“Here’s our job as believers, love everybody ALWAYS!”

You don’t want to pick a fight with just the guy at the deli, [you want to] pick a fight somewhere in the world and just run towards it. Run because the fight is going to go on without you if you miss it.

The way we treat people we disagree with most is a report card on what we’ve learned about love.

Do less of what you’re terrible at and more of what you’re good at. I don’t know if that sounds too simple, but it’s been working for me.

God makes confetti out of our titles and accomplishments to celebrate the poor and the humble.

One guy just kept asking me and asking me in an interview, and I kept saying, “I just got done telling you no, there’s nothing to report.”

If we pick recognition over influence we’ll be known for all the wrong stuff.

No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure’s off; just go love everybody without agenda.

That’s all the information I need to know about the church, Jesus picked it. And so instead of me telling the church how she would really look better if she had this in her hair, or that over there, I think I’m just respecting the Groom’s pick.

Love God, love your neighbors, and do stuff!

We can’t always see people’s pain; they can always feel our love.

Fear will give us a reason not to try; hope will give us a reason not to listen.

See people for who they’re becoming. Not who they were.

Do what lasts, get around to everything else.

When you are in high school, you don’t give much thought to what you can’t do. For most people, that gets learned later, and for still fewer, gets unlearned for the rest of life.

I’m all for getting together with men and women in small groups around Scripture and letting it just wash over us, but for me, I’ve been meeting with the same ten guys for like 15 years now, but we don’t have a Bible study every Friday, we have a Bible doing.

We can be the light of the world without leaving our high beams on and annoying everybody.

We won’t care about the things of the world as much. As a believer, you’re just going to be countercultural.

That’s to impact the non-believer and let them know through our actions and through our music and through our shows that there is hope, there is meaning, there is purpose in this life.

If you are not going to produce albums then you are not going to produce new fans. It’s impossible.

I’m a huge believer in putting music out as quickly as early as possible.

A missional theology…appl ies to the whole of life of every believer.

Unless the church is equipping believers to embrace the values and vision of the kingdom of God and turn away from the materialism, consumerism, greed, and power of the present age.

I think we as believers can be secure in our relationship with Christ. I’m not saying that sin isn’t sin.

I’m not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I’m not saying that that’s a mark of a mature believer at all.
