I’m ready to stop calling myself fearful and I’m ready to stop listening to fear. By grace, through faith, I’ve not been given that spirit and I will no longer submit to its authority in my life. Amen?

Walk wild. Rest free.

In alert expectancy, we’re never left feeling short-changed.

What if the mundane is actually abundance and there are a million tiny miracles coming to fruition around us?

The disciples asked Jesus how to pray. The people talking to God asked Him how to talk to God. Don’t let the enemy trick you into thinking you can’t pray. You were made to talk to God. Use real words and go boldly into the throne room of grace.

What if prayer is less about getting closer to God and more about acknowledging how close we already are?

Let’s quit trying to win and instead become the willing. Let’s be the people eagerly expectant to see how God is going to do this. You in?

So incredibly broken for the family + friends of Rachel Held Evans (1981-2019). And for all of us who benefitted from the God-given bravery and beauty she mirrored to the world. Woman of valor, eshet chayil, you will be missed.

If you ain’t inspired you’re dead. x.com/AGT/status/113…

I am zero percent interested in an anti-ecumenical, anti-charismatic, anti-social justice kind of Christianity. There are a whole lot of us who have a high view of the inspiration & authority of Scripture who find in it a different way. Let's continue in love, to hope all things.

I know Beth Moore is preaching at Transformation Church this morning, and I’m preaching at Bright City Church, so I’m sending out a fist bump to all you sisters who get the privilege of telling people about the good news of Jesus today. It is the greatest greatest gift!

Relentless overemphasis on biblical manhood and womanhood - the constant pounding - will inevitably, inadvertently cause us to attend more carefully to carrying our genders than carrying our crosses. Whether you’re male OR female, deny yourself, pick up your cross & follow Jesus.

Jesus told Mary Magdalene, “go and tell”, not “go home”.

Patriarchy and sexism and the enemy of our souls may discount women but God never did and never does... culture may discount women but our God never will. -Jess Connolly, You Are the Girl For the Job

What I have found is that my church never closed. The power and presence of God is dispersed throughout the city. People went boldly into the throne room of grace and acted as ambassadors of mission around the city. The building was empty and may stay so, but church is open.

My team has been telling me to get back on twitter for awhile and I keep saying "no thanks". But leave it to Taylor Schumann + Racheal Kincaide + Morgan Strehlow + the subject of female face shaving to pull me back in.

Love this book + this author. Thank you Taylor Schumann for your work!
