All Christ’s churches need a way to ensure all God’s daughters flourish. One church uses shepherdesses to round out their ministry of the word and care.

The future well-being of poor communities depends, in part, on having access to spiritually healthy, trauma-informed, gospel-preaching, neighbor-loving, mercy-showing, justice-seeking churches.

Other things matter, too. But the spiritual resources of Christ are foundational.

"By the end of the second century, Roman officials were not particularly aware of the nuances of Christian teaching, but they did know what the word 'bishop' meant—it meant someone who kept on agitating about the needs of the poor." –N.T. Wright

There is an ocean-sized separation b/t being confident in the Bible and being arrogant about the Bible.

The first is faith, the second sinful pride.

A lot of Christians appear to have been raised and discipled in arrogant dogmatism that often crumbles when simple, sound biblical faith is needed.

Don’t preach or try to preach in such a way that people are bored with the gospel but excited about you.
