BEST QUOTES “The Lord’s not done with you until He’s done with you.” “When I hear about everything you’ve been through in your life, I realize God has saved you from this and now He has uniquely gifted you to carry out the Great Commission.” “God was in the middle of all of it preparing us to take the gospel and speak and communicate it in the terms of this generation through visual media.” “The cross is the perfect picture of His mercy, but also His wrath.” “We have to set the tone for attitude, work ethic, and unity.” “As a leader, better to go down path B in unity to accomplish your goal, than to stay on path A and fight all the time.” “In the busyness of the work day, we should never neglect loving on one another in the process.” “We are not going to grow unless we sometimes have people step into our lives and tell us the truth.” “God wants to bless the work of my hands, but I have to stay right before Him.” “I have to set God-honoring parameters for my kids where they know that ultimately in our home we want to please the Lord.” “God’s call should be the engine, ambition should help you pursue God’s call.” “The journey has just begun when you give your life to Christ.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network Kendrick Brothers Overcomer Facing the Giants Courageous Fireproof War Room The Love Dare by Alex and Stephen Kendrick Ephesians by Tony Merida Experiencing the Father’s Love by Os Hillman Forgotten God by Francis Chan This Episode’s Sponsor: The Overcomer movie has inspired the creation of several resources.
