Noteworthy quotes:

“The moments where we sense our lack of control are the very moments that God is inviting us to know His comforting presence.” - 7:05

“Behavior and beliefs are merely the surface of the soul and there is a deeper place that God wants us to go where we will be most shaped into our truest selves-- hidden with Christ in God-- and that requires a cultivation of space for authentic, vulnerable relationship.” - 10:35
