"We peeled off our church masks and stood side by side in this strange call. As a group we had lost our taste for cozy gatherings of ladies around teacups and floral centerpieces. Bible studies with good coffee and real cream would never be enough again. We were even done being content with discipling one another and loving each other well. It was not enough, not even close... Reaching a lost broken world won’t happen if we don’t step out of our comfort zones. More [importantly], we cannot discover the heart of God if we hide in our safe places with people who think like us and look like us. Is it hard? Yes, but discovering the heart of God in such stunning beauty that can only be found in the dark places has been worth every single tear."
