Ronald Rolheiser
“Thus, the invitation remains, despite its hazards: like Jesus, like Mary, and like everyone else who’s ever walked this planet, every adult woman or man will find herself or himself, this side of eternity, inside families, communities, churches, friendships, and work circles that are filled with tensions of every kind. The natural temptation, always, is to simply give back in kind, jealousy for jealousy, gossip for gossip, anger for anger. But the invitation that comes to us from the Gospels, the invitation to move from being a good person to becoming a great person, is the invitation to step forward and help carry and purify this tension, to help take it away by transforming it inside ourselves, by pondering as Mary pondered.”
Ronald Rolheiser, Sacred Fire: A Vision for a Deeper Human and Christian Maturity

Daniel Nayeri
“A god who listens is love. A god who speaks is law. At their worst, the people who want a god who listens are self-centered...And the ones who want a god who speaks are cruel. They just want laws and justice to crush everything...Love is empty without justice. Justice is cruel without love....God should be both. If a god isn't, that is no God.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

Dallas Willard
“And in this truth lies the secret of the easy yoke: the secret involves living as he lived in the entirety of his life—adopting his overall life-style. Following “in his steps” cannot be equated with behaving as he did when he was “on the spot.” To live as Christ lived is to live as he did all his life.”
Dallas Willard, The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives

John Ortberg
“Salvation doesn’t mean simply being rescued from the consequences of our wrong choices. It doesn’t mean being delivered into better circumstances. It means being changed. Salvation isn’t primarily a matter of going to the good place. It’s about becoming good people.”
John Ortberg, Eternity Is Now in Session: A Radical Rediscovery of What Jesus Really Taught about Salvation, Eternity, and Getting to the Good Place

Rob Delaney
“Whenever someone tells me they’re expecting their first baby and they’re nervous, I tell them the following: “Oh my goodness, that’s wonderful. I am so happy for you. Listen, of course you’re nervous but here’s the deal: you’re ready for all the bad stuff. You’ve been very tired before. You’ve been in pain before. You’ve been worried about money before. You’ve felt like an incapable moron before. So you’ll be fine with the difficult parts! You’re already a pro. What you’re NOT ready for is the wonderful parts. NOTHING can prepare you for how amazing this will be. There is no practice for that.”
Rob Delaney, A Heart That Works
