You Are What You Love | James K.A. Smith
December 2, 2017

The Veritas Forum

Yet we often remain unaware of those habits and how they motivate us. In this talk, from a recent Veritas Forum at the University of Michigan, Smith helps us to recognize the structure of desire and reorient its place within the human person.
