It's helpful to remember that God doesn't belong to Christians, Jews, Muslims or anyone. We belong to God, not the other way around.

Faith is about the connection of people as much as it is about God. We are called to be in community and treat others with divine love.

Part of leadership is preparing those who follow to someday go on ahead without you.

I decided to throw out everything I thought I knew about following Christ, being a woman, being a godly wife, masculinity, and marriage.

We need to be the church that serves and loves people now, today, exactly where they are. Until then, we are simply managing decline.

Start today like a new beginning, and not a repeat.
