QUOTES

03:14 "I think just being comfortable being the voice that is something that is mandated in the job, you have to learn that I think as a leader as well. There are a lot of people who can do that out of pride or you can do that out of humility ... being able to link all those stories and bring a voice to their history and start magnifying that is a huge part of that role."

09:02 "Recovering from physical things that have definitely taught me a lot. But becoming independent and becoming comfortable with who I was as a human at that point in my life really set the foundation and allowed me to grow in so many ways moving forward."

12:12 "There are people that have to play a role in the team, just how Christ says we're all part of the body and if one of you fails or one is weak. Then you can't be effective."

15:31 "Sometimes you have to face these traumatic buzz saws in life to recognize that ... those are the times where when you go, 'God, what do you need me to learn from this. Your will be done.' And those are the most magical moments that can happen in your life."

17:01 "Whether you're in a good season and you have to keep the faith that is not of your own, or whether you're really in a place of desperation. There is a strength that can be found when you only reach the end of your own ... and what's beyond you."

17:41 "When those red lights or those yellow lights, you look back and see them turn green, faith is what gets you there. Faith is what keeps you breathing and I'm so grateful to have that tethering me and giving me a true north."

04:09 "You can do some pretty cool things in life but, at the end of the day, I think that the core of joy really comes from being close to your family and being around people that you love."

06:13 "It's important to just keep in mind, God's going to supply us with whatever we need and it's important for us to be giving the rest back to the things that he's called us to give to. And that's going to be different for every single person."

16:50 "If I could go back to that time, I would completely have a different mindset and be extremely more grateful for the things that I had. And I try to carry that spirit now with me when things are tough or I'm a little down on myself. I try to have more of a spirit of gratitude and thankfulness for what I do have."

18:11 "Human capital is always going to trump money capital every day of the week. There are people, it doesn't matter how much money you have, there are people in the world that can open up doors for you if you build that connection with them."

36:48 "There's a difference between going down a good path and a God path. And sometimes we're in a season because God needs us to be in that season so that he can sharpen us and he can equip us and he can empower us to do what he's called us to do."
