Truth will set you free. And Truth has a name.
William P. Young
Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.
William P. Young
But, enough of that for now. Let’s get lost again in the starry night.
William P. Young
Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved.
William P. Young
Anger is the right response to something that is so wrong. But don't let the anger and pain and loss you feel prevent you from forgiving him and removing your hands from around his neck.
William P. Young
Lies are a little fortress inside them you can feel safe & powerful.

Does that mean, asked Mack, that all roads will lead to you? Not at all, smiled Jesus...Most roads don't lead anywhere. What it does mean is that I will travel any road to find you.
William P. Young
Why would the God of the universe want to be submitted to me?' Because we want you to join us in our circle of relationship. I don't want slaves to my will I want brothers and sisters who will share life with me.
William P. Young
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.
William P. Young
We've created a theology in the West of a God who is fundamentally self-centered. The imagery of God as distant, unapproachable, unreachable -- that's not a God who is relational. It is a God that gets to declare or judge when he gets pissed off. But there is no basis for love and relationships if God is a fundamentally self-centered being.
William P. Young
I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.
William P. Young
There is always risk in relationships, but bottom line? The world has no meaning apart from relationships. Some are just messier than others, some are seasonal, others are difficult, and a few are easy, but every one of them is important.
William P. Young
This life is only the anteroom of a greater reality to come.
William P. Young
It is remarkable how a seemingly insignificant action or event can change entire lives.
William P. Young
If anything matters, then everything matters.
William P. Young
The Gospel is a declaration of something totally finished apart from our agreement or vote. Inside that declaration is an ongoing and relentless invitation to deepening relationship but any lack of belief or participation on our part has no power to negate the accomplished truth of that declaration.
William P. Young
Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside when you have the eyes to see.
