Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.

Spirituality is not about being fixed; it is about God's being present in the mess of our unfixedness. (Messy Spirituality)

Christianity is not about learning how to live within the lines; Christianity is about the joy of coloring.

Until we start thinking in terms of revolution instead of compromise the Church will continue to pat itself on the back with token steps of renewal.

Play is an expression of God's presence in the world; one clear sign of God's absence in society is the absence of playfulness and laughter.

Religious people love to hide behind religion. They love the rules of religion more than they love Jesus. With practice, Condemners let rules become more important than the spiritual life.

Just because we believe the gospel is a life-and-death matter doesn't mean we have to act as if we're dead.
