LIFE IS A FUNNEL

J. Vernon McGree (1904-1988) writes that a simple way to remember this is that life is a funnel.

The wide way, the way that feels comfortable, easy, spacious, free … actually narrows into restrictions, slavery, death.

[Kari Patterson @karipatterson]

It’s true of any addiction. The “freedom” to engage in whatever it is whenever we want however we want only ends in slavery.

• The wide way narrows until it’s so tight you are trapped.

• The narrow way widens until you find yourself running free.

[Kari Patterson @karipatterson]

We are made new by dipping into the dirty, dusty, dailiness of life.

It is in the overlooked, ignored, ordinary stuff of life where God changes us.

Kari is teaching on the #SacredMundane today.

[Kari Patterson @karipatterson]

Indeed, am teaching on the Second Mile!

(Husband here, who writes these tweets & was mixed up. ;-)

[Kari Patterson @karipatterson]

Teaching today on the #SacredMundane with the women of Southwest Bible Church. Brought some books for all who want to dive in more.

[Kari Patterson @karipatterson]

Looking forward to this! Co-facilitating a women’s ministry roundtable at the @HarborNetwork_ Leaders’ Summit, Oct 12-13 in Louisville. Together at this encouraging, equipping, renewing opportunity we’ll explore the value of Renewal-Driven Mission. » https://t.co/8Fu3b5fDYy #LS21

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
—Jesus (John 15:13)

Friends of God. Friends of each other.

Friends.

My grand vision for women’s ministry in this season: That we would be FRIENDS.

“No longer do I call you servants … but I have called you friends.”
—Jesus (John 15:15)

The Sail & the Anchor: I tend to speed ahead (like a sail in the wind), while @JPintheWord like an anchor slows us down ;-)

Was really fun reflecting on our similarities & differences serving in ministry together, sharing on the @HarborNetwork_ podcast » https://t.co/XlvVz6neUA

ONENESS.

What is it?

Over and over and over in Scripture we see this repeated theme of being ONE.

One mind, one heart, one Spirit, one Lord, one baptism—ONE body of Christ. 1/

[Kari Patterson @karipatterson]

Join me for Episode 33 as we dive into what ONENESS really is and how we can learn from His created world to be more of what HE intended us to be.

[Kari Patterson @karipatterson]

So as we look *through the Word AT the world* we see a beautiful picture of what oneness is like.
