Every few months I love to share a few encouraging tweets from one of my favorite people on Twitter. I've highlighted both Burk Parsons and Lore Ferguson Wilbert in the past, and today I want to share 8 tweets from another master Twitter-user: Matt Smethurst.
Matt is the managing editor of The Gospel Coalition, and I'm consistently encouraged, emboldened, and zinged with conviction from his own insights and the insightful quotes from others he shares.
Here are eight of those insights for you to ponder today.

Jesus is not your copilot. He’s in the driver’s seat. And you’re in the back on a stretcher.
