The faith of the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the church; neither yet my faith.

I've been speaking at churches for years, as well as juvenile jails, rehabs and hospitals, and I always talk about my faith. That is a declaration of my relationship with God.

I think in church you're raised like God is God and you are here.

My faith isn't very churchy, it's a pretty personal, intimate thing and has been a huge source of strength in moments of life and death.

I always felt God had called me to serve within the church because of what the church stands for. This has always been home.

The Lord called me to plant a church.

Honestly, what keeps me grounded is my faith and my value system.

I cannot fail to call the congregation to worship God, to listen to his Word, to offer themselves to God.

I'm not only a Christian, but I'm a pastor of a church.
