“Don't get tricked into trusting your spiritual bells and whistles or you might become too slick, lose your edge, then lose it.”

“Your greatest ministry innovation could come from your greatest limitation - if you have a sincere passion to reach and care for people.”

“With-it ministries are filled with people so passionate, they're driven to become innovative. They create opportunities.”

“Without-it ministries can be filled with very sincere Bible-believing Christians; unfortunately, they're simply more concerned about themselves than the lost.”

“Across the board, almost every with-it church I've observed is virtually obsessed with reaching those who don't know Christ.”

“As you seek God and he rekindles it in your heart, I believe he is going to speak to you.”
