A few favorite quotes from this episode:
"Always date your spouse. Period. Do not compromise that. If you fail to date each other, your communication will suffer."
"When we surrender our life to Jesus he does the impossible with our life."
"I think of myself first as a kingdom citizen before I'm a woman, before I'm a black woman. That's where my heart is."
"Our default has to be going back to the Lord and sitting down and asking Him, 'what would you like me to do?'"
"Sometimes the Lord calls us to something and he really doesn't reveal the why. The obedience and faithful steps of following Him is what He's calling us to."
