Bryce: "We call ourselves human being, but yet, most of us are just human doing. And so, when we take a step back and be that individual that we are called to be, for me, I'm an evangelist for our organizations, for our companies, for my nonprofit that I have, for my family, for my church and faith, I am a consummate evangelist."

Bryce: "In 2006, had a son of my wife, we were in an open relationship at the time, ended up being killed due to negligent medical homicide. And all I knew how to deal with, coping with things like that was to work harder and do more. The human doing versus the human being."

"So I did more, I do more, I do more, do more work, do more contracts, do more consulting, and I wasn't there for my wife. And by Friday, June 13th, 2008, I'll never forget I was on my way home from an event I was speaking at, and I get a call that she had taken her life. And over the next 18 months, my life would spiral out of control."

Bryce: "My God, he's a gangster, you look in the book of Mark and he kicked over the change tables and cussed out the priest at the temple because they were defiling His house. My God is kind of a badass. But that's I need to be talked to and that's how he talks to me and how I talk to Him."

Rebecca: "If I started chasing a dream that wasn't meant for me, if it was a job or it was sort of educational path, it does create a lot of misery because sometimes the lock in what we're meant to do in life, you have to have that frictionless sort of surrender."

Rebecca: "In my own life, I would think back on that and I would think about how that makes us a better person, and how it makes life richer because it's not really the length of your life, it's how much you enjoy each day."

Rebecca: "I think another cause of misery is sometimes comparing ourselves to other people or what we think is the ideal family, because who hasn't thought that?"

Chuck: "My prayer was something that, if I knew how it was going to turn out, maybe I wouldn't have prayed that, but I always prayed use me how you want to use me. Well, guess what, I didn't become an astronaut. I didn't blow up in Challenger or Columbia, and I have though led a very interesting and blessed life."

Chuck: "I'm convinced that Jesus made grape juice. That's what oinos means, unless there's some context that means it has to be fermented grape juice."

Charisse: "It was the passion behind the words. It was this thought of dreaming of a world and something in my little heart and little mind, could relate to that and resonated with okay, I can be someone that can make a difference someday."

Charisse: "We don't do life alone. Dreams are not accomplished by yourself, but require a community of people that can encourage you and support you and when you feel like the passion is depleting, to keep you going."

Charisse: "Allow God to show you the multifacetedness of you, of who you are, the gifts that you have, the way that you show up in your family, the way that you show up in your work, the way you show up in your community, and in the world."

Charles: "I went septic and I was septic for over 40 hours, and I should've died. They put me on a drug-induced coma in which I had an out-of-body experience and I looked down on my own body. And I remember it. I looked down and there was some people praying for me around my bedside."

Charles: "We should've practiced our tire changes a little bit more but it took us about 15 minutes and people are running all around. And Chad, while we're there, a Marine convoy goes past us and a mile down the road, their front vehicle gets bitten half by a roadside bomb. They lose all the guys in their front vehicle."

Charles: "It's the best ride you'll ever have is riding the wave of the Lord. You'll do everything in your life that doesn't make sense, but you'll do it because that's where you're supposed to be. And it's an exhilarating ride. The Lord's wave is funner than any other wave."

Jarvis: "My mom, she would give me $20 a week. That was my commissary. $20 is a lot of money in prison. I was eating. I was eating very well. But each of my bunkies and and my roommates, they were poor. They had nobody writing them letters, they would get no mail, no commissary, and that's really turned my heart seeing how fortunate I was."

Jarvis: "Going to prison, I got my vision. So a vision keeps you disciplined. That's the short version. The Bible says that people perish because of lack of vision, a lack of knowledge, so I stepped into that, which is so amazing."

Billie: "I thought I was only supposed to smoke a joint in my life. Now I'm literally having that stuff going on in my veins that was a huge speed bump, but at the same time it got so horrible that I couldn't even stop."

Billie: "I have to live faith by faith. Everything has to be through faith. Without faith, I wouldn't be here today. I would literally be dead. Faith plays the biggest part of my whole entire life."

Billie: "That $5, even that $1 to help somebody could miraculously change him from the inside to show them that somebody cares for them. I would pool off to the side of the road, I would say the Holy Spirit led me to you, so they know that wow, even Jesus still loves little old me."

Lashondra: "The first vision I could remember, I was walking down an aisle at a church... And, when I got up to the front, people then believed God was real. I could feel it. And when I got up to the front at the altar, He lifted me up and everybody started believing that God was real."

Lashondra: "Children, they're sponges. And we all matter, that you matter. We all have a job to do on this Earth. And so, if God put it in your heart to become a foster parent, then do that, please. If he put it in your heart to adopt, then do that. But don't it for any other reason."

Lashondra: "We've given you all the tools in the first two pillars for you to understand what wealth means. And then, we do the community reinvestment, that's where we are buying properties, helping our clients become owners in our properties, and helping our clients become members, real members, of a neighborhood or a society."

Rachel: "I said God, I don't care if I have to dedicate the rest of my life to taking of my son. I will. Just don't take him away from me. And, at that moment, the Holy Spirit, I heard it loud and clear, he's mine. He's mine. I gave him to you, nobody's going to take him away from you."

Rachel: "How can I feel joy at this moment? But seeing all the people that surrounded me and who just loved me unconditionally, who never questioned my character, I felt so loved... nobody questioned my character."
