I don't think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He's given you... but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things... he's not a small God; this God is incredible.

Faith is not in your head. Faith is in your heart. Sometimes you have to turn your mind off and listen to your heart.

A good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.

A lot of preachers' kids are some of the most rebellious kids in the world. I never was like that.

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.

I think sometimes the critics want me to beat people down, and that's not in me. I want to lift people up.

I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.
