He also...

startling statistics
cierabgardner: There are 120 million unchurched people in the United States making it the largest mission field in the Western hemisphere and the fifth largest mission field on earth.  Non-believers can be divided into two groups of people; nominally churched, which make up 30% of U.S. population and the radically unchurched, which makes up 40% of the U.S. population.

So here it is per request from some folks): If you’re not a close friend, a roommate, or in my Community Group, you most likely have a) no idea who I am or b) that I deal with severe chronic pain. If you lined me up amongst ten women, you probably wouldn’t pick me to be the...

Exactly what I needed to hear at this very moment. “Broken people, complex stories, strained relationships, old hurts bearing current pain… these things are sometimes far more visible to us than anything else. We go through seasons when our troubles neither feel light nor momentary, but ‘too much’ and always. Father, thank you that we don’t have to pretend otherwise. Thank you...
