"What difference does one life make? What difference does one decision make? What difference does one conversation make? In this present evil age, is there any righteous cause left? Does my lenten fast even matter? Are my prayers working? Are my alms being wasted?

Beloved, as we continue walking this long and winding road of Lent, I have the privilege to declare this good news over us: God calls life out of death and things into existence that do not yet exist."

"The good news of Lent is that our vindication comes from the triune God. When we embrace the depths of our depravity and our compete dependence on Christ, transformation can begin. So, as gently as I can manage, I invite you to loosen your grip on being “one of the good ones.” Let go of the notion that you’re not one of them."

"If you want to draw closer to God then go be near those who God loves: the poor, the immigrant, the stranger, the enslaved; then God will restore what is lacking in you, then God will cause you to flourish, then God will rebuild in you all that Empire and consumerism and whiteness and misogyny and racism has ruined, because God is the God who calls life out of death and being out of that which has no being."
