### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Stop thinking God that when you received this message from us, you didn't think of our words as mere human ideas. In other words, you knew the Holy Spirit in you, let you know that he's going to change your life. We're just telling you that he's changed our lives and he can change your life. And we're going to partner with you to help other people experience this transformation, this life change that only comes from Jesus." [01:09:11]
2. "So you just knew that, that's what he says. You knew that when we're bringing you the right message because it changed your life. If you're looking at me as one of your pastors, or do you look at anybody else, as somebody else, someone who's going to change your life, then you have become dependent on them. Trust me, remember your own humanity. Unless you think too highly of yourself, remember you. You know the putz that's in there. Do you know what I'm saying? Like you know that man or that woman that's there that you try to sometimes dress up, you try to fix, you try to correct, you know what I mean?" [01:09:51]
3. "So remember, everyone else is the exact same way. Desperate. for Jesus. Never look at another human being and say, they've got it. They do not have it. They do not have it. They're a mess. Are you a mess? Yes. They are too. Don't look at the outside. Remember, where God is like, I'm going to choose my next king, and well, here's all the guys. No, that's not the one. What about him? That's David. He's a nobody. God's like, yeah, that's your problem. You look at the outside. I'll look at the inside." [01:10:15]
4. "When I was in the Philippines, God gave me this phrase, and I've shared it before over the years here, but if you haven't heard it before, I just, I had to write it down as fast as I could. So Mark and Lisa have been in the Philippines. It's just such a beautiful people, beautiful place. And they love Jesus, and they don't have very much, but they're amazing. And I just was looking out, and trying to understand my own purpose. I was having one of those moments that I was sharing with you guys earlier, where I was like, because I was leaving, some stuff was going on at my church, that I was gonna be coming home and not have a church." [01:06:06]
5. "So I'm in the Philippines, knowing that when I get home, I don't have, okay, you can ask me about that later, but I just was broken. And I was like, what's the, I don't understand. So I'm preaching at a pastor's conference, feeling like the biggest loser, like I have no credibility. Why am I even here? Send me home. You know that kind of feeling? And the Lord just revealed something huge to me, and I had to write it down real fast. And it was two separate things. The first one was that my purpose was to do whatever, it's by all means necessary, to bring the way, the truth, and the life to all who are wayward, misled, and dying." [01:06:40]

And so, for us to remember, that's all it looks like. as missionaries, that we need to be with each other to encourage each other, that iron sharpening iron, because what we're really doing is we're pointing people to Jesus. This is who fixes us. This is who helps us. This is who changes our lives. This is who gives us encouragement and hope when we feel like we're utter failures. This is the one. But not you and me. We are not the cure." [01:10:15]
3. "In fact, you can't fix anything. You know this? You can't fix anything. At best, you can rig it. You know what I mean? Where it's all like this, that, and it's all like, yep, it looks good because I'm telling you right now with enough duct tape and bailing wire, you already know. I'm like, I'm a guy for bro. I can do anything. I can do anything. Now, someone came in and said, is that up to code? I'm like, oh, I don't know code. I just know that currently, if you don't touch it, it's standing. So we should be fine. And that's how most Christians live their lives is it's fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. How are you feeling? Don't ask me stupid questions. I'm fine. I'm good. Don't touch me. Don't talk to me. My face hurts from smiling and pretending everything is okay." [01:11:37]
