- “At the end of the day, when our kids stand before Jesus, He probably won’t care much about GPAs, batting averages, yards per carry, popularity, or how much they can bench press. I’m not saying any of that’s bad, but what He cares about is their soul.” – Shane Pruitt
- “If you want to be mentored by the best, you’ve got to be the most teachable person in the room.” – Paul Worcester
- “The last thing we want to do is not let our yes be yes. Sometimes, we can over-commit, and I get that. But if you say yes to meeting with a student, or if you say yes to discipling a student, try your absolute hardest to keep that yes.” – Evan Vela
- “Your mentee doesn’t have to imitate your preferences and opinions. You want him or her to be more like Jesus. That’s the goal.” – Paul Worcester
