I was immediately standing next to Jesus and in His presence.” - Ed Loughran “When I died, I only remember my encounter in heaven, but the testimony from my kids about my wife that she was going after it in prayer. She was taking on the enemy and the spirit of death. She was ferocious.” - Ed Loughran “A type of confidence and boldness comes with the gift of Faith.” - Ken Fish. “I would instead be embarrassed for a little while, and God release the gift session.” - Ed Loughran “If you go after the kingdom of God, there are ways in which God brings humility.” - Ed Loughran “I don't want the church domesticated.” - Ed Loughran “What would happen if the church didn't want to live for the esteem and approval of men?” - Ed Loughran “Sometimes, faith is a little bit brash, a bit gutsy, and bold. We're talking about a level of assertive faith.” - Ken Fish “We often settle for lesser things because we are unwilling to take significant risks.” - Ed Loughran “I would instead look foolish and see the power of God come.” - Ed Loughran “It was just me and Jesus. The colors were almost alive. The colors had flavor and feel.” - Ed Loughran “Language is symbolic logic.” - Ken Fish “We need to be less impressed with how wide the church can go and more focused on how many generations we can impact.” - Ed Loughran “I want to do those things that would make the world poorer if I didn't do them.” - Ed Loughran “Jesus is worth dying for.” - Ed Loughran “Courage is costly.” - Ed Loughran
