Friends are friends forever. If the Lord's the Lord of them, a friend will not say never 'cause the welcome will not end. Although it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know, a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

So I'm taking a stand-and I hope others will-to really live what I believe and embrace who I am in Jesus Christ.

I think it all comes down to relationships - how I treat my wife, how I treat my kids, how I treat the guys at the grocery store, all aspects of every day, what I'm involved in.

I think if Jesus came for the first time, and he was 33 1/2 years old and hung out with these guys, where would he be? They'd probably be at a coffee bar getting a latte or something.

I think there's a passion for God like never before

Things change when you give your life to serving God, and that can be scary.

It's really interesting to go back to '93 or '94 and listen to that music, like the I'll Lead You Home record
