As the anniversary of @rachelheldevans death approaches, I’d love to hear some of your favorite quotes of hers. Share them under the hashtag #rememberingRHE I’ll be sharing some of my favorites over the next few days. Here’s one from her book Inspired: 👇

[Rachel Held Evans (1981-2019) @rachelheldevans]

"But whenever you aren't sure what God is like, think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel brave, and what makes you feel loved. That's what God is like."
-Rachel Held Evans from "What is God Like?"

I think I miss her the most on Ash Wednesday.

Today we repent, we name the mortality of our skin, we die to self. And in doing so, we embrace life.
