Interview Quotes:

“I’m not a scientist, but I've always been on the fringe of science. If you look at creation, how do you not come to the conclusion there’s a God?” - Kurt Avery

“You have to have the establishment that God is out there and He’s bigger than us—way bigger than us.” - Kurt Avery 

“Always let your God be as big as He is. If you make God small, you’ll do small things. If you let God be big, you’ll do big things, because it’s not you, it’s Him. He just gave you the gifts. Let Him show you how to use them in a much bigger way.” - Kurt Avery 

“I truly believe that God loves to work in a process. I believe in the miraculous instant moments, but more often than not, He chooses to walk us through a beautiful process and reveal more of Himself to us as we walk into healing.” - Britney Higgs

“One of the main things that helps me ground and stay focused on what’s important is really that daily time with Jesus when I wake up in the morning. No matter what we face today, no matter what these survivors face, we know that it is nothing compared to the glory that You are about to reveal to us.” - Britney Higgs
