The church itself, the people are going to be growing and it turns into something that only God knows what it can be, but also that God has a vested interest in and he says that the gates of hell cannot prevail against it."

Viral Topic - The Hidden Lives of Aquarium Predators: "I published scientific research on shark behavior, studying how they behaved in the aquarium environment as new animals came in, what they did when divers were in the water and learning a little bit more about how they behave, because we can do that in an aquarium, and we can't do that out in the ocean as easily."
β Sherri Seligson [00:09:34 β 00:09:49]Unique Aquarium Design: "One unique thing about the living seas, that if you ever go there at Epcot, you'll see it's a circular shaped aquarium, and one fourth of the aquarium has these large bars separating the other three fourths of the aquarium, like a pie, a wedge of a piece. And the dolphins get to swim in that area, and the sharks are in the big area."
β Sherri Seligson [00:10:49 β 00:11:07]"Science and Faith": "Science, by definition, never proves anything. We can't prove anything in science. We can only come up with certain evidences of things, and then we make suggestions based on our faith."

β Sophie Hudson [00:15:23 β 00:15:28]**Commitment to Sight in Leadership**: "And then I think that the big thing that unfolded for me over the course of this book is just this whole idea of our sight. The word see is all over the book of Exodus. It bookends Moses life from the very beginning. His mother could see he was a fine baby. And then when Moses dies, scripture tells us that his sight was unhindered and that we have to be people who are committed to as leaders, always checking our site... That's more of just a continual check in with the Lord, with scripture, with the Holy Spirit. Like, hey, I have anything going on here that ultimately is going to interfere with my ability to lead in a way that's healthy and that cause people to hire and better."

"Parent-Friendly Kids' Music": "It'd be so good to have music that was hopeful and spoken message that kids could learn the words off to and that the parents, you weren't pulling your hair out while listening to it."
β Ali Gilkeson [00:04:45 β 00:04:55]**The Song That Touched Generations**: "We started getting these emails of skills and summer camps and prisons, and it really connected with a whole wide scope of people. I think that was what was so amazing about it was like you had three year olds doing the actions, and then you had, you know, 80 year olds, you know, listening to it, and then everybody in between."
β Ali Gilkeson [00:09:57 β 00:10:18]Trust in God: "Sometimes if anybody was going to show up to a show, we just had no idea. And, you know, I feel like our lives have been built on trust a lot, and having to be where they always say, trust the process. Trust the process. Or for us, it was like, just trust in Jesus. Like, trust in God. Like, what he says is true."
β Ali Gilkeson [00:13:36 β 00:13:52]Unique Instruments in Worship: "So probably the most unique instrument that we've used is thing called the Jingling Johnny, which my husband plays."
β Ali Gilkeson [00:16:58 β 00:17:04]**Bridging the Gap Through Music**: "When you hear our music, you'll hear the words in the message, but there's an invitation to it. That anyone can almost listen to it and get a hold of and be. Be captured by it a little bit, you know?"
β Ali Gilkeson [00:18:38 β 00:18:49]Balancing Parenthood and Careers: "We didn't want to stop our lives to have kids. We just wanted to bring our kids into our lives and be like, hey, this is. This is our ministry."
β Ali Gilkeson [00:20:35 β 00:20:41]The Greatest Gift to Your Child: "I honestly believe one of the greatest gifts you can give your child is for them to witness you living your life and not stopping your life. And so our kids have seen that."

The Dangers of Technology: "It didn't feel like putting a hundred million people with 100 million choices inside the pockets of amazing, curious, but sometimes impulsive young people was a great idea."
β Chris McKenna [00:04:55 β 00:05:04]"The Hidden Cost of the Internet": "I want every human listening to this, whether you're 4 or 104, to understand that almost everything that we use that's connected to the Internet wasn't designed with human flourishing in mind. Why? ... for kids listening to this, understand that everything you use connected to the Internet wants to make money. That's just the reality of it."
β Chris McKenna [00:11:33 β 00:11:54]The Power of Relationships in Gaming and Social Media: "They know that you'll stay in the game longer because they know, just like God does, that relationships matter."

β Chris McKenna [00:20:34 β 00:20:48]The Importance of Knowing Other Parents: "I just think that's more necessary today that we need to know the parents of the kids that our kids are hanging out with so we can have these conversations, establish a relationship with them."

Before you show me, tell me, what is it that you're trying to show me and make them tell you what it is that they're trying to show you."
