I don’t speak on other people’s hardship, but if it happened in my life or something that has been an experience on my particular journey, I’m going to talk about it.

David GogginsThere’s something about being in front of a live audience that’s fun. It’s a really interesting, very electric, very alive, and intense experience, and you can’t get it anywhere else. And I’ve been doing it since I was 23, so it’s part of my being – it’s part of my fabric as a person.
Steven WrightEvery time you think the problem is ‚out there,‘ that very thought is the problem.

But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God’s will.
