📢 "Perhaps the Lord will give us a way. Sometimes all you have is a 'maybe'—and that’s enough." – Courage Molina ([10:56])
📢 "I wasn’t trying to be a better Christian. I was trying to get a PhD in Jesus." – Courage Molina ([16:52])
📢 "Unless you are face-to-face with Jesus in the flesh, you’re not going to know everything. So take what you can, grow where you can, and trust God for the rest." – Courage Molina ([25:44])
