Dave Zahl posted this at Mockingbird a week or so ago; I don't know who Brene Brown is, but this is really pretty great. I really appreciate her talking about "what she wanted" in a church upon her return - and then about what actually happened. To me, this is more good evidence that Christian faith really is, at its best, about diving into the real stuff of what's important - about getting under the skin - and is truly about "making all things new."
I like very much, too, her pointing to the process of growth, and that "something has to die" - i.e., there is unavoidable pain at the heart of it all. We die, eventually. Of course, that shouldn't be too surprising in a faith whose symbol is the cross itself - but, it definitely can be anyway.

Too awesome to bury in a weekender post, our love affair with Brene continues:
