One thing I do is (and I realize this might sound nuts), every month or so, I try to take like an Etch-a-sketch [so to speak], and I clear my faith. I go to zero, clear the deck. And I start adding things back to my faith, one at a time. What would be the first thing I'd add back? Jesus. It sounds a little bit like a Sunday school answer, but that's what I do. Then what's the next thing? And I'd say, well, loving people. And then the next.

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 save up love like you're trying to retire on it; give it away like you're made of it.

We won't figure out what's sacred in life if we settle for what's safe.

Sometimes the things we think are the impediments are actually the path.

Does the church have all kinds of problems? You bet, because it's made up of people like me, so I get that part too. But all I need to know about the church is that Jesus picked her.

God isn't afraid of our doubts; He's way more concerned when we fake it.
