“True, sincere love for others can break down any walls. You don’t have to agree with the way people live to love them.”
“I’m realizing that the harder I push and the more I lead, the more their lives are changed. If I wimp out, they will, too.”
"Once we have prayed and know the mind of Christ, we need to stop talking about what we want to do and just go do it.”
“I let the congregation know constantly that they are loved. They get ‘beaten up’ in the world; they don’t need it from the pulpit.”

"Just as I did not choose my blood family, I did not decide who would come into this space of grace and peace through Christ."
"Unfortunately, ministry can give rise to narcissism. We are often in the limelight and get kudos from others that feed our egos."
“I wouldn’t say an unhurried leader gets more stuff done, just better stuff done.”
“My sabbatical allowed me to see that the church belongs to God, not me.”
“The quest for status is not a fuel for a lifetime of ministry.”
