“When calling for authenticity, we need to take seriously the brokenness and sinfulness of the human heart. If to be authentic means to be who we really are or to express what we really feel, then in most cases I’m going to vote for hypocrisy. Our prisons are filled with men and women who acted on their feelings and impulses. If authenticity is about being true to yourself, these individuals should be our models of inspiration.”

“The first and most important step in the process of becoming genuinely is to be once again authenticated by the original designer.”

“We are all time voyagers leaving history in our wake, pioneering into the future.”

“Home is ultimately not about a place to live but about the people with whom you are most fully alive. Home is about love, relationship, community, and belonging, and we are all searching for home.”

“Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.”

“The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves when we connect to others.

We lose ourselves...Who we understand ourselves to be is dramatically affected for better or worse by those we hold closest to us.”

“It is not balance you need but adaptability.”
