I suppose what’s unique about our presentation is the amount of Scripture that kids get.

I never dreamed I would want to be or become a financial advisor.

When you go through a traumatic event, there’s a lot of shame that comes with that. A lot of loss of self-esteem. That can become debilitating.

Hollywood has always been good to me. I’ve never blamed Hollywood for my problems.

I got married at a very young age, and of course, for all the wrong reasons, and ended up divorced and lost everything. It was a very difficult time in my life.

This show has been a major revitalization of my family life and personal life. It gave my family an avenue to speak to me honestly.

I’ve always been pretty tough in that way, where if you tell me I can’t do something, I will prove you wrong.

I never learned to study in studio school, so I had to teach myself to study.

I never thought of myself as handsome.

I always felt as though, ‘If nothing else, I have a successful marriage.’

I think people who are artists, actors, singers, great songwriters, they tend to have a hyper state of emotion where they feel things very, very deeply, probably more deeply than the average person walking down the street where it may affect them, but not to the same extent.

We’re seeing how the videos translate to the live shows and how the technology is really reaching kids.

My wife bought an extra life insurance policy on me.

The Jews know who they are as a people. The Christians have not come together as a people yet.

God continues to work miracles in my life.

I have a strong work ethic.

Being a teen idol or being a heartthrob on all the magazines, with Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, and Scott Baio – it was embarrassing! I never understood it. I mean, why me? I never really got it.

We’ve been called, and He has blessed.

They did interviews with my wife and daughter-they were genuinely in fear of me having a heart attack, working 20 hours a day, eating fast food.

I spent six years in Bible study because I needed to get grounded. People really need to spend time in the Bible getting to know the God they claim to love.

It’s easy to be led astray when you’re so broken. People take advantage of you.

I think as Christians we have to sponsor a national Lighten-Up Day.

There’s a tendency for people to think that celebrities do whatever they want, spend whatever they want, and it’s completely out of control. While some of that may be true, I’ve never met a celebrity who threw caution to the wind and thought they could do anything. That’s not the thought process.

We’ve both been married before and our previous experiences made us fearful of commitment.

I never thought I was particularly talented, and to be honest with you, I still don’t.

It’s good that kids know the Scripture. It’s best that they know the Scripture and get the concept. All I can say is, it’s working.

There are things God does for me daily, and it throws me into brain lock, because I know in my heart I don’t deserve that kind of grace. I don’t deserve that break.

I think that in the Christian community, we’re lacking a lot of things, and I don’t know that it’s just children’s role models.

Pray for your mate. Ask God to soften your heart and show you ways to be a better spouse.

When I was growing up, I didn’t know there was a world outside of California.

If there’s comfort involved, it’s probably not for me.

The girl I was dating heard this preacher on the radio, and she thought his message was something I should hear. I thought, Great, a preacher. Just what I need.

When you’re in that scene, you really wonder if this is all you’re ever going to be. You know how vile and filthy you are inside.

I think there are people that have very addictive personalities.

I don’t think you need to go looking for the enemy. He’s going to look for you.

When you’re a celebrity, people think they know you, but they don’t have a clue.

No matter how I might feel about myself or my self-image, there is still a part of me that wants to fight to the end.

My pastor said, Just because you were a celebrity doesn’t mean you’re supposed to be a celebrity now.

When you’re 19 years old, you make $1 million a year, you’ve dated all the coolest people on earth, you’ve hung out with the coolest people on earth.

I want kids to understand that strength doesn’t come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you, and that comes from Jesus Christ.

I wanted to leave ‘Eight Is Enough’ for the Navy.

Nobody makes me laugh like my wife.

I realized there was very little in Hollywood I would ever feel comfortable doing. If I kept one foot there and one foot in my Christianity, I would never grow.

I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.

I get scared to death when I see people who say they’ve found Jesus Christ, and they’re out there, and I wonder, who’s teaching them? Who’s mentoring them?

I had older brothers and sisters who were high achievers, and I felt different, misunderstood by my family. That’s not my family’s fault; it was my perception.

Since I was 9, I’d been told what to say, what to think.

I didn’t become an actor because I wanted to act. Actually, I wanted to become a marine biologist. But most of all, I wanted to be accepted.

I didn’t want to be the typical teen idol. I didn’t want to be Leif Garrett. I didn’t want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing.

God gives me the children’s ministry heart and patience. This is what He wants. It’s awesome. I don’t know where He’s gonna take it – but God is building this thing.
