“Glory is revealed most clearly in desperation, dependance, and discomfort.”
Alia Joy, Glorious Weakness: Discovering God in All We Lack

“To believe that the experiences we have are valid, that the feelings and expressions of them are true and real and worthy of being listened to, is one of the greatest mercies we offer each other.”
Alia Joy, Glorious Weakness: Discovering God in All We Lack

“Jesus displaced himself that we might know him. This is incarnational ministry, and it's the life we're called to.”
