"I've been born again almost 20 years and only now is the holy spirit dropping this wisdom on me. I'm getting a lump in my throat ... it's powerful."

"It’s such a great time to just really slow down and be super intentional about what I’m doing. It’s not about the bigger, better thing. It’s about the smaller thing, the thing that’s inside of me."
