A biblical understanding of the Christian life is not 'let go and let God,' it's 'trust God and get going.'

Your identity is firmly anchored in Christ's accomplishment, not yours; his strength, not yours; his performance, not yours; his victory, not yours.

When we reduce the notion of “calling” to work inside the church, we fail to equip our people to apply their Christian faith to everything they do, everywhere they are.

Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.

People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.

To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism

God is not interested in what you think you should be or feel. He is not interested in the narrative you construct for yourself, or that others construct for you. Rather, He is interested in you, the you who suffers, the you who inflicts suffering on others, the you who hides, the you who has bad days (and good ones). And He meets you where you are.
