The way you walk, talk, and present yourself to others matters when it comes to your faith. Why? Because if you claim to be a Christian, then people are going to expect you to act like one. Simple. Your swagger truly matters. No matter how long or how briefly you’ve known Jesus as your Lord, you are held to a higher standard of accountability by those around you.

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.
