DARA TINIUS

“We don’t get to have hope without having grief. Hope dares to admit that not

everything is as it should be, and so if we want to be hopeful, first we have to grieve."

LISA POSTELWAIT

"How do you remain joyful? Or how do you recover and get back to joyfulness during or after hard times? Being joyful is a state of mind and a matter of the heart, and this can lead us to greater community with each other and with Christ."

PAM ESTEP

"Like beautiful music, peace is not easy to achieve. Bringing the composer’s music to life requires intentionality.  I think this is a bit how God intends His gift of Peace to be reproduced in us."

MONEMA STEPHENS

"Gifts are often intended to send a message. And they’re usually given with the hope that the receiver will get the message. We spend a lot of money trying to send a message."
