Notable Quotes from the Podcast
Christian fellowship is different than having intimate friends. Belonging to a small group is not necessarily having friends. You can hide in a small group almost as well as you can hide in a megachurch. – Gary Wilkerson
If the waterline is full, you don't need a wave. People aren't living a full waterline, they're not living in the fullness that Christ has for us, so they need another wave to crash in on them. – Gary Wilkerson
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. – James 1:6–8
I would recommend whatever element, whether it be your faith, family, friendships, food, or fun, these holistic approaches to life, if you're failing in one of them just reboot, reenergize. – Gary Wilkerson
