#StopBuildingFences
“Let's get real about this. When was the last time you used concern as a mark for condescension? I'm just worried about how they're handling their marriage. Or just hard to work with someone who doesn't have the same drive as I Every time those words you use those words, we are building a fence. We are saying, I'm on the inside. They're on the outside. The question I want you to sit with, not just for a second, but for a long uncomfortable minute, is who are you currently relegating to the table behind you so that your own table looks better? Who are you keeping at a distance to preserve your own sense of status or order? Is it a family member, a coworker, a neighbor? Be honest with yourselves. Because until you identify the people you've cast aside, you can't understand why your own heart feels restless.”

#DontTradeSoulForSchedule
“At the moment, I felt relief of having protected my time. But as I got to my office, the irony hit me. I was so busy preparing the sermon on the love and hospitality of Jesus that I was willing to sacrifice an actual person to get done. I traded my soul for a schedule. I placed him at the table behind me so I could keep my seat at the table of productivity. And the hardest part of it all, in that moment, I realized that my busyness wasn't holy. It was just a socially acceptable way to avoid messy work of actually loving my neighbor. I was building a church on paper while ignoring the very people it was built for.”

#ListenDontFix
“And here is the key. Engage them not as a project. Don't go there to fix them. Don't go there to witness to them in a way that feels like a transaction. Engage them as a person the same dignity that Christ died for. Listen to them. Ask them about their life. Find out what breaks their heart. Because when you do that, you stop acting like a judge and you start acting like a neighbor. And the beauty of the gospel is you might just find that the process of listening, you may be the one that's getting fixed.”

#BusynessIsntHoliness
“I was so busy preparing the sermon on the love and hospitality of Jesus that I was willing to sacrifice an actual person to get done. I traded my soul for a schedule. I placed him at the table behind me so I could keep my seat at the table of productivity. And the hardest part of it all, in that moment, I realized that my busyness wasn't holy. It was just a socially acceptable way to avoid messy work of actually loving my neighbor. I was building a church on paper while ignoring the very people it was built for.”
