As I look back over my mountains of growth and compare them to the molehills where I stagnated, community often made the difference.

The more we love, the more it hurts, and the more we have to let go.

The Gospel isn’t a life management program. It shouldn’t merely be the crutch we fall on when life gets ugly. It should be the legs we walk on, the air we breathe.

To become more like Jesus we must understand that the only growth we can be in charge of is our own.

When we think of other people as our center and fulfillment, we live frustrated lives.

Growth comes in the aftermath of failure, not wild success.
