Memorable Quotes
============
"A man who doesn't have something more important than himself in his life will never be a whole man. The warrior isn't a warrior on the battlefield just for himself—he is representing something greater than himself."

"Cancel culture only works if you consent to it. People consent to cancel culture through the bond of fear, but it cannot take away what really matters—your principles, your relationship to God, your mission, and the values you stand for."

"It unlocks a death to the old self and a birthing of a new self. Especially as a father, you’re sacrificing, you’re no longer feeding your old sense of self. That old sense of self gradually dies, and it’s a great thing—painful at times, but truly fulfilling."
