BEST QUOTES

“So much of prayer invites us into a form of silence where we discover that the silence is actually a language of God’s. And it's not a form of rejection. It's an invitation to a fresh way of engaging with God's voice and understanding how God has worked with us.” – Addison Bevere

“Something about silence drives us to better understand God and our world and ourselves and how it all comes together.” – Addison Bevere

“I thought that peace was having all the answers. I didn't realize that peace was being in tune with the one who is the answer.” – Addison Bevere

“God doesn't deliver us from a thing. If he knows that that thing will ultimately deliver us to Him.” – Addison Bevere

“Joy is an important tenant of the kingdom of God. You are sacrificing your joy because you are trying to sustain something that is not yours to sustain.” – Addison Bevere

“When we make prayer about us moving our mouths, we actually make prayer about us and not about God.” – Addison Bevere

“Shalom does not mean peace. We use it as peace and peace is certainly a part of shalom. But what Shalom literally means is integration. It means the pieces coming together to make a whole. And because the pieces are coming together to make a whole, Shalom communicates peace, joy, and wellness. What is fractured and fragmented is coming together and becoming whole.” – Addison Bevere
