"I always believed in God and Christ, but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn"

Scott Stapp's quote speaks to the trouble of reconciling one's own life with the expectations of a higher power. He acknowledges that he constantly believed in God and Christ, however remained in rebellion, trying to make his relationship with God fit into his life rather of the other method around. This recommends that he was attempting to make his own life and decisions fit into his faith, instead of allowing his faith to shape his life. His use of the word "persistent" indicates that he was resistant to change and unwilling to accept the concept that his life need to be directed by his faith. This quote talks to the difficulty of living a life of faith, and the struggle to make choices that remain in line with one's beliefs.
