Key Quotes From Christine Caine
“Out of, you know, 170 women somehow alluded to in Scripture, there is only one woman that Jesus tells us to remember, only one. And it’s Lot’s wife.”
“It didn’t matter what country I went to, what pastors I spoke to, what leaders I spoke to. After the pandemic, I would hear a version of the same phrase, which was, ‘I just wish things would go back to normal.’”
“I was sitting there by the end of 2022, I’m thinking, ‘We are not in 2020 anymore. We’re not even in 2021 anymore.’ And yet the mindset I found in so many pastors and leaders was, ‘Are things going to go back to normal? Can we get back to pre-2020?’”
“We are in a moment in history right now, that if we don’t arrest this, so many people and pastors and churches and leaders are going to get stuck in a place we’re not meant to get stuck because Jesus is pulling us forward to the future.”
“You’re seeing people that are stuck with, how are we going to move forward, how are we going to navigate all of this? And other people that are stuck in the metrics that they had for measuring what is healthy church. How do we even define church? And the fact that the whole landscape has changed.”
“This is a reckoning moment, I think, for all of us in any realm of church leadership. And we have to look at what it is that we were wanting.”
