Whatever we may mean by 'Christian growth,' it is ultimately this: less faith in me, more faith in God.

The pain cleared my vision, and once it was taken away, I realized just how much I'd been relying on the endorsement of others to make me feel like I mattered.

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.

I didn't realize that I was in a self-made prison of human approval and human acceptance. Didn't even realize it. Most of the prisons we live in we are not conscious of.

Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, "I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way."

The gospel announces that God doesn't relate to us based on our feats for Jesus, but Jesus' feats for us.

I think there is tribalism is a big deal inside of the church, that the church thinks of themselves as a tribe and not a mission.
