They discuss being engaged in a deep accountability relationship and transparency in difficult situations in your life. BEST QUOTES “Learning church history will help believers understand how the church contextualized the nuances of the great commission where they lived in the time that they lived in.” “It’s the idols of comfort, personal peace, and self-preference that we have to combat, confess, and then destroy in order to be freed up.” “It’s through that fire that we have melded together meaningful relationships that you cannot communicate in a prospectus.” “Scars are a representation that healing is possible through Jesus Christ and His local church.” “It’s in community that the Scriptures come to life.” “If we have truly trusted Christ to save our soul, then He will also provide for the physical needs we have.” “Praying to the Lord privately is a key discipline that has flourished my walk with the Lord.” “If I’m not leading my wife well in humility, brokenness, and honesty and decision making, it’s all for naught.” “Arguably the best advice I ever received was there are are three areas in your life you need to passionately pursue: purity in your doctrine, purity in your sexuality, and purity in your finances.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network A Gospel for the Poor by David C.
