Key Quotes (Full Transcript of the Conversation Here)

• 6:36 - "It's something that Amy and I have been intentional wanting to continue to lean in with the kids and just take full advantage of their imaginations. And so we've done it with both. And we said, we believe that Jesus has a specific place where you two can meet, in your imagination, that you can go any time you're scared. So if you have a scary thought, we're not there or or when we're there, you can ask Jesus to come and go to that place. So, I want you to ask Jesus for a picture, a beautiful place, something that is fun and imaginative, some place you'd like to go."
• 20:44 - "For modern men, there's few opportunities for us to actually get into a place where we are fully dependent on God. And we need Him to sustain us. We need Him to pull us through, and those are all the highlights of my faith journey of being with Him, when I'm on the edge."
