Key Quotes
“I see in me many times where I’ve had to be broken to really…understand how much I need Him.”
Gary Ringger
“I used to not like being broken – and I still don’t really like it – but that is the way God pursues many of us…And then that relationship gets rich.”
Gary Ringger
“It is not just the situations themselves that are transformative, but how we choose respond to them…and the habits we develop along the way.”
