Hey Ryan!

In my own proclamation, I continually have to remind myself of what it is that I am called to proclaim. It is tempting to slip into moralism or Biblical teaching or feel-good band-aid distribution.

The Gospel grabs hold of us and transforms us. That is its power and its threat! The Gospel is not about me or you or any other proclaimer…
So, while it is more safe and comfortable to talk about God, we all need to experience God's Word breaking into our world!
Ryan, I'm grateful to have a colleague searching for that place!
