#EyesOpened
“What if the sword Jesus speaks of penetrates us in this way? What if it is seeing and being seen? What if it is the painful moment when we begin to see our eyes are opened to what our comfortable stories have hidden from us? The moment when we realize that someone else's suffering or a measure of our own has existed beneath the surface of our peace all along. The moment when we can no longer pretend not to know.”

#GetUpWalkWithJesus
“``And I love that Jesus doesn't leave Peter sitting there replaying this worst night of his life. He doesn't leave him there stuck in this regret. He says, hey, Peter. Get up. Get up, Peter. We dealt with yesterday, and now let's walk. Now let's walk. How many you know it's hard to follow Jesus when your eyes are fixed on the floor? You try to go in anywhere. I used to play this game as a kid. I'm a get it wrong, but anyways, I used to find a line on the sidewalk, and I tell myself, okay. I'm gonna try to walk straight. I close my eyes, and I just try to walk. And then sure enough, I'd end up just ending I'd be one or two feet off to the side, and I'd be like, man, I suck at this game. And that's reality is I suck at this game at trying to live life while my eyes are on the floor. I think we all do.”

#ProclaimTruth
“Jesus is sending the disciples out to do what he has been doing, to proclaim the good news, to announce the kingdom of god, to tell the truth about god's love and god's justice. And then Jesus says something surprising. He says, it will create conflict. And it's not because they're gonna be looking for a fight. Christians are not supposed to go looking for fights. But here's the thing. Truth, it has a way of exposing things we have become comfortable protecting. Why do we resist the light? Why do communities react badly when someone tells the truth? What if families become angry when those long hidden realities are finally named out loud? I think it's usually because something is being protected. It's usually like a reputation or a family story or something people are afraid that they're gonna lose. But see, the light itself is not the weapon. The light exposes what we have built our lives around.”

#nudgetolisten
“I see two keys here, listening and doing. First, we listen. God's word is like that friendly nudge. your skin is orange, my dear. There's a better way. Hey, wanna maybe comb your hair or cut the gossip or so on? Listening regularly, it also grounds us in who we are and whose we are. We see how God defines us. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, and we are loved by the one who will never abandon us nor forsake us. And we're alerted to room for growth or change. So the first key is to listen, and the second, that's the doing. Doing what it says, according to James, involves guarding your tongue, keeping yourself unsullied from the word world, and caring for the widow and the orphan, which is biblical shorthand for the underdogs without champions.”

#ChaseYourDreams
“there's a point where Francis miraculously wins the tournament, makes a putt, and and and the crowds are surrounding. He's an amateur, so he's not gonna get paid any money. His little caddy named Eddie. Hey, Eddie. Little Eddie, he's he's they're both are picked up on the shoulders. The people being carried off, and there's this moment where after he's being greeted and the crowds and yelling out and then there's this point where he looks down and there's a dollar bill being held up and it's his dad. It's his dad and there's this moment of recognition of of of realization. My son, I'm so proud that he didn't listen to me and that he chased god's what god's best for him. Everyone of us. We had this something that and I think that the way we honor our fathers, the way we honor our mothers, and those who've who've poured their lives into us. The way we, it's by us finding our thing and living that life out.”

#LamentAndWitness
“``And perhaps that's part of what it means to follow Jesus. The part of the story before it resolves, if it resolves, is to spend the time the long tradition of lament, of giving voice to the shadow, the underside, the least, the lost, and the left out and bearing witness. Because then we learn to see as God sees. We notice what lies beneath the surface. We hear the voices that have been or are being drowned out. To bear witness to suffering that many of us, including most Sundays here at church, would rather avoid. And the key to all of that is to be vulnerable enough to let it pierce our hearts. Not every piece is God's peace.”

#GriefBeforeHope
“Now that's alright, we think, because, you know, it it all turns out alright in the end. Right? We we've seen a that there's a well. Right? We we know the next part already. We know that Ishmael survives. We know that God provides. because we know the ending, sometimes we can quickly move past the less convenient or comfortable parts too quickly. Because before there is a well, there is a mother who believes she'll have to watch the death of her own child. And before there is provision, there is abandonment. And before there is hope, there is grief.”
87s
#VulnerableWitness
“Not that every conflict is resolved, not that we suddenly possess all of the answers, not that every story receives our version of its happy ending. And perhaps that's part of what it means to follow Jesus. The part of the story before it resolves, if it resolves, is to spend the time the long tradition of lament, of giving voice to the shadow, the underside, the least, the lost, and the left out and bearing witness. Because then we learn to see as God sees. We notice what lies beneath the surface. We hear the voices that have been or are being drowned out. To bear witness to suffering that many of us, including most Sundays here at church, would rather avoid. And the key to all of that is to be vulnerable enough to let it pierce our hearts.”

#HealingAfterTruth
“The family stops pretending that he doesn't exist. They stop organizing their lives around avoiding those uncomfortable truths. And when the truth finally comes, healing can begin. Just watch Encanto again. I promise. The truth made the family uncomfortable. It exposed the things the family would rather not face. See, Bruno, he didn't create the cracks. He just revealed them. That's often what happens when we follow Jesus. Jesus doesn't create the brokenness. He just shines a light on it. Jesus doesn't create the idols. He just reveals the thing we've trusted more than god. So my dear family of god, do not be afraid as Jesus says. The god who knows every hair on your head already knows the truth about you That god loves you anyway.”
51s
#RedemptionStartsWithRelationship
“Follow me. And as we unpack this this passage, the first thing that I believe Jesus is showing Peter and he's showing us is is that redemption begins with relationship. Redemption begins with relationship. If you're one of the guys who's here at the gathering, you heard Dennis say this. We have a relational father. He's a relational father. Right? And verse 15, I I love reading the Bible for what it is. Right? It says, after breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter. Right? And I love that because Jesus had every right to come to Peter and, like, be confrontational and say, hey, Peter. Where were you? Like, Peter, what's up with all that confidence you said you had when you told them that you wouldn't you would be the one to die for me? Jesus doesn't start there. He he he starts with breakfast.”
