Let me remind you, this isn’t advanced Christianity. Brokenness isn’t just for monks and missionaries. Brokenness is actually the first step. It’s basic Christianity. The gospel is an invitation to come and die. Die to your sins. Die to your past. Die to your flesh. And die to your fears. It’s not a comfortable, halfhearted, part-time commitment to Christ. It’s a radical, daring submission to his will for your life.
