God is in the résumé-building business. He is always using past experiences to prepare us for future opportunities.

I think faith is the small mustard seed of opportunities every day. For example, 'Am I going to love this person? Am I going to share my faith with this person? Am I going to pray that little prayer?' It really is a daily thing where you seize those little mustard seed opportunities and then see what God does.

In my experience, it’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one. Anyone can put on an act. But your reactions reveal what is really in your heart.

New media is like a megaphone. It amplifies your ability to reach more people.

What sets lion chasers apart isn’t the outcome. It’s the courage to chase God-sized dreams.

I think a pastor used to be viewed as the one-stop ministry shop. The pastor served on every committee, volunteered at every event, and made all the hospital visits. I think that is changing and I think that is healthy. Both for the pastor and the congregation.

Whatever you don't turn into PRAISE turns into PRIDE.
