      “The biggest lie that I hear, by far, is this sin is affecting me and me alone; it’s something I do by myself. It doesn’t affect anyone.” – Evan Vela

      “The only thing that will bring life change of a deep addiction, a breaking of a stronghold, will be running to the foot of the cross. And that sounds super spiritual, but I truly mean that because of what happened in my life.” – Shane Pruitt

      “I’ve found Scripture memory as a habit and a tool can really help a new believer or someone that’s stuck in these things renew their mind over time.” – Paul Worcester
