The often-surprising truth for many people is that we all integrate faith into our work, but most of the time we're completely unaware of what faith underlies our attitudes and responses to our work.

The Great Commission will not be fulfilled with our spare time or spare money.

Every heart without Christ is a mission field; Every heart with Christ is a missionary by vocation.

All work flows from some underlying assumptions, and the content of that faith can dramatically change our expectations for our work.

On the flip side, when we connect our work with a greater sense of purpose and calling beyond the paycheck, we begin to see the kind of flourishing that we were called to create.

Because of the gospel, God is doing a new work, and he invites us to participate in this innovative work that affects the entirety of our world.

The gospel has brought a new identity in Christ that then allows our work to no longer be the source of our identity but the rightful expression of it.

The gospel moves us to see others as people created in God's image and that can have a profound impact on people's productivity and work satisfaction.

If you think your work is ultimately about a paycheck, then that will affect the quality of your work as well as the quality of your own life.

When we try to find our sense of security, value, worth from our work, we'll find ourselves anxiety-ridden and burdened.

Faith is an indispensable part of work, whether that work is paid or unpaid.

The nature of the ego is to misuse whatever authority one has.

That was the danger. Not that betrayals happened, not that cruel things happened, but that they could outweigh all the good. That we could forget the good and only remember the bad.

Love is much like a wild rose beautiful and calm but willing to draw blood in its defense.

We must be wise taskmasters and not require of ourselves what we cannot possibly perform. Recreation we must have. Otherwise, the strings of our soul, wound up to an unnatural tension, will break.

I always love writing about children.

The best actors, I think, have a childlike quality. They have a sort of an ability to lose themselves. There's still some silliness.

Things do not happen, we must make them happen

I'm not necessarily happy being single. It's not really that cool.

In LA, you think you're making something up, but it's making you up.

Simplicity, without variety, is wholly insipid.
