What matters in life is not so much what happens to us, but what happens in us

All leaders are learners. The moment you stop learning, you stop leading. I learn as much as I can, from as many as I can, as often as I can.

Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days - when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when your out of options, when the pain is great - and you turn to God alone.

What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me.

I really do feel that these people are brothers and sisters in God's family. I am looking to build bridges with the Orthodox Church, looking to build bridges with the Catholic Church, with the Anglican church.

History shows that when the church accommodates culture, it weakens it.

The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.
