The real measure of our power is the freedom and opportunity we create for others.

Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the absence of self.

The future belongs to those who have the courage to create it. We need a new humanity. We need a new expression of community. We need the Church to bring the world together. This makes me excited.

We were created to be expressions of the goodness and wholeness of God.

We can’t change history, but we can create the future.

Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning.

Great dreams require great courage.
