I like to start my day off every morning, take the first half hour and just search my own heart, see if I'm on the right course, try to be honest with myself - am I doing this for the right reasons?

I always try to put a seed of hope into people's hearts. I'm not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

I try to look on all the great things God's done, and not focus on the negative. It's a perspective.

I try to live what I teach. A lot of things come against us in life, but we should try to find something to be grateful for, and see each day as a gift.

It's better to become who God created you to be than to try to promote yourself to become something you're not.

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.

Don't use your faith to try to get rid of problems. Use your faith to remain calm in the midst of your problems.

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

So many people are looking at what's wrong, and I try to encourage them to look at what's right in their life. A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
