Love your enemies, and love that one person who embodies every single one of your pet peeves and always seems to find the fastest way to most intensely annoy you.
Each person’s personality — our most and least favorite parts — is a gift, and it’s all about how we receive the uniqueness of each person in his or her personality. Each trait speaks an aspect of God’s heart. Accepting everyone as they are isn’t always easy, but it’s easier than being surprised and rattled every time they do that one thing over and over and over again. It’s more than that, though; when we accept people, they have the freedom to be themselves. After all, unity is not uniformity.
It’s scary to give people permission to be themselves. Maybe the Lord is asking you to expand your heart to fit them in it.

True Masculinity and Femininity
What does being sons and daughters living true masculinity and femininity mean? In a world that has kind of a broken understanding of masculinity and femininity, it seems that our identities as sons and daughters of God—the idea of masculinity and femininity, have been hijacked and somehow misunderstood. This is why it’s so important to understand our hearts and…

The Asceticism of Silence
What’s the most prevalent voice that you hear in your life? Is it God’s or someone’s/something else? We long to teach people how to pray, contemplative silence, inner recollection, and interior stillness are ways to live in a relationship with God. But, there’s a silver bullet to make people live in chaos and noise, exteriorly or interiorly. Every day, through general media…

Hot Takes 5

Let us not be so quick to judge—everything is not as simple as it may seem.
