You're never going to please everyone - you might as well be who God made you to be.

Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.

Whether a person is straight or gay, Republican, Democrat, good person, not a good person, they're all welcome, because to me, church is a place you're supposed to get healed and whole and loved.

God's desire is that we excel.

Your life is too valuable to waste being distracted.

God made us for more than just barely getting by. We weren't meant to sit on the sidelines of life because with God, we are on the winning team!

I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.
