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.

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

We need to make our faith our very own love story.

Living a life of following Christ means constant interruptions.

People who take huge risks aren't afraid to fail. In fact, they love to fail. It's because failing means they found the edge.

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 JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.
