God is looking for progression, not perfection. And you can't find progression unless you have direction. Let God be your compass. Let the way you study, spend time with friends, act in your relationships, and learn be done through the direction of God himself.

Jarrid Wilson

Jarrid Wilson war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Buchautor, der zuletzt an der Harvest Christian Fellowship in Kalifornien wirkte. Bekannt wurde er als Mitgründer der Initiative „Anthem of Hope“ und durch seinen offenen Einsatz gegen die Stigmatisierung von Depressionen und psychischen Erkrankungen in der Kirche. Seine Texte thematisieren seelischen Zerbruch und Gottes Gnade und führen Bibellesern vor Augen, dass christlicher Glaube und psychische Not einander nicht ausschließen.
