“Truth is, I think, if God just gave us our daily bread, many of us would be angry. 'That's all you're going to give me? You're just going to give me enough to sustain me for today?

“A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'”
“Our culture is all about shallow relationships. But that doesn't mean we should stop looking each other in the eye and having deep conversations.”
“If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.”
“Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.”

“When I read the statements of Christ, there seems to be this urgency and intensity. I guess that's what I get out of it when I read the tone of the Scriptures, which is very different from the tone of our culture.”
