“Gaining victory over fear does not mean that we can only be free from fear when something we think will be bad turns out to be okay, like my supposed blue nevus. It means we can stay brave, bold, confident, courageous, and strong in our faith in God whether a situation is a false alarm or the real thing.”

“My attitude is that whatever happens, I know God’s behind me. He’s got my back, and He is taking care of me. I know there are situations and groups of people in being a Christian is not popular, and I realize there will be times I will not be accepted into cool things because of my beliefs. I’m okay with that. As long as I am true to God and true to myself, whether or not something is cool is really not important. I have set high standards for my life, and I hope you will do the same.”
“When God says, ‘Do not fear,’ He means it. We aren’t supposed to fear anything at any time for any reason.”

“One of the most important lessons I have ever learned was expressed in the words to the song I heard each night during Winter Jam. There is power in the name of Jesus. His name has power to break every type of bondage, and praying in His name you can gain victory over fear, just like I did.”

“Many of us are acting like following God means we live a life of misery and saying no to all of the ‘fun’ things in life. Perhaps we haven’t yet realized that following Christ is the way to an abundant life—it’s the way to true joy and a great adventure! If we walk around acting as though living in a relationship with Jesus is boring and miserable, no one would want to join the migration to Him. But if we go to the world as the salt and light as Jesus calls us to, with celebration of what He has done in our lives, others will want to be part of it too.”

“Get this: in order for the plankton to glow, it has to be stepped on. It only gives off its light when pressure is applied to it. Hmm. Sort of like what God does in your life and mine. The pressures we face are not intended to hurt us or discourage us. They are designed to bring out of us the light that is in us because of our love for God and our relationship with Him. When the light comes out of us, it changes the world.”

“When you use what God has given you to do what He calls and equips you to do, it may mean boldly facing something that seems unbeatable, just as Goliath seemed undefeatable to everyone except David. You can choose to be like David, not like the crowd. Believe that God is with you, fighting for you, and leading you to the win!”
