• There is a tradition that the church represents, without which we wouldn't have the church, that's all about diving deep beneath the surface of the culture and finding those timeless, eternal truths that the whole Christian enterprise is rooted in.

• If my life is any example, the work that youth workers are doing is very, very important. It tends to get marginalized in the church or seen as less important than being a senior minister in a large, prosperous congregation; but I don't believe that for a minute. I think this is absolutely critical work in the life of the church; and I think my path in life would have been much different if it hadn't been for my youth minister, Burt Randle, and a series of campus ministers in both college and graduate school.

• Estoy muy, muy incómodo con las iglesias que básicamente han dicho: "Bueno, ya que eso es lo que la gente quiere y eso es lo que vende, entonces vamos a hacer nuestros servicios de culto como producciones de Hollywood. Vamos a tener un montón de campanas y silbatos. Vamos a tener un alto valor de entretenimiento, y va a tener mucho brillo y resplandor".
