In the interview, Peterson reflected on the idea of a calling.

Youre called upon to climb Jacobs Ladder, and it spirals infinitely upward well, to where? Peterson asked. Infinitely upward isnt a place Its a direction. Heaven is a place thats perfect, thats getting better at the same time.

Anything that attracts your attention is a portal to the divine, he added. Youll pursue that thing that attracts your attention, thats your calling, and then itll transmute, and youll find yourself oriented in another direction. The spirit that remains constant through all the transformations of your calling thats the divine.

Thats what the divine is; its ineffable because it cant be fully revealed. Its unlikely to be fully revealed in the course of your existence, but it calls you forward continually, he continued. Thats what the burning bush is in the story of Moses. It shows itself in different places for different people.

When asked what it was like to see his wife join the Catholic Church, Peterson said its a miraculous thing to see.

I loved my wife from the moment I laid eyes on her when I was a kid, he said. If you love someone, it hurts you when you see them deviate from the thing that draws you to them. And since shes pursued her efforts at enlightening herself more thoroughly and this investigation of Catholicism has been key to that shes much more who she is.

Though his wife became Catholic, Peterson said he remains unlikely to join the Church. When Flynn asked what was holding Peterson back from becoming Catholic himself, he responded: I dont think anythings holding me back. Everybodys got their own destiny.
