• "We're dealing with an anxious generation. To be aware of it is important, but also to help them navigate what they are truly feeling is really important."
• "Reminding them that they're not alone is one of the most important things [...] There is a God that is truly with them."
• "When we say the phrase 'you can rest' and 'you can trust,' my hope is that, to these kids, it is a reminder that they're not alone, that God is with them, and that He does have a plan."
• "The Lord is my shepherd, I have what I need." Psalm 23:1
• "Thankfully, we have the story, we have Scripture in front of us. So, we know where this thing is headed, we know how the story ends. But, that takes a daily kind of surrender to self and a daily reminder that God is good, that God is with us [...] He's in control, and you're not alone."
