Drinking coffee & talking grace, hanging out with people & Jesus. Zero religion; all relationship. Helping people & ministries live & lead from Christ as Life.

Answer to the future Jeopardy question “What launched the zombie apocalypse?”…

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him. so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit -Rm. 15:13

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Praise God that in Christ, Aristotle was totally wrong: you are NOT what you repeatedly do, but instead who God has now made you - a new creation reborn by grace. But we can do much better, live much better, love so much better in Him than ever.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Believers - for all the faults in the world, the world largely feels hated by the Church, & that is NOT the fault of the world. We have a different Source in Christ, so only we can span that gap, love sacrificially, & try to understand from each others’ perspective.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Our circumstances in this world are not always better because God is great, and God is no less great because the world isn’t always better. Grace is enough when the world isn’t. #GetGraceRight

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Any stronghold in our life only exists because we are habitually acting on a lie. Lose the lie, and you grow out of the false tyranny of the flesh. In this way, real progress is always about embracing truth not trying harder, paradigm not performance.

@paul_ellis Very true. Shared this recently…

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

@CSLewisDaily Absolutely true; shared this recently…

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

@randyalcorn Yes.. And it just may be we see His grace abounding, making our gain greater than our loss at every turn as we learned dependence and trust even amidst our failures.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

@GretchenRCannon And It’s a lie anyway. Comparison is the thief of walking in one’s own unique and empowering value. You are better in Christ than you ever compare in the world.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

@archi_tradition @MikeSleeves777 @WithLukeArt Awesome spot. Go God.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Life has enough challenges. If someone is over responding, hit pause, step back. Choose to express value and love and then give them space. It's okay for them to feel that way, & it's okay for you to not adopt their drama as your own. You are free like that by grace. #NoDrama

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

@blakecoffee Right. So often what we pray God uses us to do. Abba answered Christ’s prayer with Christ’s sacrifice. 🙏 😲

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Soon launching a whole set of tools to come alongside elders & staff! (We would LOVE to encourage you living & leading from God’s rest & design)

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Eldership is mostly shepherding and disciple making. Not just governance. That’s the natural byproduct of wisdom in God’s family.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

(Hint: Small local fellowship? Elders shepherd & equip staff & leaders)

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

You deeply matter. God uses leaders for those they lead every day, from rest for real freedom. So gaining clarity to live & lead from Christ’s Life at every level is the win. He’s the Life. You’ve got Him. Let’s lead from that.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Confusing the Church with a place, time, building, event, or human heierarchy has put the REAL Church - you & me sharing real spiritual life in Christ as we grow in Him - on soulical life support. NOT dying, but barely living.

[Mike Q. Daniel @mikeqdaniel]

Saint - God isn't inviting you into the wind and waves of your present storm to increase fear, but to deepen trust.
