Thought for the day: The image that comes to mind is from Deuteronomy where God is described as behaving like a mother eagle. When the time is right she removes all the soft padding from the nest making it an uncomfortable place to be. Then she begins to remove some of the branches which naturally destabilizes the setting. Finally she hovers over the nest flapping her great wings, forcing her young into the air where despite the terror of falling they learn to use their wings and fly. Currently, too much of church structure and leadership is designed for comfort and security, and our congregations never discover that they were made to soar on the Winds of the Spirit. The choice is ours – the nest or the winds? #progressRenew
