You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and goddamn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about your business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way

Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.

When God stirs our spirit or breaks our heart, we cannot sit back. We've got to step up and step in. We've got to go all in by going all out. But if we have the courage to make the choice or take the risk, it will become the defining moment of our lives.

Ryan-chasers have a life wish. They live life to the fullest because they are willing to look foolish.

When you look back on your life, the greatest moments will be the moments when you went all in.

Goodness is not the absence of badness. You can do nothing wrong and still do nothing right. Those who simply run away from sin are half-Christians. Our calling is much higher than simply running away from what's wrong. We're called to chase lions.

If you want to see God move, make a move.

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may.

Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.

I'm fearless, I don't complain. Even when horrible things happen to me, I go on.

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
