God often uses us at our point of greatest incompetence.

the reason many of us get stuck in the six cages—the cage of responsibility, the cage of routine, the cage of assumptions, the cage of guilt, the cage of failure, and the cage of fear—is for one simple reason: We want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.

I want to go after dreams that are destined to fail without diving intervention.

If you really want to get good at anything, you've got to work at it for ten thousand hours.

You can either avoid making mistakes and play not to lose, or you can make the most of every opportunity and play to win.

Do the best you can with what you have where you are. Success is not circumstantial. We usually focus on what we're doing or where we're going, but God's primary concern is who we're becoming in the process. We talk about "doing" the will of God, but the will of God has much more to do with "being."

You are one habit away from getting into shape. You are one habit away from financial freedom. You are one habit away from mental health. You are one habit away from a happy, healthy marriage. You are one habit away from any goal you set. The only catch? It has to be a daily habit!

Part of discovering the adventure God has designed you for is learning how to frame it or reframe it.

One of two things happens over time. Either your theology will conform to your reality, and your expectations will get smaller and smaller until you can hardly believe God for anything. Or your reality will conform to your theology, and your expectations will get bigger and bigger until you can believe God for absolutely everything!

When you see life as an adventure, your hopes and dreams are never more than a day away!

Are your problems bigger than God, or is God bigger than your problems?

Remind them that their failures don't define who they are!
