It is better to be fully present and rested and engaged for one thing than rushed, distracted, and scattered for ten.

Being a pastor for 20 years I realized that the labels, agnostic, atheist, believer, everybody's human and everybody wants to know what kind of universe we're living in, and everybody's living according to a story.

The cross is God taking on flesh and blood and saying, Me too.

Any time someone makes you feel guilty about how you are living, that is part of the old system (pre-Christ).

Something is profoundly wrong and we are desperate for justice, for restoration and for somebody somewhere to do something about this.

Whether we are reading the Bible for the first time or standing in a field in Israel next to a historian and an archaeologist and a scholar, the Bible meets us where we are. That is what truth does

The world is desperately in need of people who will break themselves open and pour themselves out for the reconciliation of all things- that's what the world needs.
