That may sound a big vague, but what has struck me in city after city is that despite our differences and diversity, there's a common humanity we all share. In many ways we're all searching and longing for the same things.

The fact that we are loved and accepted and forgiven in spite of everything we have done is simply too good to be true.

If it is true, if it is beautiful, if it is honorable, if it is right, then claim it. Because it is from God. And you belong to God.

I embrace the term 'evangelical,' if by that we mean a belief that we together can actually work for change in the world, caring for the environment, extending to the poor generosity and kindness, a hopeful outlook. That's a beautiful sort of thing.

Jesus is God's way of refusing to give up his dream for the world.

I'm very comfortable in a room with thousands of people.

Something is profoundly wrong and we are desperate for justice, for restoration and for somebody somewhere to do something about this.
