Here are two quotes from each speaker in the podcast:
Marelie Van Staden:
1. “You still your mind. You train your mind to be in the background and your spirit to be in the foreground, and the connection is from your spirit to the Trinity, Father, Son, Holy Spirit.”
2. “I was looking for that deeper connection, and I think I found that deeper connection in meditation, even though I mixed with Buddhist people who taught me how to meditate.”
Claryssa J. Medina:
1. “I moved into what I consider to be the kingdom stream, part of rethinking, the renovation of theology. And that’s where I reside now.”
2. “The leadership model, the church system, people come into the church and obviously people with talent and giftings in many different ways, but the church can’t see that that can be used outside of the four walls of the church.”
Gil Hodges:
“It’s a broken system. The Christian system, the body, okay, so let’s make a distinction between the body of Christ being an organization that is alive and well and functioning like a body versus an institution. Which is what it becomes when it’s no longer alive and well, it’s more of just, uh, propped up, um, institution, uh, system that is, you know, trying to fill the gap of what it was meant to do, and unfortunately, it, it lost its way in that it was supposed to represent the new love of God.”
