“My reading of American religious history is that religion always functions best from the margins of society and not in the councils of power. Once you identify the faith with a particular candidate or party or with the quest for political influence, ultimately it is the faith that suffers. Compromise may work in politics. It's less appropriate to the realm of faith and belief.”

“I don’t settle. Or more accurately, I can’t. To settle is to abandon great things to the death of smaller things. It is to desert what could have been for what never should have been. To settle is to bargain away the wildly rich abilities of our humanity in a ruinous trade-off for a lackluster existence. Settling is to declare an indefensible surrender to the evils of mediocrity at the expense of God’s resplendent and wholly viable vision for this existence of ours. No, I don’t settle because I can’t. And the fact is, neither can you. Therefore, I would suggest that you begin settling your life squarely on the reality that settling is far too unsettling to settle for.”

“I think it's hard for people to understand what I mean when I say "I'm a guy's guy." I am in one way "becoming" a man and in another way I have always been one and I'm trying out all the ways to understand how I want to live that out, good and bad. Becoming a white man visibly is like a newly found superpower-like when Spider-Man suddenly realizes he can scale the sides of buildings but doesn't quite know how to control his own power and smashes up against a concrete wall on his first several attempts. He flails until he eventually knows how to use his power for good.”
