Look at your ministry as a marathon not a sprint - build deep foundations of intimacy with God and never let your public schedule get fuller than your time alone with God.

Build patterns on time with God into your life when your worship leading...Never let your time leading on a public stage eclipse what’s going on with you and God behind closed doors.

I want to be a worshiper with that heart-desperate to be as close to my Savior as possible, and following his every move and step.

You don't have to choose between your faith and your sexuality. You're not alone, things will get better, and God loves you exactly the way you are.

I feel certain God loves me just the way I am, and I have a huge sense of calling to communicate that to young people. The Church's teaching was the reason that I lived in so much shame and isolation and pain for all those years. But rather than abandon it and say it's broken, I want to be part of the change.

God is Someone who creates something out of nothing. He takes emptiness and creates wholeness, He takes darkness and speaks light. Because of this, we can come to God empty and weak knowing that He takes us and with His power makes something out of nothing.

Thirty-five is half a life. I can't lose the other half. I've lost so much living as a shadow of a person.

We need to be skilled into knowing God and His Word, then act as excellent translators of these things to the people in our churches.

I love Jesus as much as I ever have. And I'm gay. Deal with it.
