“We can’t force revival to happen, but we can sure posture ourselves in case the Lord chooses us to do it. And when we say revival, this is what we mean. We don’t mean necessarily crying or emotionalism or Holy Spirit goosebumps.” – Shane Pruitt
“My heart is just to encourage and tell stories and see how low we can go with Jesus. He’s inviting us to descend into humility, and the lower we’ll go, the more He’ll fill up, the higher He will go.” – Zach Meerkreebs
“If your ambition is to advance the gospel among the lost, it’s almost impossible to have too much ambition there because our heart is for the mission field that God has called us to. It’s not about us, it’s about these people” – Paul Worcester
