“Deep change is rarely a matter of knowledge. It is a matter of repentance.”
― Nancy B. Winters, Heart of the Matter: Daily Reflections for Changing Hearts and Lives

“We stubbornly cling to past interpretations and old stories even when God’s universal story is much better. The reason is not that we lack education and knowledge, but that we overflow with pride.”
― Nancy B. Winters, Heart of the Matter: Daily Reflections for Changing Hearts and Lives

“Deep change is rarely a matter of knowledge. It is a matter of repentance. We have chosen a path apart from God; repentance is the process of turning back. We have chosen a different story, filled with subtle lies about God, questioning his love, care and compassion. Repentance means to renounce our story and believe that there is only one Storyteller. God alone is authorized to interpret our lives.”
― Nancy B. Winters, Heart of the Matter: Daily Reflections for Changing Hearts and Lives

“We have everything we need to live in godly ways. There is no need to be seduced by deceptive and hollow promises of change that lead us away from Christ. These promises will prove to be forms of bondage that enslave us to ourselves and our self-sufficiency. They “protect” us from giving up control and wind up enslaving us to our own agendas.”
