#RestNotHiding
“And the thing is even though he felt abandoned, he still showed up to work in the pit. Yeah. My god. Hear me. Write this down. Hiding isn't rest. Hiding isn't rest. Rest is God's idea. God commanded it. God literally took rest himself. If you are tired this morning, God is not mad at you for taking rest, but there is a difference between resting and hiding, and you already know which one you're doing. Well, I'm just in a season of being restored. You were restored six months ago. Get up.”

“Okay.”

“Nevertheless, it is God's name. The shocking revelation tucked so subtly into this story of the great commission that I had to have it pointed out to me by a mentor just last week is that this is where the same name given to Moses is spoken by Jesus as the name of the father of the son of the holy spirit. It is that name, that holy, personal, particular name in which you were baptized. That is the name of your God and mine.”

#PeaceBeforeBreakthrough
“He builds the altar and says, the Lord is peace. The Lord is shalom, but nothing in his circumstances changed. Nothing shifted. All he did was believe. Did the Midianites get driven out of town? Nope. Nothing shifted, but he had peace. Midian still camped in the valley, and he's still the youngest and the weakest family, and the weed is still in the pit. Shalom showed up before Gideon did anything to get it fixed, which means, stay with me, it was never about the fixing.”
46s
#NotYourHome
“you're in the wine press right now, god's not asking you to stop being tired. He's asking you to stop calling the whole a home. Though the wine press may have covered you, it's not your purpose. It's not your destiny. It's not your calling. It's not your home. Hiding keeps you alive, but it'll never make you whole. It'll never make you whole. And for a lot of us, the hiding place is not a whole. It's a calendar. It's a calendar.”
26s
#GodIsAlwaysThere
“But when he woke up, he found out that God didn't arrive at midnight. God was there while he was resting. God was there while he was running. God was in the tent while he was lying. God was there when he made the lentils. God was there when he came up with the idea with his mother. God was there. Why? Because you can't force God to not be present because it's not in his nature.”
42s
#ComeAsYouAre
“God never brought up the stealing. God never brought up the lying. His first words out of his mouth was, I am with you. The question is, what are you waiting to fix before you talk to God again? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to not be tempted again? Are you waiting to complete a certain amount of years to get a chip? Are you waiting for your spouse to no longer look at you with those eyes that you know the moment you broke her heart, you've never seen the glimmer again. What are you waiting for? Because God requires none of it. He just wants you.”
40s
#ChooseSurrender
“He lay down nowhere, but he woke up in a house. He laid down in the middle of dust. But when he woke up, there was a door there. He laid down in despair and grief and lying. But when he woke up, he woke up to a promise. He laid down in self hatred and self loathing. But when he woke up, he found the father. He laid down thinking that his life was over and death would surely be his. But when he woke up, he woke up to a opportunity to surrender. And the question is, when you wake up, what will you choose?”
46s
#GraceBreaksThrough
“The church can't stop that. Politics can't stop that. A pastor can't stop that. Your trauma can't stop that. When the good father wants to get close to his child, he will break through every barrier, every wall, every blockage, every person, every drug, everything that you put up as a barrier to stop hearing that God loves you. God, the moment that you say I want to be close to you again, I want to be near you for the first time. The father will break rank and come find you. Just to the street.”
45s
#FatherWasReady
“And even in that you don't understand that God is getting the glory out of your attendance, just imagine what he'll do with your surrender. Everything he needed was already in the house. The robe was in the house. The ring was in the house. The sandal was in the house. The fattened calf was even in the house. His father had been ready for his return since the day that he left. Say this with me, come home.”
