The crisis in our world right now is caused by no one having any idea about how to evaluate what’s true and how to decide whom you trust. Christians should be experts at this and yet we have been revealed as the worst offenders.

One talk a week cannot do what daily, deep, meditative reflection on God’s word can.
And then the power of living it out.

It is also difficult to understand systemic inequality when your identity depends upon believing that everything you have you earned in a meritocracy.
