A.W. Tozer emphasizes that true religious thinkers are deeply engaged with the struggles of life rather than detached intellectuals. They are often burdened individuals who seek practical solutions in a troubled world, rather than mere theorists. To think well, one must possess honesty and sincerity, as insincerity disqualifies a person from grasping divine thoughts. The sanctified thinker is portrayed as a traveler in a wilderness, focused on finding a way to safety rather than on the impact of their path on others. Tozer asserts that great thoughts require a serious and grave attitude towards life, God, and humanity.
