“Everything we need to go through suffering is on the inside of us. Suffering has no power against the Spirit of God.”
“Our kingdom dreams should fail without the Holy Spirit, and if they succeed without Him, they weren’t Kingdom dreams to begin with.”
“Our callings don’t guarantee the absence of shipwrecks, and similarly shipwrecks don’t negate the presence of our calling. The test is can we hold fast in the midst of it.”
“A conversion moment is not your only testimony. You can testify to his glory, grace, and mercy everyday”
“Your calling doesn’t just give you future purpose, it also gives you current wisdom.”
“Shared suffering produces intimacy with God. And we, as a community of missionaries, we need to learn to suffer well. Why? Because there is purpose to your pain.”
“God’s will is not the most safe or comfortable place for you, but it’s the place of the most joy.”
“Will you persevere and embrace the right kinds of conflict and allow the kingdom of God to threaten worldly idols.”
