Love one another. We don't need more instructions; we need more examples.

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

Don't let not knowing how it'll end keep you from beginning. Uncertainty chases us out into the open where God is waiting.

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.

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.

Surround yourself with prompts that remind you who Jesus is.

I don't think anyone aims to be typical, really. Most people even vow to themselves some time in high school or college not to be typical. But still, they just kind of loop back to it somehow. Like the circular rails of a train at an amusement park, the scripts we know offer a brand of security, of predictability, of safety for us. But the problem is, they only take us where we've already been. They loop us back to places where everyone can easily go, not necessarily where we were made to go. Living a different kind of life takes some guts and grit and a new way of seeing things.
