“we long for our churches to be safe places to doubt, to ask questions, and to tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.”

“I’ve often said that those who say having a childlike faith means not asking questions haven’t met too many children.”

“Introverts often prefer writing to speaking, because writing uses a different neurological pathway in the brain than speaking does.”

“But the gospel doesn’t need a coalition devoted to keeping the wrong people out. It needs a family of sinners, saved by grace, committed to tearing down the walls, throwing open the doors, and shouting, “Welcome! There’s bread and wine. Come eat with us and talk.” This isn’t a kingdom for the worthy; it’s a kingdom for the hungry.”
