We all want to make a difference, to live in peace, to have joy each morning that we get to live this day and see what it brings.

Times change. God doesn’t, but times do. We learn and grow, and the world around us shifts, and the Christian faith is alive only when it is listening, morphing, innovating, letting go of whatever has gotten in the way of Jesus and embracing whatever will help us be more and more the people God wants us to be.

Many in the modern world fell for the myth that we're living in a static, fixed, flat reality of just material things.

If your faith is threatened by something that's true, then it wasn't much of a faith to begin with, was it?

No one has the last word other than God.

What we do comes out of who we believe we are.

The modern world has created airports and hospitals and put 10,000 songs in our pocket. It has built gleaming buildings and computers and advances and innovations that blow our minds. But we have soul, and spirit, and consciousness, and the modern world hasn't done so well at helping us name and understand what it means to be thriving and fully alive with a full heart.
