Is there room for grace in a culture of agency?
April 15, 2016
We have invested so much in our culture of agency that it feels like a betrayal to our intellect to ask for help so we leave God and grace out of our vision for the transformed world.

We are not so helpless and so fallen that our salvation depends on the judgment of God. God has no judgment. God does not have the capacity to judge. The creative force only wants to be with us, to move through us, but we must be willing to embody this force, to make room in our lives to be transformed. Rather than saying, “I will transform my life,” how might our relationships change if we said, “please transform me so there may be more healing and forgiveness in the world.”
