I am interested in connecting everyday life to a deeper theology, and finding restoration in myself and those around me.
“Truth is supposed to happen; it is not only to be thought or willed, but to be done.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When boarding a flight, you don’t like to see maintenance guys getting on the plane with a roll of duct tape.
“If the stand you take doesn’t generate criticism, there was no need to take the stand in the first place.” — Ben Cohen
Giving someone a listening ear is one of our greatest gifts.
If there’s anything I wish people in the church would get about people who have been hurt from the church, it’s this: almost everyone I know who cannot bring themselves to return to church desperately wishes they could. It’s horrible to know you can’t handle being there.
A megachurch pastor sat with a group of urban pastors who had small congregations with limited resources in rough neighborhoods. The megachurch pastor proudly announced, “We want to adopt you & help you grow.” One urban pastor spoke up and said, “Funny, we had the same idea.”
Nothing better than this will happen all summer
When you quote'n the Bible to prove your point but ain't read the Bible...
There’s something healing about a Sunday nap with your dog.
“The shame in our head is like a locomotive, and to stop that locomotive I need a bigger locomotive, and that is where community comes in.” — Curt Thompson
The most encouraging story in the Bible is Jesus weeping at the loss of Lazarus, knowing that he’ll live again. My savior doesn’t leave me when everything looks dead & gone. He’s present in my lament. He knows the beginning from the end but chooses to be w/ us in our pain.
The Church might be the only community of people that establishes its credibility in the world by routinely and fearlessly confessing and repenting of sin. And we lose our credibility by refusing to name our sins.
Tonight I had an engaging conversation with middle and high school students (on zoom!) about how to keep ourselves from the chains of legalism and find freedom for our spirit. Youth ministry is cool on nights like tonight.
no one else probably cares but church pews are really a theological disaster
When a man is in a field taking care of sheep, we call him a shepherd. So why would a woman in a field taking care of sheep be called a director of sheep ministries?
“Grant me the wisdom to know when to light the way forward or to burn the whole thing down. May the Light be a gift to others either way.” – Scott Erickson
