If you can’t affirm what you believe without belittling someone else, you’ve got a real lousy testimony.

The most difficult place to be at any given moment is here and now.

Sooner or later many Christians are going to need to own their bigotry, fear, and prejudice – and stop blaming Jesus for it.

You have no idea the massive ripples your life makes in both beautiful and terrible ways.

Depression is like having a squatter in your head showing up uninvited, trashing the place, and refusing to leave.

 The greatest thing you can do for someone, the most Jesus-like, most God-honoring thing is to err on the side of loving them.

You are always unconditionally loved by our God, and more blessed than you realize.
