God will give you anything as long as you understand that he is the primary and not the secondary.

I don't dislike anybody. I love everybody.

There is nothing I'm any more passionate than empowering the next generation.

My views about hell are very traditional.

I chose to present myself as one who comes from among the people, and I can be touched by their pain because I have my own.

I was looking for excellence in any color or gender it comes in. Some of my top people are African American but not all of them.

Most of what I have seen, the churches that are growing are the best are those that are nondenominational. But I don't think it's because they are nondenominational. I think that there's a certain method by which they go about reaching out to people that are not as traditional as your mainland churches generally do.
