Questions are not scary. What is scary is when people don’t have any. What is tragic is faith that has no room for them.

What does happen constantly with all kinds of people I meet is they say I had this encounter with Jesus, can you help me understand it... The labels, more than ever, simply aren't big enough to contain what the cosmic Christ is up to in the world.
