That was a heartbreaking loss for Cape Verde, but Vozinha won.

Brazil, it’s all on you now.

Let’s go!

Missionaries to marginalized communities need to come as learners, not saviors, and genuinely center the kingdom work already happening there from a place of deep compassion and humility —I rarely see this type of church planting and missions work.

White evangelicals need to do the hard internal work in their own communities, confronting the racism embedded in rural and middle American Christianity.

It’s easy to let a season become our identity.

Remember, it’s just a season.

All seasons end.

Most Christians teach: God has a specific plan for your life, and if you discover it and execute it, you'll be fulfilled. That's a sophisticated lie, unintentional, but it's still a lie. The true promise: God is with you, transforming you, using you in His kingdom…

[Lu Johnson @Lu_Johnson]

…If you never change the world but you you love your neighbor, trust God and grow in Christ’s likeness, your life has infinite meaning. That’s your calling.

Following God means you’ll do things, but it’s not your purpose or calling.

Capitalism needs you to believe your worth is tied to your output. It needs you to constantly produce, accomplish, optimize, monetize. It needs you to feel like your life only matters if you're climbing…

Solomon accomplished things. He built things. He gathered wealth and wisdom and reputation. And his life was still emptier than a flower.
