Key Quotes (Full Transcript of Conversation Here)

  • 23:22 - "There's a joy and there's a freedom in becoming a more generous person, generous living, including generous giving. Because as we embark in that direction, as we ascend toward what he calls us to be and in how he calls us to serve, he descends to meet us. And so it's a mutual journey toward intimacy that gets better and better."
  • 33:47 - "So to allow the Prince of peace to invade our lives and make us better husbands and fathers is something that can be a tough experience, but it's also something that just makes us much better people."
