When we're in the storm we learn more about the character of the God we serve than when we're on the mountaintop.

I say all the time that if you really want to feel alive, it's not through striving for yourself. If you really want to feel alive, it's not through trying to get more things or get more success or climbing a corporate ladder or getting to the top. Because, once you get there, you realize that you don't really find happiness in that. If you want to feel alive and if you want to feel peace and happiness, give your life away. Do something that is outside of yourself for someone else. I think that's the way to truly feel alive.

I was a bit of a tomboy, so I played softball and basketball. Then I was also a cheerleader. And I played flute too.

There's no such thing as perfect people. There's no such thing as a perfect life. So come as you are, broken and scarred. Lift up your heart and be amazed and be changed by a perfect God.

When we live the love of the Gospel out loud, a revolution will occur.

But I'll say this: I've never been more honored to sing about Jesus and for Jesus. And I've never been more sure of the path I've chosen.

I will stumble, I will fall down, but I will not be moved; I will make mistakes, I will face heartache, but I will not be moved.
