Before calling has anything to do with doing, it has everything to do with being that essence of yourself that God knew before the foundations of the earth, that God called into being and that God alone truly knows. It is the call to be who we are and at the same time to become more than we can yet envision. - Ruth Haley Barton, Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership
The Name of the Lord - Rev. Chris Currie | 9.17.23
"At the heart of the desperate suffering there is in the world, suffering we can do nothing to resolve or remove for good, there is an indestructible energy making for love. If we have grasped what Jesus is about, we can trust that this is what lies at the foundation of everything." - Rowan Williams, Tokens of Trust
God Calls His Servant - Rev. Chris Currie | 9.10.23
"This Exodus invitation... is not about journeying perfectly, as we'll see. It's about journeying honestly. An honest look at ourselves reveals that our hearts are addicted to managing our pain and sin rather than really acknowledging and embracing them. We cope rather than surrender. It takes the dark valleys of the wilderness to fully learn to live with spiritual courage and authenticity." - Chuck DeGroat, Leaving Egypt
