While people may seem too broken, too messy, and too far gone to us, there’s no such thing as a “lost cause” to Jesus

The simple life is one that is content in high's and low's because our strength comes from Jesus.

Grace is a gift from God, given through Jesus. It is what brings full transformation into our lives. But we must let grace find us and find us out.

People are "meaning making machines.” We use stories to make sense of the world around us. The problem is, those stories are usually one sided, worst case scenarios, and are seldom true.

When our insecurity hijacks our identity we must remember who's we are, the truth about how God feels about us, and who He says we are.

When our emotions and feelings become overwhelming we often run away and hide. God comes to us in our hideouts asking: “What are you doing here?”

Within each of us is a collection of key moments we've carried under a shroud of shame and secrecy. Triggers are the emotions that surround those moments.

We usually find ourselves either protecting or hiding behind what our lives look like on the surface, while pushing down and hiding what lives below.
