“Once we do that, the responsibility for spiritual growth is no longer with me, it’s with you. We’ve given you a recipe,” Warren told me. “We don’t have to guide you, because you’re guiding yourself. These habits become a new self-identity, and, at that point, we just need to support you and get out of your way.”
One of the nicest - and most unexpected - outcomes of writing this book is that I’ve gotten a chance to spend time with a number of pastors who have drawn on the text in their ministry. Andrew Stanley in Atlanta and a handful of other pastors have reached out to me - and getting to spend time with those folks, and their communities, has been so meaningful.
