addresses the conflict between our desire to connect with life and the barriers we create to shield ourselves from vulnerability. Lounsbrough suggests that while we often say we want to engage fully with life, we paradoxically build defenses that hinder that very engagement. These walls symbolize our fears and insecurities, which can prevent us from experiencing true freedom and growth. The key point is that God, or a higher power, does not require these walls for connection; rather, it is we who need the support and guidance of a higher presence. Embracing this understanding can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life experience.
