“I want to make things that the church can use to edify saints, help them in their walk with God, and serve one another.”

One of his favorite verses is Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”
