“How should we all think about and approach God’s loving and essential gift of his word? We should first approach Scripture with a deep and abiding sense of need. This means that every time we open the book, we pray that God would grant us open eyes and a tender, humble, open, and ready heart. It also means that we don’t read God’s word in a quasi-guilty, sense-of-duty, this-is-what-good-Christians-do sort of way. No, we approach our Bible reading and study with heartfelt joy. What is the DNA of joy? The answer is important: gratitude.”

“If you know the failure paths of the job, identify them. Be honest and open—tell a person where the quicksand is and where the wild animals are. You don’t want to have to reinvent the wheel every day. Let people learn from your mistakes or the mistakes of others. Point out the potential failure paths, what not to do, but don’t tell them what to do. Keep the responsibility for results with them—to do whatever is necessary within the guidelines.”

“Listen carefully and you’ll hear that word enough everywhere, especially when it comes to the anxiety, loneliness, exhaustion, and division that plague our moment to such tragic proportions. You’ll hear about people scrambling to be successful enough, happy enough, thin enough, wealthy enough, influential enough, desired enough, charitable enough, woke enough, good enough. We believe instinctively that, were we to reach some benchmark in our minds, then value, vindication, and love would be ours—that if we got enough, we would be enough.”
