James K.A. Smith
“We have created youth ministry that confuses extroversion with faithfulness. We have effectively communicated to young people that sincerely following Jesus is synonymous with being 'fired up' for Jesus, with being excited for Jesus, as if discipleship were synonymous with fostering an exuberant, perky, cheerful, hurray-for-Jesus disposition like what we might find in the glee club or at a pep rally.”
James K.A. Smith, You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit

Richard Rohr
“When we fail we are merely joining the great parade of humanity that has walked ahead of us and will follow after us.”
Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

Kate Bowler
“There is a time to speak and a time to shut your piehole.”
Kate Bowler, Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I've Loved

Kate Bowler
“The hardest lessons come from the solutions people, who are already a little disappointed that I am not saving myself. There is always a nutritional supplement, Bible verse or mental process I have not adequately tried. “Keep smiling! Your attitude determines your destiny!” said a stranger named Jane in an email, having heard my news somewhere, and I was immediately worn out by the tyranny of prescriptive joy.”
Kate Bowler, Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I've Loved

Kate Bowler
“In a spiritual world in which healing is a divine right, illness is a symptom of unconfessed sin—a symptom of a lack of forgiveness, unfaithfulness, unexamined attitudes, or careless words. A suffering believer is a puzzle to be solved.”
Kate Bowler, Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I've Loved
