BEST QUOTES “I wrote it as an act of obedience, not fully convinced that anybody would read it.” “It was really a book for me walking through the process and realization – a painful one – that I had traded sanctification for self-help.” “To some extent I thought sanctification was about doing better and missed that the call is actually for us to be better.” “One of my goals for 2019 is to read more from people who are not my contemporaries.” “There is no excuse for a person breathing millennial air to not know and understand God’s Word.” “God’s Word is so pregnant that He can do a lot with a little.” “There is something about appreciating what it is to read God’s Word for its truth rather than my personal application.” “There is embracing who I am and then there is embracing God’s call on my life.” “There is a level of discernment of ‘who do I trust to help me make those good and wise decisions?'” “The most important lesson we hope you learn from us doing ministry is that you are not the center of our world.” “I don’t think it is possible to miss God’s call on your life if the daily prayer of your life is, “I’ll say yes to today.'” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network WhitneyCapps.com Bible Study: We Over Me  Sick of Me: From Transparency to Transformation by Whitney Capps Proverbs 31 Ministries Augustine’s Confessions by St. Augustine First 5 App Warren Wiersbe Be Series Ask Me Anything Podcast with J.D.
