Key Quotes
- 9:45 - "God has Fathered me, and that's a term that I throw out quite frequently... Just the worldview change, that God's actually Fathering us and initiating us in the uninitiated places."
- 18:32 - "Truth be told, my journey, as a son, from God's perspective, has been since before the foundations of the earth... even before He knit me together in my mother's womb. He's always had a plan. He's always had, in His heart, throughout the course of history, to create me, to create you, to create every one of you who's listening to this, to be the object of His affection, to be the object of His love, and to bring us into maturity. That's always been His goal."
