Pain is a warning light that tells us that something is wrong. It’s a light we should welcome, but all too often, we don’t want the bad news we fear is coming. In my darkest days, I avoided the light. (@sharonclements)

It's not an accident that we don't trust our own instincts. Churches & whole cultures train us to trust our leaders over our own instincts & whispers of the Holy Spirit. We must take responsibility & stop explaining away the things that are right before our eyes. #spiritualabuse

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

This is why @DianeLangberg is a necessary prophetic voice. If only we would truly see the reality of evil rather than justifying or excusing it.

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

Leadership like Jesus is stunningly different from the focus on the grand and great leader we often find in churches today. Leadership in the name of Jesus is a regressive leadership — a leadership that goes back, stoops and willingly becomes small.

Suffering runs deep. God's love runs deeper.

Shame runs deep. God's love runs deeper.

Sin runs deep. God's love runs deeper.

Why I love Jesus: He heals deep wounds. He helps me forgive. He brings true joy and laughter. He helps me love. He gives me a voice.

[Sharon Clements @sharonclements]

@sammyrhodes I’m so sorry.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

The same bible that tells us to "rejoice always" has a book called Lamentations. We don’t have to choose one from the other.

Good, healthy Christian faith is non-dualistic, able to hold multiple tensions together.

"In trauma, the access to speech is, in many cases, limited, and this loss of speech intensities the trauma sufferer's sense of isolation. ...the recovery of narrative is an integral part of trauma healing."
