Quotes:

“There are mornings and days I just go, ‘Lord, what is going on? And how do I serve you and be faithful? How do I be a bridge builder in DC during these very challenging times?’” -Eugene Cho

“This is why we have a podcast like this to kind of remind people and to nudge people and to help people realign with some of the most important things. We can get caught up in all the partisanship arguments throughout this pandemic but miss what God is trying to show us or what God is trying to do through us in the midst of that.” -Latasha Morrison

“The reality is, the person who tries to do everything will do nothing well. We're not built to do everything. We just don't have the energy, the capacity, and I think our impact will be really minimal.” -Eugene Cho

‘There's just so much going on around us. And so sometimes you got to breathe, you got to really absorb the gifts of Sabbath and listening and meditating. And then ask God, "Lord, help me to keep on being present, being persistent, being prayerful, being pastoral, being prophetic. And do it all for your glory." -Eugene Cho

“Here's the most simple reason why I believe politics matter:  politics influences policies that ultimately impact people.” -Eugene Cho
