I’ve spent my whole life trying to make my faith easy. The truth is, it’s not. From what I’ve been reading, if we do it right, it will actually kill all the earlier versions of us. What I’m trying to do now is make my faith simple.

What I’ve learned following Jesus is we only really find our identities by engaging the people we’ve been avoiding.

But extravagant love often means coloring outside the lines and going beyond the norms.
