Lets choose to do something really difficult, something that saves lives, and let's do that thing with people we love.

It is when people do not allow God to show up through them ... that the world collapses in on itself.

When we think too much about the opinions of others, we are letting them edit a book God has written.

For me, the beginning of sharing my faith with people began by throwing out Christianity and embracing Christian spirituality, a nonpolitical mysterious system that can be experienced but not explained.

Dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory. Living for something is the hard thing. Living for something extends beyond fashion, glory, or recognition. We live for what we believe.

The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.

It comforts me to think that if we are created beings, the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. It would have to be greater than the facts of our reality, and so it would seem to us, looking out from within our reality that it would contradict reason. But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater than reality, or it would not be reasonable.
