Quotables

• (13:27) “A fan doesn't have skin in the game. There isn't a real impact on whether or not they continue being a quote fan of Jesus versus… you know, followers. They've got skin in the game… you know, you look at the disciples. They dropped their nets. They left everything. They left their old way of living to enter into a new one. And that radically changes their perspective on what it means to follow Jesus.”

 

• (28:32) “It begins with this relationship with him. And what emanates out of that relationship is the service that we do, you know, loving God and loving others, you know, and how that manifests itself using our gifts.”
