What We Learned
7% of Americans have spiritual conversations once a week or more.
Why we don't have spiritual conversations
There is a link between the words we use and the ways we think and behave.
Every language will change or die.
How Jonathan reimagined the word, pain.
How people can begin to reimagine words
Words are essential to the Christian faith.
We have to stop just talking about things and start embodying things.
Most people are obsessed with finding the right answers, but I'm obsessed with asking the right questions.
The best teachers are often people.
If you don't take risks you're going to have to accept some regret. If you do take risks you're going to have to deal with failure.
All you can do is all you can do and all you can do is enough.
