### Quotes for outreach

1. "God desires to change how you think. God desires to change how you react. God desires to change your attitudes, your emotions, and yes, your behaviors so that it lines up with Christ. So that it lines up with how Jesus Christ lived his life. And it's an example." [03:23] (27 seconds) ( | | )

2. "We believe that the Bible teaches that every man, woman, and child, that God has a perfect purpose, and plan for their life. And when we find that, when we step into the will of God for our life, that is where we will find our most fulfillment in life. That is where we're like, man, I am like, I am hitting on all cylinders. I am loving this. Even if things are difficult, you know, you're where you're supposed to be." [06:24] (25 seconds) ( | | )

3. "When you feel unloved, God says, I love you deeply. When you feel unloved, I don't even need to ask you to raise your hand because I know that every one of you all throughout your life, there have been various times, maybe more than others, maybe some others than the rest of us. I don't even need to ask you to raise your hand. That you have felt unloved by the people around you, maybe by the very people who are supposed to love you unconditional, and you feel unloved." [22:12] (30 seconds) ( | | )

4. "When you feel undervalued, God says, I value you highly. When you feel undervalued, God says, I value you highly. think the same could probably be said of the first one, right? We probably all felt this at different times. Undervalued, unappreciated. We're working so hard. We get so little and we feel undervalued. And that expresses itself a lot of times in bitterness, a lot of times in bitterness. And so what we have to do is we've got to, when we feel that, we've got to say, no, no, no, no. God says, he values me highly." [24:56] (59 seconds) ( | | )

5. "When you feel unseen, God says, I see you always. I tell you what, this, this for some of you cuts way too close to the bone because that's how you feel all the time. You're unseen. And because you're unseen, all of these things come rolling in unloved, unworthy, uncared for all these. Because I am unseen. And so the reaction typically is one of two things. You withdraw even further or you act out to be seen. Because those are the only two options, right? But there's a third option. The third option is to believe what God actually says." [27:34] (60 seconds) ( | | )

### Quotes for members

1. "Your brain and how it processes information will determine what you believe is possible and what you see as impossible. It will give you all what you think are the available solutions.

Your brain has been trained. Your brain has been trained to believe these things." [02:16] (26 seconds) ( | | )

3. "Now, transform is not an outside in thing. It is an inside out thing. It takes root on the inside. And then it begins to work its way out into how you think, how you react, how you feel. And then finally, how you behave, how you live, how you do the things that you do." [04:45] (21 seconds) ( | | )

4. "We try to change our behavior and our actions without changing where they come from, without changing where it starts.

[05:37] (19 seconds) ( | | )

5. "The soundtrack of your mind can be renewed. When you know Jesus Christ, you have the ability to tune into a different channel.

God loves me deeply. God values me highly. God sees me always. And God planned for me carefully." [32:42] (34 seconds) ( | | )
