-"I've been a Christian since I was 5 and have been to Christian schools and youth group all my life. But there were many times when I was growing up that my Christian friends went to a movie or a praty I felt convicted about. And wanted to feel convicted! Its when we become desensitized to our surroundings that we're in trouble. So I prayed that my heart would be grieved by the things that grieved God's heart. And you know what? This made me very sensitive to what was right. It only takes a few times of being honest with your friends about why you can't do certain things, and if they're really your friends, they won't continue to pressure you. But be prepared to stand alone, because if you choose to be extraordinary, you may be the only one in your circle of friends who chooses to take a stand."

-"To lead teens to Biblical solutions to serious issues of life: druf abouse, self-esteem, and the importance of making right decisions."
-"We found that identity by looking into the eyes of tennager after teenager and hearing about what they were realing to and what were stuggling with. Out songs have been greatly inspired by the people we've met."
-"I'd walk by her (referring to Joy Williams) bunk and there she would be reading her Bible! She's always reading her Bible! I mean, we read our Bibles too...."
