He was seeking to uncover how he might speak authentically and transparently while also wanting to be sensitive to the reality that I am not Christian. \n\nIn my signature way, I asked that we go right there, into our differences, with the curiosity and respect we’ve been bringing since day one. I mean, to talk about what he’s all up in – related, yes, to grief, fatherhood, and business – without talking about how each intersects with his faith wouldn’t have been much of a conversation at all. It would be like going to see your favorite band only to find half of the musicians have been hidden behind partitions on the stage. "}
