BEST QUOTES “We are only going to be good for the world to the degree that we have allowed Christ to infuse His goodness into us." "There is a shelf life on our influence." "I'm convinced that only a vital relationship with Jesus Christ can give you a non-defensive posture where you can be not only a life-giving friend, but a life-giving enemy." "What are we supposed to do with our work when it comes to faith?" "I'm learning extraordinary things from people who are dying well." "We want our public ministry to be matched by our private reality of pursuing Christ personally." "A love for Christ between people is often more caught than it is taught." "We want the last thing they hear every night to be, 'We love you, God does too, and we are for you.'" "You are serving something and someone so much bigger than you who doesn't need you." "The more shy we can be about ourselves, the more boastful we can be about Jesus." "If you do something big or if you do something small, it matters equally." "Addicts teach me a lot about grounded living and being honest about your junk."
