Sample Book Insights:
#1 The year is 1979, and I announce that I have in my possession an electronic device that can communicate with another person on the other side of the world. I call it a cell phone! you would probably think I was crazy.
#2 The steps of a good man or woman are directed by the Lord. I’ve missed some steps, but I’ve also learned a lot in the process. I wholeheartedly believe that life is more about progression than perfection, so let’s be H. O. T. with each other and learn more about God’s great plan for us as we walk by faith.
#3 We all have beliefs, standards, philosophies, and habits, and these are all based on some sort of foundation. We need to establish some things on a ground level before we can build anything else.
#4 A foundation is essential to hold a structure in place, but it does so much more than that. It is strong, deep, and dense enough to last the lifetime of the building sitting on top of it.

#1

The year is 1979, and I announce that I have in my possession an electronic device that can communicate with another person on the other side of the world. I call it a cell phone! you would probably think I was crazy.

#2

The steps of a good man or woman are directed by the Lord. I’ve missed some steps, but I’ve also learned a lot in the process. I wholeheartedly believe that life is more about progression than perfection, so let’s be H. O. T. with each other and learn more about God’s great plan for us as we walk by faith.

#3

We all have beliefs, standards, philosophies, and habits, and these are all based on some sort of foundation. We need to establish some things on a ground level before we can build anything else.

#4

A foundation is essential to hold a structure in place, but it does so much more than that. It is strong, deep, and dense enough to last the lifetime of the building sitting on top of it.

#5

The Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest free-standing structure. It was built in Dubai and cost an estimated $1. 5 billion. More than 110,000 tons of concrete were used to construct the foundation, which is buried 164 feet below ground level.

#6

The foundation of your faith is important, and it determines the type of structure that can be built on it. You can’t build a skyscraper-sized vision on fixer-upper faith, but you can still grow your faith.

#7

Faith is the belief in something you cannot explicitly prove. It is a challenge to have faith in things that happen in this world, because it is always being tested and proven wrong.

#8

Crazy faith is having thoughts and actions that lack reason but trust fully in what you cannot explicitly prove. It is similar to the song Crazy by Gnarls Barkley, which was made popular in 2006. The line that always gets me thinking about the heroes we discuss in church is thinkin’ I wanna be like them.

#9

The Bible is full of stories that challenge us to live out our faith. Maybe it seems crazy to save yourself in purity right now because the world tells you to just go out and do whatever you want with whomever you want.

#10

Your Crazy Faith is what God wants to use to make a miracle happen. He’s not looking for someone to provide Him with all the reasons why it can’t happen. He’s looking for someone to believe that if He says it, it will happen.

#11

The north side of Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Gary and Debbie planted a church, has historically been inhabited mostly by African American families. In 1921, a race massacre took place in a prominent upper-class district of North Tulsa called Greenwood, where many distinguished Black people lived and owned businesses.

#12

I would not be writing this book and pursuing the purpose of God if it weren’t for the Crazy Faith of my parents, Brenda and Tommy Todd. They left the comfort of what they knew and moved to a town where they knew only one other person. They began a journey of faith that produced so much life and freedom in others.

#13

God needs willing vessels. He is ready to fire some spiritual weapons of mass destruction at the devil’s territory, but He needs some all-in believers who will trust Him and step out in Crazy Faith.

#14

The Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a self-contained hub that flourished in the early 1900s.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Baby steps are necessary to reach a big goal, but most people who want to be great don’t want to take them. They want Moses-type results, but they don’t want to go back to Egypt and face their pasts.

#2

Baby faith is the first step toward growing your faith. It may look like opening a bank account that you label Generosity Fund and depositing five dollars in it.
