Quotes:
“Discipleship is following Jesus and striving to become more like Jesus.”
“When I have a discipleship relationship with my girls, first and foremost, I am trying to cement who they are.”
“If my students are in campus ministry, my question is, what church are you in? Who are you sitting under?”
“When I talk a certain way or I present a certain way, that is a part of how God has fashioned me. So, I am not going to come at things as docile as you(white majority culture) would like. Part of this is just cultural too. When we come into these spaces black women and black men are asked to divest from their culture to give the gospel. And I would say that actually weakens the potency of the gospel and the transformational spirit that takes place. So, I would suggest that white culture allow black people and brown people that they hire to be fully themselves as they come into those spaces. And then, I think they should elevate and spotlight the goodness within that culture.”
“Cross-cultural discipleship can work, cause it worked for me.”
“Discipleship is two people being vulnerable and pushing toward the Image of Christ.”
“We gotta let things go at the cross. You can’t be holding baggage and holding other people’s trauma and baggage. It’s hard to do gospel work if you are holding both.”
