The Emmy-winning broadcaster shares his favorite inspiring quote, the best advice he’s ever received and the hardest thing he’s ever done.
Prayer
Spring Clean Your Spirit
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.—Psalm 51:7 (NIV)
His Peace in Your Heart
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.—I Peter 4:7 (NIV)
Wait in Faith
Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.—Psalm 37:7 (NIV)
Listen for God’s Voice
So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.—1 Samuel 3:9 (NIV)
The Role of Failure
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.—Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)
Pray for God’s Guidance
Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.—Psalm 25:4 (NIV)
Stir Up Your Gifts
This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.—2 Timothy 1:6 (NLT)
Go the Right Way
If you go the wrong way—to the right or to the left—you will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the right way. You should go this way.”—Isaiah 30:21 (NCV)
Let the Lord Renew Your Mind
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)
Feel God’s Joy
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.—Philippians 4:4, 6 (NLT)
Be Present-Minded
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 3:13–14 (NIV)
