Rick Warren
Image
Great leaders genuinely care for and love the people they lead more than they love leading itself.
Rick Warren
Image
Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days - when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when your out of options, when the pain is great - and you turn to God alone.
Rick Warren
Image
Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren
Image

Rick Warren
Image

Rick Warren
Image
When God wants to make a mushroom, he does it overnight, but when He wants to make a giant oak, He takes a hundred years. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.
Rick Warren
