Lies are a little fortress; inside them, you can feel safe and powerful. Through your little fortress of lies you try to run your life and manipulate others. But the fortress needs walls, so you build some. There are the justifications for your lies. You know, like you are doing this to protect someone you love, to keep them from feeling pain. Whatever works, just so you feel okay bout the lies.

Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.

— William Paul Young

Mack, don't you see how filling roles is the opposite of relationship? We want male and female to be counterparts, face-to-face equals, each unique and different, distinctive in gender but complementary, and each empowered uniquely by Sarah from whom all true power and authority originates.

Mackenzie, the truth shall set you free, and the truth has a name; he's over in the wood shop right now covered in sawdust. Everything is about him. And freedom is a process that happens inside a relationship with him. Then all that stuff you feel churnin' around inside will start to work its way out.

Nan is the mortar that holds the tiles of their family together.

Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself- to serve.

— William Paul Young

Religion is about having the right answers, and some of their answers are right... but I am about the process that takes you to the living answer... it will change you from the inside. There are a lot of smart people who are able to say a lot of right things from their brain because they have been told what the right answers are, but they don't know me at all.

— William Paul Young

Remember, that choosing to stay on the ground is a choice to facilitate a relationship, to honor it. You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself to facilitate and honor that relationship... It is not about winning and losing, but about love and respect.
