- Getting There with Jack and Madde
- “We haven’t arrived yet. We really see our relationship with Jesus as a journey, and we’re just a little bit further down the road. We’re not there yet - we’re getting there.” - Jack
- “[We reflected on] what it feels like when we hear the voice of our Good Shepherd inviting us into something and the small moments of invitation, but also the larger understanding of how we position our lives to follow Jesus in a way that incorporates our whole self, not just a part of us.” - Madde
- “As followers of Jesus, He’s made certain callings very clear in Scripture - we’re supposed to disciple under Him. We’re called to love God and love other people, and that can take so many different forms.” - Jack
- “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” - Frederick Buechner
- “What do you love to do, and where is there a need in the world? That’s probably where God’s calling you.” - Jack
- “What sets your heart on fire? What are the things you think that God has made you uniquely good at?” - Madde
- “What would be the most exciting version of this to you? What do you think that God is stirring in you when you think about that?” - Madde
- “What do you want to do? What hits on your deep desires and passions?” - Jack
What’s changing our lives:
