All the evidence you need to prove God is waiting within you to be discovered.

It is not balance you need but adaptability.

We need both to aspire and accomplish. Without a vision for your life, without a sense of purpose, you will begin to die a slow death.

The church is not here to meet our needs. We are the church here to meet the needs of the world.

The world doesn't need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead.

You need to remember who God is, forget the painful wounds and let Him renew you.

We focus, in some ways, on how to disengage Jesus and the Bible from everything people know about Christianity as a religion.

Promise Keepers was looking for a movement that can actualize the hope of Jesus, the hope that we see. And 'Uprising' was what they were looking for.

People outside of the faith really appreciate Mosaic and really love what we're doing.

Our job is not to change people; our job is to connect people to Jesus, and it's Jesus' job to change people.
