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

James K.A. Smith
“We all - whether naturalists, atheists, Buddhists, or Christians - see the world through the grid of an interpretive framework - and ultimately this interpretive framework is religious in nature, even if not allied with a particular institutional religion.”
James K.A. Smith, Who's Afraid of Postmodernism?: Taking Derrida, Lyotard, and Foucault to Church

Zack Eswine
“These kinds of circumstances and bodily chemistry can steal the gifts of divine love too, as if all of God's love letters and picture albums are burning up in a fire just outside the door, a fire which we are helpless to stop. We sit there, helpless in the dark of divine absence, tied to this chair, present only to ash and wheeze, while all we hold dear seems lost forever. We even wonder if we're brought this all on ourselves. It's our fault. God is against us. We've forfeited God's help.”
Zack Eswine, Spurgeon's Sorrows: Realistic Hope for those who Suffer from Depression

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
