It's almost is like God, in our case, gave us a shot of anesthesia, you know, to your body and to your heart in a way, that you can survive. That you're - there's enough of a numbness, you're very much alive and very aware of eternity, I mean, Heaven and the real world there. I talk a lot about how Heaven's never been more clear to me. I've never been more sure that we are made for eternity.

The stories that have had the deepest impact on me and one of the reasons I was excited to finally get to write my story, it's when I can read the story of others who are following Christ, who are committed, but just are still on the journey. They haven't arrived, and can be honest about that process.

I don't see the big picture. I don't have a clue. But I know God does. I'm going to declare that, even if I don't feel it right now.

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.

There’s a day that is coming when all the last will be first and every orphan will be home.

I enjoy being on stage with other artists. I have a chance to watch and see people responding to the other artists songs. I get to see how people are affected by the music.

I think we all want to know that if our lives don't turn out the way we imagine, there's still a purpose.
