On Sundays when I speak, I hopefully give somebody something that they can use the next day at work or at home.

Nothing in life has happened to you. It's happened for you. Every disappointment. Every wrong. Even every closed door has helped make you into who you are.

I'm not leading them to some false God or something like that.

You must quit looking at what you don’t have and start believing that all things are possible.

Quit worrying about what other people think and just be who God made you to be. If you will run your race, God will take care of your critics.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, 'Things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude.'

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.
