Bridging people, ideas and opportunities for transformation.

[Brian Sanders @BSunderground]

Unity is an innovation. It's an old idea but it has never really been tried.

“Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes. 
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.” - Teresa of Ávila

@bobrobertsjr Saw the same statue last Thursday. Quite a park and a lot of history in the surrounding buildings.

@bradleybrisco I think I may have been referring to the last chapter of his book, “Leadership on the Line.” I’m away now but, if I remember correctly, the chapter was titled, “Sacred Heart.” Good stuff.

"Our deepest, truest longing is for community, a place where we are loved and known-a place where we belong. And the church is not the church unless it can satisfy this longing." - Brian Sanders

@bradleybrisco That phrase and the next 2 parts of that quote form an entire philosophy of leadership that’s biblical and beautiful.

The church doesn’t just SEND missionaries; the church IS the missionary.

Individually and collectively as the body of Christ, we are a sent, missionary entity.

[Bill Couchenour @BillCouchenour]

“Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion is to look out to the world...yours are the hands with which God is to bless people now.” Teresa of Avila

[Alan Hirsch @alanhirsch]

"It is LOVE that is the final defense of the faith. Jesus actually expected no other kind of apologetic when he said that is is by our love that the world will know we are his disciples (Johns 13:34-35). Love is therefore the defining mark of authenticity."

This is why I appreciate @lucas_pulley & everyone else at the @undergroundvox. If you have anything to do with mission/church planting carve out 10 minutes to read this post. Then put as many of these thoughts into practice.

God’s great commission is to “go and make disciples.” Can Jesus’ followers still accomplish this when we’re being told to “stay and avoid other humans”? Register now for the next @saturateworld webinar: https://t.co/reEaARWhRz

"The presence of God is hidden in plain sight. We find Him not by diligent struggle but through the clarity of vision that simplicity gives." Kevin Grenier

Courage is the form of every virtue at the testing point...'" C.S. Lewis
In a time of uncertainty, it takes courage to do almost anything eternal. It will take courage to care, trust, connect, love and even hope.

@alanhirsch new book #Reframation refuses to settle for pious platitudes, and calls us to experience & communicate the gospel in ways that resonate beyond the church. A must read! https://t.co/reZwHEl4uv
