“I used to think God wouldn’t talk to me, but now I know I’m just selective with what I choose to hear.”

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned.

I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me, but now I’m more afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.

You can quit anything on a Thursday.

Courage doesn’t mean we’re not afraid anymore, it just means our actions aren’t controlled by our doubts.

Live your life like you’re exactly who Jesus thinks you are.

I don’t know every step I’m supposed to take. I think Jesus just wants me to take the next step.

A hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That’s what I want my life to be all about – full of abandon, whimsy, and in love.

Words people say not only have a shelf life but have the ability to shape life.

Whimsy doesn’t care if you are the driver or the passenger; all that matters is that you are on your way.

We’re all amateurs when it comes to love. Don’t be too hard on each other.

Sometimes we ask God for help and God gives us hope, not because it’s different, but because it’s the same.

God made beauty so we’d know how He felt about us.

Stand up like a mountain; have faith like a rock; love like an avalanche

Love has the kind of power criticism only wishes it had.

Being engaged is a way of doing life, a way of living and loving. It’s about going to extremes and expressing the bright hope that life offers us.
