      • Quotes from the episode: 

      • “One of the things that makes Christianity different from other religions at the time was this reading and listening to the Word of God and the knowing of their own story.”
      • “I don’t have the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit has ME.” 
      • “The Bible isn’t a rule book, and reading it isn’t a rule that I HAVE to follow. I can just live from that space of knowing the word is IN ME.”
      • “What I wish I knew at 14, 15, 16 years old is that it’s not about being GOOD ENOUGH for God to use you or love you or see you… it’s that God IS good enough to love you and choose you and see you. That’s the Gospel.”
      • “The Bible isn’t a weapon that tells people what they’re doing wrong, it’s about the story of a group of people that keep being pursued by God.”
      • “This is a cross-cultural experience you are stepping into whenever you engage in scripture.”
      • “The Bible would be a horrible rule book because it takes literally like 70 chapters before you get to a single rule.”
