“This is not my attempt to find a way to avoid disagreement, tension, conflict, or personal unfulfillment in my vocation and in the church that I'm committing to. This is an attempt to follow the Holy Spirit as he leads me to a place where I can take up all of those crosses without surrendering my integrity.”

“This was also my introduction to the kind of prayer called a "collect" (KA-lict, emphasis on the first syllable). A collect is a short written prayer that gathers up (or collects) similar prayer concerns and articulates them in a broad, general way. Put differently, it crystallizes or condenses a variety of similar ideas into one prayer that... is something that an entire communion can lift up together.”

“One thing I've learned is that when I say, "Hey so-and-so, I'm struggling with loneliness right now and could really use a chat with you because I love you,"... I almost always get a quick and tender response.”
