“And of all things we people of faith could be known as “disciples” for, and of all the things we are known for, is there anything more dignifying of our uniqueness than to be told we have to Love each other, despite our differences?”
― Steve Daugherty, Experiments in Honesty: Meditations on Love, Fear and the Honest to God Naked Truth

“So let us say yes. Every day. Let us have our simplistic, fear-born notions about this God—this infinite Love—dismantled. Let us be dismantled. Let us find our growing in kindness enough religion for a lifetime, and let’s save much kindness for ourselves. Let us start tearing holes in the roof if we find the traditional church too full of people on their own two feet for us to fit through the door. Let us not carry shame and fear one more day. Neither let us contribute to others carrying theirs. Let us know and believe the crazy idea that it’s as we are poured out that we are full. Let us find ourselves awakened and saying to each other, somewhat surprised and confused, “Oh yeah! This is the Son of God. This is Love. This is everything.”
