“Leaders take people to places they don’t want to go on their own, but places where they need to go.”
― April Diaz, Redefining the Role of the Youth Worker: A Manifesto of Integration

“Leaders must regularly reassess what’s working as a result of the changes, what’s not working, what still needs attention, and how people are responding to the changes. The vision doesn’t end with implementation; it ends with saturation and acceptance.”
― April Diaz, Redefining the Role of the Youth Worker: A Manifesto of Integration

“Leaders must continually refill people’s “vision buckets” because life will poke holes in the bottoms of those buckets, allowing the vision you’ve so carefully communicated to slowly drain away”
― April Diaz, Redefining the Role of the Youth Worker: A Manifesto of Integration

“I tell the girls in our student ministry, “You don’t really want sex. What you want is intimacy. You want to meet a guy, fall in love, and know you can trust him completely. You want somebody with whom you can share everything there is to know about you without fear of betrayal or rejection. You want to be fully known and to know him fully. Purity now paves the way to intimacy later.”
