  2. Wake Up Dead Man is not ultimately a story about mystery, exposure, or even justice. It is a story about what happens when mercy speaks to death—and death listens.
  3. Forgiveness is not ours to manufacture. It is ours to proclaim.
  4. Christian spirituality is not a flight from the world, but a deep dive into its brokenness.
  5. We don’t need another brand. We need a people who remember who they are. And that’s us, Gen-X.
  6. What I was missing—what so many are missing—is a Church that doesn’t just speak about Christ, but delivers him.

  8. Let your soul grieve, yes, but don’t let it be eaten alive by worry.

  10. Dispel some of that darkness bottled up inside you, with the grace first shared to us by Christ that is now ours to share with those around us.
