I think the word rich is all relative.
At times we're going to get angry. Anger is an emotion God built into us. But we don't have to blow up and say hurtful things that are going to damage our relationships. Learn to take a step back, collect your thoughts, and think about what you want to say.
You can become all God created you to be even if you've had difficulties, even if you weren't born into a good, loving family, God still has a plan for your life.
I believe God will fight my battles for me.
My core message is that God has got a good plan for your lives, and we must trust Him, and let go of the past. That's my main message.
The main message of it is to not get stagnant and that God wants us to continue to grow and become a better person.
If you don't set the tone for the day, the devil will set it for you.
That's it. I'm going to start making the right choices.
I don't have all the answers.
A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.
We're going to bring our core message of hope and how God is a good God who's on our side.
That's my thing - keep filled with faith. Keep doing what you can do and I believe God will do what you can't do.
If Jesus were here today, he wouldn't be riding around on a donkey. He'd be taking a plane, he'd be using the media.
