“``And it breaks God's heart. Some of you who have children who don't speak to each other know what I'm talking about. How your heart breaks. How you'd do anything to get them together, wouldn't you? You'd do anything. And he has given us his spirit of reconciliation. And I and I wonder if we were to start doing this, if we were to just try in little ways, just try to say, God, search me. If we would be the people who would get on our knees a little bit and just say, God, would you just help me be the person who restores? Can I be someone who restores? Would I be willing to do this? If we wouldn't able to be bring healing to thousands and thousands of people. Man, I've only been here three years, but I can already list people that I know that I've hurt, that I've reached out to. And I would love to make those things right.”

“Cursed is the man or woman who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength. Now I used to read it like this, cursed is the man who trusts in mankind. Yeah, cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and governments and the world and all those other people. But I actually think it's cursed is the man who trusts in himself, in his own thoughts. And you could read it too, cursed is the man God curses them. That's almost like curses. He curses himself. He breaks himself. He's fooled himself. He's trusted in his own strength and he is reaping his own rewards. We are darkened in our understanding despite ourselves.”

“This is talking about the fact when the heat comes, when the heat comes in your conversation, when the heat comes in your marriage, when the heat comes at work and everyone's losing their dang mind, you will be the anchor. Why? Because your roots are in a stream. They're in truth. And because you've allowed God to search your heart and your truth is I know who I am, You can't make me upset and I'm not even, like, arrogant about it. I just know who I am. I know who I am. It's okay. And I can invite you into that, into that shade, into that place.”

“Fix yourself first because you're, man, you're terrible. You're not even good. How could you possibly do that? No, no, no. I actually think about it this way. You can't possibly take the speck out of your brother's eye because you've got a plank in yours. So you try to get close enough to someone to take out the speck, you're gonna poke their eyeball out while you're trying to do it. There's actually a lot of truth to this. What if you are so unaware of your own issues that when you try to correct someone else, you actually do them harm? Could it be that church hurt comes from that?”
