Quotes from John:

“Why am I so driven in the secular world and do I need to be that driven in my Christian faith?” 

“When we’re living in the flow of the Holy Spirit in the job, no matter what happens, God’s gonna lead us to the right person, the right conversation, even the right things to say.” 

“When we’re agitated and we’re taking it out on someone else, we actually feel terrible too. But when we have empathy for someone else, a lot of times it builds a much stronger relationship at work.” 

“The healthiest teams, the best functioning teams out there are ones where everyone is doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing - their main skill set, their passion.”
