Have you ever thought, "How can I love God and people more?" It's a good question,

but...

The first question should be, "How can I allow myself to experience God's love more?" Because as John says, "We love because he first loved us."

[Alan Hirsch @alanhirsch]

The question we are asking every follower of Jesus is this: is the story we are telling big, mysterious, poetic, & mythical enough to allow us to experience the reality of God beyond the clutter and debris of this world that gets in the way?

"All human beings are formed through narrative. It is what shapes our identities as people - corporately as in tribal history, and personally through events that impact our sense of who we are and what our roles are in the world. We are wired for story."

I am increasingly convinced that the two great divides, Clergy-Laity and Sacred-Secular, are at the root of what ails the church today. We must move from secular vocations to sacred callings and we must move from equipping some to activating all. #PriesthoodOfAllBelievers #APEST

@LarryMcCrary @mitchtidwell Works for me

@LarryMcCrary @mitchtidwell Coffee first, then nap. In about half an hour the coffee will kick in and keep your nap short.

Listen to this missionary dad’s heartfelt plea to pray for missionary kids. Then… pray with us! https://t.co/6hgVOBI5TW

@NathanGSloan Would love to see your curriculum. Would you consider?

[Lars @LarryMcCrary]

A lot of weighty decisions out there for men and women serving overseas and weariness is sometimes winning. Encouragement and Listening from their Sending Church goes a long way as someone thinks through their future.

[Dave Lewis @TheMadvocate]

Excellent opportunity for top-notch training. #missionarycare

Who could you bless by paying their way to this?

As someone who has faced traumatic losses, it’s easy for me to run ahead of God and imagine losses where life may be waiting instead. I’m learning to wait and see before I jump ahead to preemptive grief. Here’s to making space to wait well when our hearts are burning to wail.

@davidjoannes Lived with the Bruu tribe in Mukdahan province, northeast Thailand. Kwai were key part of their lives/diet. Made everything into laap.

Casual Friday has a huge change coming. Like many others, we are pivoting in light of the current corona crisis. Join us in creating a better version for the days ahead. Missionaries will always need your care, and we are committed to equipping you. https://t.co/CBBEGstwcq

[Dave Lewis @TheMadvocate]

Another COVID casualty - kinda. With the current glut of digital media, we have decided to pull the plug on Casual Friday as you've known it. What will take its place? Read this to find out. https://t.co/KwmY7FYFyb
