"I really realized that church wasn't about what I could get out of it as much as what I could give."
"If we go to church and start looking around and at other people and stop worrying about ourselves and our own righteousness, our own reputation, our own standing... that's the real purpose of church."
"It doesn't have to be about me... I really hadn't stepped back to think, well, what can I do for others?"
"It is incredibly stretching and difficult to be in community with people that you totally disagree with."
"It's not about changing someone's mind all the time, but trying to understand them and trying to just see them and see what they're about."
