I get scared to death when I see people who say they’ve found Jesus Christ, and they’re out there, and I wonder, who’s teaching them? Who’s mentoring them?

I spent six years in Bible study because I needed to get grounded. People really need to spend time in the Bible getting to know the God they claim to love.

They did interviews with my wife and daughter-they were genuinely in fear of me having a heart attack, working 20 hours a day, eating fast food.

We’re seeing how the videos translate to the live shows and how the technology is really reaching kids.

If there’s comfort involved, it’s probably not for me.

We produce programs that honor God and impact our world.

My wife bought an extra life insurance policy on me.

It’s easy to be led astray when you’re so broken. People take advantage of you.

God continues to work miracles in my life.

I had never really pictured myself working in children’s ministries. I always figured I would be more comfortable with maybe teens or adult ministries.

I realized there was very little in Hollywood I would ever feel comfortable doing. If I kept one foot there and one foot in my Christianity, I would never grow.

I want kids to understand that strength doesn’t come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you, and that comes from Jesus Christ.

I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.

We’ve both been married before and our previous experiences made us fearful of commitment.

When you’re in that scene, you really wonder if this is all you’re ever going to be. You know how vile and filthy you are inside.

We’ve been called, and He has blessed.

Pray for your mate. Ask God to soften your heart and show you ways to be a better spouse.

God gives me the children’s ministry heart and patience. This is what He wants. It’s awesome. I don’t know where He’s gonna take it-but God is building this thing.

I remember thinking, That’s what I need – and that hope was in Jesus Christ.

I’m cleaning toilets for $30 a day, because I needed that $30, and people are pointing at me, saying, Look at the big movie star. Look where he is now. I just said, I’m where God put me.

This show has been a major revitalization of my family life and personal life. It gave my family an avenue to speak to me honestly.

There are things God does for me daily, and it throws me into brain lock, because I know in my heart I don’t deserve that kind of grace. I don’t deserve that break.

I suppose what’s unique about our presentation is the amount of Scripture that kids get.

This is an exact replica of my chest.

My pastor said, Just because you were a celebrity doesn’t mean you’re supposed to be a celebrity now.

I don’t think you need to go looking for the enemy. He’s going to look for you.

This is not what I would have chosen. But I have a heart to be obedient.
