Author Brene Brown on why the church should be more like a midwife than an epidural.

I found this interview so encouraging as we as a family are in the midst of our own "costly" and sometimes quite "painful" season. 

Have a listen. Here's the link. Love Weeps

As I listened to Brene Brown the lyrics of Rend Collective's song "The Cost" came to mind. I hope they will encourage you as they have encouraged me.

"And no to my desires
I'll leave myself behind
And follow You

I'll walk the narrow road
'cause it leads me to You
I'll fall but grace 
Will pick me up again

I've counted up the cost
Oh I've counted up the cost
Yes I've counted up the cost
And You are worth it

I do not need safety
As much as I need You
You're dangerous
But Lord You're beautiful

I'll chase You through the pain
I'll carry my cross
'cause real love
Is not afraid to bleed

Jesus 
Take my all
Take my everything

I've counted up the cost
And You're worth everything"
