I encourage people in a lot of my messages that you've got to make the most of every day.

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.

Don't settle in the land of barely enough. That is where you are, it is not who you are. That's your location, it's not your identity. No matter what it looks like, have an abundant mentality.

I believe here's what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe.

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.

You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.

Don't spend all your time trying to win over your critics. Just run your own race.
