We are all hypocrites in transition. I am not who I want to be, but I am on the journey there, and thankfully I am not whom I used to be.
I think a lot of us are not on a path; we’re in a rut. We have confused comfort with peace, belief with faith, safety with wisdom, wealth with blessing, and existence with life.
God gives God-sized dreams to people with God-shaped hearts.

The person who loves the process has a much greater chance of success than the person who loves the outcome.
The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

The world doesn’t need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead.
If you were meant to fly, not even running really fast is that impressive.
