Great quotes from Evan:
Let’s figure out how to create your life to the full and what does that look like being authentic to your life and faith?
Life is really about, I believe, living your dreams and serving other people. Greatness is doing them both at the same time.
I don’t think you can commit to a marriage and not commit to Christ.
What would it look like if you put as much energy into romancing your wife as you do into fantasy football?
