As women who didn’t receive what we needed from our fathers, we must make the time to grieve this loss in our lives. Doing so requires that we tell the little girl inside of us to pack her bags and leave for good. She can’t coexist in a healthy and whole woman of God.

The authors show how getting mired in busyness and new programs can keep us from focusing on God. They also explain that while innovation can be great, waiting on the Lord is the solution a church in crisis needs.

A large part of sharing the gospel in a post-Christian culture is being sensitive to the potential confusion of our listeners.

Quiet spaces in our lives are sacred. We need to treat them as such. It’s like letting your mind enter a wide-open meadow to explore instead of keeping it wedged into the confines of your phone.

The message of assimilation makes me uncomfortable because it requires me to celebrate the loss of other people’s culture, traditions, and languages in order to alleviate the fears that white people, including Christians, might have about a diverse society where their position as power brokers of society may be threatened.

If you see someone on your team drifting toward division, you must have the courage to call it out.
