LIVE | WE SHOULD GET OUT MORE x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Love can’t be rushed. Hurry steals the very thing love needs most: time. Time to sit. Time to see. Time to truly be with someone instead of just near them. Jesus shows us a better way. He never hurried. Because love—real, lasting, transformational love—always takes time.

Hurry is not just a disordered schedule. Hurry is a disordered heart.

Not a break. Not a vacation. A soul-deep rest that can’t be shaken by pressure or performance. If your life feels heavy… If your days feel rushed… If your soul feels thin… Maybe it’s time to trade the world’s weight for His yoke. 🕊 You weren’t made to carry it alone.

We often chase ease—less stress, fewer responsibilities, more comfort. But deep down, our souls aren't truly longing for an easy life. They're longing for a life rightly ordered under the care of a good Shepherd.

The Celebration of Personal Inadequacy with John Ortberg x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Spiritual formation is like training for a sport or learning an instrument—it’s the daily practice of shaping our hearts and minds so that doing what’s right, good, and beautiful becomes natural to us. It’s not just about following rules, but about becoming the kind of person who actually wants to do the right thing because it aligns with who we are becoming. Just like an athlete trains their body to instinctively perform well in a game, spiritual formation helps us develop habits, attitudes, and desires that naturally move us toward God’s best for our lives.

Lent, a 40-day period of reflection, repentance, and spiritual preparation leading up to Easter. It’s a time to slow down, realign our hearts with God, and remember our dependence on Him. #AshWednesday #Lent #FaithJourney #SpiritualGrowth

Spiritual formation is for everyone. Just as there's an 'outer you' that is being shaped and formed all the time, like it or not, by accident or on purpose, so there is an 'inner you.' You have a spirit. And it's constantly being shaped and pulled at: by what you hear and watch and say and read and think and experience.

Worship is more than music; it’s a response to God’s goodness. Whether in song, in stillness, or in how you live today—choose to worship. #worship #songs #christian #Jesus #praise #serve #obedience #truth

If those of us who claim to be more like Jesus created safe places to bring their raw authentic selves, how many more people would find freedom to not stay where they are? #Godbless #thanksGod #trustGod #christianposts #Jesusloves #jesusquotes #Godfirst
