Don't live worried, frustrated or upset because of what somebody did or what didn't work out. Come back to a place of peace. It's not going to work against you; it's going to work for you.

I'm not a big believer in trying to jam stuff down somebody's throat: 'You're going to do it my way.' I'd rather show by example and live my life and have people say, 'You know what, I want to live like Joel has. He's got peace and joy, and he seems content.'

You may have made a lot of wrong choices, but you’ve also made a lot of choices that were right. Focus on your good qualities. Focus on your victories. Get off the treadmill of guilt.

I'm trying to make God more relevant in our society.

God's got you in the palm of His hand. You won't leave one second before your time. If God wants you to be here, then you're going to be here.

I don't argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus' message was simple.

You need to take pride in what God has given you.
