Shareable Quotes:

“I think what we’ve defaulted to in the past is preparing our messages really well and just winging the invitation. And we don’t want to wing the invitation.” – Shane Pruitt

“There’s an urgency to what we’re doing. There’s no such thing as just another sermon. If you’re talking to souls, eternal souls, there’s no such thing as just another message that I’m giving to the youth. Like this is life or death. And so, the gospel is the power of God for salvation.” – Paul Worcester

“I think our goal is always the glory of the Lord and clarity because God is not a God of confusion. And yes, God can work in spite of us. Listen, God can speak through a donkey, so we all have hope.” – Shane Pruitt
