" But reading the Bible, you learn that it’s not about trying to be something you’re not—it’s about learning to see the movement and motion and possibilities right in the midst of whatever world you find yourself in. We’re not living in the first century or the ancient Near East—we’re here, now. At this time. In this world. "
