Well, I affirm orthodox Christian faith. I affirm the Nicene Creed. I don't think I'm doing anything terribly new.

I think the church needs – I think this is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are.

When someone sets out to be controversial or provocative or shocking as an end in itself, I don't think that's a noble goal.

I believe that God is with you, that there is a presence. I believe this God is for you. I don't think the universe is a cold, dead place that is indifferent.

I actually think there is hell because we see hell every day.

I think what's happened in the modern world, there's a lot of people that sound very smart and it's very compelling and alluring, but it leaves you empty.

I think that grace and love always rattle people.

I think that at the core of faith is trust.
