“There are hundreds…thousands of people out there who are good at hiding in the corner. Jesus has convicted every single one of us that those are people that we need to reach as well. I think it is really easy to fly under the radar for a very long time and the craziness for probably most people who are listening to this is that you’ll encounter hundreds of people in a day possibly…Constantly my brain is thinking about how many people can fly under the radar in a day…Seek the people who are hiding in the corner.” – Steven Gamauf

“Something I noticed looking back, was that my faith wasn’t in Jesus. It was in the people that surrounded Jesus. That was a very unstable ground, obviously. In those times of really struggling with my family, and this relationship I had as a teenager, I didn’t have a stable foundation because I didn’t know Jesus. I just knew the people around Him. I collected information about Jesus. I didn’t really pray as a way to have a relationship with Him. I prayed as a way to get more information on Him and fill Him in on what is happening. It wasn’t’ a listening. It was a telling.” – Lynnie Carden

“I kind of realized that my competitive drive is sort of in things that don’t matter all that much. I think God was able to get ahold of my heart and channel it towards anything that matters. You know what, you can actually be an athlete. You can actually be competitive, and you can use all of the things that an athlete might prepare themselves for in competition or in a sport to be the very best they can be…For me, I’ve tried to take that spirit in my job and be like I might not be on the front lines because of my job description. I might not be able to be personally fulfilled by coaching all the teams, or being the counselor for all of the camps, or having that direct impact with the participant or the athlete, but I can take something like the Grace Race, that raises money for starving children, and I can take all of that competitive drive and say you know what, I think that this is something that would bring a smile to God’s face…I think that there is a lot of room to take all of the sports and athletic energy and stuff that I love but translate it to things that really matter for the gospel.” – Donny Varney

I saw that tangible expression of who Jesus was all throughout my freshman year while being at YoungLife and being involved in that community and going to camp.
