To be apathetic is literally to be without passion.

You are an artist. What work of art will you leave behind?

For years I have made it my mission to destroy the influence of the Christian clich, 'the safest place to be is in the center of the will of God.' God would never choose for us safety at the cost of significance. God created you so that your life would count, not so that you could count the days of your life.

When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves.

The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

The person who loves the process has a much greater chance of success than the person who loves the outcome.

As a speaker, I can inspire people to change but as a writer I can guide people to change. That's why books are so important. As a pastor, though, I can be a part of creating the change the world so desperately needs.
