Bob Goff Quotes
One thing I do is (and I realize this might sound nuts), every month or so, I try to take like an Etch-a-sketch so to speak, and I clear my faith. I go to zero, clear the deck. And I start adding things back to my faith, one at a time. What would be the first thing I'd add back? Jesus. It sounds a little bit like a Sunday school answer, but that's what I do. Then what's the next thing? And I'd say, well, loving people. And then the next.
