If we knew everything in face to face ministry we’d never pray.
Ed Welch, in his class Helping Relationships
My name is Andrew. I love Jesus and my wife and daughters. Everyday I learn something new about grace.
If we knew everything in face to face ministry we’d never pray.
What happened to your joy? What a lovely question Paul asks in Galatians.
Humility doesn’t insist on its own agenda…it admits that we do not know all things. In this culture being strong is prized and being weak is marginal. Weakness that is willing to hear the truth is so admirable.
In order to move towards others you have to know what it means to be needy yourself.
(Now that I’m older) I pray more, earlier (when counseling).
Humility always beats cleverness.
When you start summarizing people using a diagnostic category (like the four letters of the Myers-Briggs test), you are not listening.
