How fast and how often do you compare with others? Welcome to a 3-part blog series about our ongoing search. Here's the intro.

Most of us would never admit we’re obsessed with status… but give us a few milliseconds in a room, and we’ve already figured out where we rank. Who’s impressive? Who’s intimidating? Who’s beneath us? Who might threaten us? It happens faster than a blink and sticks around longer than we.....

STATUS UPDATE 🔔 Ed’s developed a new series all about status—and it is gooooood 🙌

In this three-part series, we’re going to look at our love affair with climbing the ladder, the shocking reality that Jesus stepped off it on purpose, and what it means for us to stop fighting over the best seat in the house.

Part one is up now, so head to the blog and check it out!

🕊️ Swipe through for life-changing truths about grace, inspired by Ed Khouri’s book “Becoming a Face of Grace”.

Which of these facts about grace stands out most to you? 💬 Let us know below! 👇

———
1️⃣ “Grace, understood for all its fullness, is nothing if not relational. It’s rarely experienced when combing the dusty shelves of theological libraries compiled over centuries by post-Reformation scholars. In its most profound form, grace is a relational truth you and I experience (or don’t) in the context of our face-to-face interactions with others.”

2️⃣ “Grace is the glue of healthy, life-giving connections with God and with others. It is foundational to the creation of deep and enduring attachments that help us grow increasingly secure in love.”

3️⃣ “Grace is not an abstract theological concept—it is a relational reality that can be shared when people interact, face-to-face, in an ongoing relationship.”

4️⃣ “For people who follow Jesus—actually, even for those who don’t—grace is foundational for everything. Specifically, for those who call themselves Christian, grace is the launch point for each and every faith journey. It is how God loves, gives to, and guides us.”

5️⃣ “Grace is not just something that is good for us spiritually; grace actually changes the way our brain works.”
