“At some point preoccupation with safety can get in the way of living full lives.”

When there is no possibility of retreat, we will find the innovation that only the liminal situation can bring.

A missional theology…appl ies to the whole of life of every believer.

Built squarely on a fivefold ministry, organized around mission where everyone (not just professionals) is considered an empowered agent, and tends to be decentralized in organizational structure.

Renewal means more than reinventing ourselves; it means rediscovering the primal power of the Spirit and the gospel already present in the life of the church.

Liminality and adventure or continue to remain a religious ghetto for culturally co-opted, fearful, middle-class folk.

Worship that is in some way divorced from mission is counterfeit worship

A missional church is a church that must live the dialectic. It must stay in the journey.

The church of Jesus needs to wake up from the exile of passivity and embrace.

Who knows what innovation, what freshness, what new insights from the Spirit will emerge.

You cannot sell a Christendom approach to a post-Christian world. They are anti-Christian.

The ultimate solution to the problem of spiritual complacency is to create a systematically embedded culture of holy urgency.

In short, we find the faith of leap.

Christianity is an adventure of the spirit or it is not Christianity.

I have an office full of product from brands trying to be in videos and an inbox full of songs from artists, but at the end of the day if the artist doesn’t support the brand or it doesn’t make sense for the song, then it will never work.

If we had been there listening, we still might not have been able to determine exactly what Stanton said. All we know for sure is that everyone was weeping, and the room was full.

I had a lot of hurts and confusions. You know, it’s hard when you’re a kid to be different. You’re all full of things, and you don’t know that it’s about.

How can you expect me to be perfect…when I am full of contradictions.

Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you’re doing something.

The Night is young & full of rest I can’t describe the way she’s dress’d She’ll pander to some strange requests Anything that you suggest Anything to please her guest.

I like to look at the glass half full.

Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.
