My experience is that lots of people go to church, sing the songs, tell the story, etc but have profound ambivalence about God.

The life that you want begins the moment you embrace the life you have because all of it is a miracle.

When someone wrongs us, we rarely (if ever) want to do the same thing back. Why? Because we want to do something more harmful. Likewise, when someone insults us, our instinct is to search for words that will be more insulting.Revenge always escalates.

A good sermon is going to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. It inspires you. It provokes you. It should make your soul soar.

You can set your intention to better understand your soul, your spirit, through daily practices like prayer, yoga and meditation, etc.

When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.

I believe that God is love. I believe that Jesus came to show us this love, to give us this love, to teach us about this love, so that we could live in this love and extend it to others.

A lot of Christians have been taught a story that begins in chapter 3 of Genesis, instead of chapter 1. If your story doesn't begin in the beginning, but begins in chapter 3, then it starts with sin, and so the story becomes about dealing with the sin problem. So Jesus is seen as primarily dealing with our sins.

And this reality extends beyond this life. Heaven is full of forgiven people. Hell is full of forgiven people. Heaven is full of people God loves, whom Jesus died for. Hell is full of forgiven people God loves, whom Jesus died for. The difference is how we choose to live, which story we choose to live in, which version of reality we trust.

It is better to be fully present and rested and engaged for one thing than rushed, distracted, and scattered for ten.

I like to say that I practice militant mysticism. I'm really absolutely sure of some things that I don't quite know.

What we believe about heaven and hell is incredibly important because it exposes what we believe about who God is and what God is like.

I got into pastoring because of the art form. I started a church, but I felt the art form needed to be freed for all people. A particular religion over others was never interesting to me. I wanted to talk to people about what it means to be alive and what it means to be human.

I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man.

Like a mirror, God appears to be more and more a reflection of whoever it is that happens to be talking about God at the moment.

I believe that God is with you, that there is a presence. I believe this God is for you. I don't think the universe is a cold, dead place that is indifferent.

Suffering, it turns out, demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore.

The interactions I have are with people who are very kind and very grateful and they say very overwhelming things to me. Somebody who doesn't like what I do or doesn't understand it, then it wasn't for them.

My interest is in what's true, where is the life, where is the heart and what inspires.
