QUOTABLES:

“To be the best leader you can be, it takes a lot of sacrifice [and] a lot of denial for you to be the leader that God is calling you to be. And so, when we have those big challenges, big responsibility, then it calls for us to pray more.” — Rev. Kenneth Johnson

“Thriving means making a sacrifice. Because to me, you can’t be going to a lot of places at the same time, or at different times, you [have] to have a focus. When you thrive, you own something — put your focus there, your commitment, and dedicate it to it to be the best person that you can be.”  — Rev. Kenneth Johnson
