Maybe the church's deepest failure isn't lack of truth, but failure to take the inner life seriously. (Footnotes by John Ortberg.)
Christian ministries confront a long-ignored reality: spiritual growth stalls when emotions stay buried. From emotional honesty to trauma healing to mental-health-safe churches, transformation requires more than belief—it demands facing the soul’s hidden wounds. (Footnotes by John Ortberg.)
Success can hide astonishing levels of emotional isolation, and spiritual formation may be the last place we look. (Footnotes by John Ortberg.)
Maybe the church's deepest failure isn't lack of truth — but failure to make truth imaginatively compelling. (Footnote by John Ortberg)
These ministries share a conviction: spiritual formation begins by learning to see differently. Through Scripture, contemplative practice, and renewed visions of the church, they help Christians resist cynicism and recover a Kingdom-shaped imagination. (Footnotes by John Ortberg)
