Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.

God's heart…is not that we escape our lot, but that we learn to thrive in the midst of it.

We grow when the walls press in. We grow when life steals our control. We grow in the darkness.

Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.

When the world careens out of control, we can rest in the fact that God spun this world with a simple word. Matter from emptiness. Beauty from void. Community from chaos.

Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.

The roadblocks to growth and joy come when we forget the bigness of God & instead make people bigger than He is.
