💡 The Church, at its best, has been a community that brings hope to those who are in need.
|| "Open Hands, Soft Hearts, and Hard Feet."
~Wesley Mission's Strategic Plan, 2023
|| "Most of the chefs on the 50 Best list had made their impact by focusing on innovation, on what needed to change. But as I thought about the impact I wanted to make, I focused on the one thing that wouldn’t. Fads fade and cycle, but the human desire to be taken care of never goes away.”
~Unreasonable Hospitality, by Will Guidara
|| "We all were born into this world looking for someone looking back at us. And we remain in this mode of searching for the rest of our lives.”
~Curt Thompson
|| “The English word hospitality originates from the same Latin root as the word hospital. A hospital is literally a ‘home for strangers.’ Of course, it has come to mean a place of healing. There is a link between being welcomed and being healed…Our homes are to be hospitals—And our dinner tables are to be operating tables—the place where broken souls are made whole again.”
~Death By Commodity, by Skye Jethani
|| “The entire ministry of Jesus is appropriately captured in the phrase ‘divine hospitality to the stranger and sinner.”
~Joshua Jipp
|| “We are loved into a People of love.”
~Todd Hall
💡 Soft Hearts & Hard Feet.

|| “Life can grind a man's heart out. It can weaken and callous and wound and numb. We can just go through the motions so often that slowly our hearts shrivel, atrophy, survive. But we can also choose to position our hearts at the places they come alive. The places of beauty and brokenness, sorrow and joy.”
~The Male Malaise, by Jon Tyson
|| “There’s a third kind of tear. These are tears of emotion, when the lacrimal gland is activated by a region of your nervous system that includes the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve wanders from the top of your spinal cord through your facial and vocal muscles and then through your lungs, heart, and intestinal wall, communicating with the flora and fauna of your gut. It slows your heart rate, calms the body, and through enabling eye contact and vocalization can bring about a sense of connection and belonging."
~Dacher Keltner
|| "Jesus wept" is the shortest verse in the bible. It may be the most profound. Here is a God with sacred tears on his cheeks. Being a disciple includes asking Jesus to teach us the way of tears. Push back on the trivial distractions that rob you of your capacity to love. May God have mercy on our dry eyes, and may rivers of tears flow again."
~Jon Tyson
|| "God wants us to have soft hearts and hard feet. The trouble with so many of us is that we have hard hearts and soft feet.”
~Jackie Pullinger
|| “We cannot rightly raise our hands in worship of a God that steps towards us in our hard and broken and then use those same hands to push the hard and broken of others away.”
~Jason Johnson
