Churches need to figure out how they will address the spiritual lives of their staffs and leadership teams.

Ghettos and barrios and abusive homes and trauma wards may produce scarred souls; they can cripple more human spirits than they strengthen.

Real spiritual authority has to do with the truth of the actual words being spoken, and the spirit of the person behind the words. Really, authority is about truth: honest-living truth.

Women are the first witnesses to the resurrection and pillars of the early church.

Death is the prerequisite to resurrection, the new life God intends.

As much as we complain about it, though, there's part of us that is drawn to a hurried life. It makes us feel important. It keeps the adrenaline pumping. It means I don't have to look too closely at my heart or life. It keeps us from feeling our loneliness.

When preaching is done right, it can change lives. When it's done badly, my failure goes beyond the merely human.

We do not need answers or formulas to minister in crisis.

I wrote 'Soul Keeping' because we are taught more about how to care for our cars than how to steward our souls. But you cannot have an impactful life with an impoverished soul.
