…wide awake // chapter two

this book is proving to be quite incredible. i just love mcmanus’ style of presenting the gospel in ways that challenge me to think bigger than my little bubble.
here are some of my favorite quotes from chapter two, followed by my thoughts:
“how many of us are living unaware of all the unused potential all around [...]
