Quotables

• “...the gospel's about the reconciliation of all things, which means all things. It means both material [and] spiritual. It means the very created earth that the world itself needs to be restored from its own brokenness.”
•  There's this Jesus who's influential and has some fame at this point, crowds are gathering around him and this kind of menial, outcast, marginalized woman. And you don't expect Jesus to say daughter. But in that moment, it reinstates her, if you will, or even just welcome sees her truest identity as a child of God, um, it says your faith has healed. You, you know, go in peace, uh, which is just this beautiful, beautiful exchange.
• “The more we are connected with God, the more we start noticing all the ways that God's kingdom is breaking through.”
