Gentleness does not mean softness. It is probably more clearly seen in the way one expresses firmness.

Wisdom is the everyday expression of skillful love

There is no such thing as easy money.

The peace of God transcends. It actually breaks through the hard shell of anxiety and creates an alternative environment in our inner world.

Trust simply cannot be built on betrayal.

Our words may be the greatest power we possess.

The houses of our lives will not be built on the pillars and pilings of wisdom unless our days are built on them.

Wisdom begins with listening.

In this engaging conversation, J.D. Walt and Dan Wilt explore the profound themes of Lent and spiritual transformation through the lens of J.D.'s upcoming book, "Jesus Asking." They discuss the significance of Lent as a journey of questions rather than answers, emphasizing the importance of moving from self-improvement to transformation by embracing the questions Jesus poses. The dialogue delves into the concept of the Christian calendar as a linear, movemental journey, highlighting the cyclical nature of spiritual growth and the role of community in fostering relational wholeness. They reflect on the transformative power of questions, the journey through Lent, and the communal aspect of faith, encouraging listeners to engage deeply with the spiritual journey and the questions that lead to personal and communal transformation.

As we read our way into the Word, the Spirit will lead our path into the world.
