FEATURED QUOTES

“We are not meant to do this on our own. God gives us tools. God gives us people. And we need to utilize those.”

“You are not the problem, but you are your solution. And that only happens by us getting stronger.”

“Until we fix ourselves, there’s, there’s really no way around it, there’s no way of getting over it… The only way to get over it is by getting through it to get to the other side.”

“No one is going to fix you. No one is going to complete you. You know, I think that sometimes when we think of equally yoked, we think of ourselves as only 50%. And that then our other 50% will be this person that comes in like saves our lives, right? Well, there’s only one that does that. That’s Jesus.”
