In this episode, the dogs hear Rob's hot take on 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (4:35).

It's not just on me to create the meaning of my life. This is not all there is.”  (Connor, 23:10) “Jesus seems to rectify and provide a lived reality that you don't have to rebel against everything in order to fully actualize your humanity.” (Mike, 25:10) “She (St. Therese) only wants reality and what her human limits allow. She has no problem being limited by her humanity.” (Rob, 26:50) “It's impossible for Jesus to will useless suffering.” (Connor quoting St. Therese, 28:50) “God is out there, in the desert with you.” (Connor, 31:30) “We're not at the promised land yet, but we are there, in those moments of Kiaros.” (Connor, 32:51) "What gives me life is living within Christ and then responding to the reality with Him that's in front of me.” (Connor, 40:40) “Part of what's been great about life is that it's not what I expected.” (Connor, 41:20) Media Mentions: Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective PeopleFr.
