Quotes:

“I try to integrate and circulate each day.” (Connor, 1:47)

“It’s an aspirational thing, to be able to look back at life and realize, ‘God is the author of that story.”’ (Rob, 16:35)

“It’s something really beautiful because he’s allowing himself to be pierced by reality.” (Connor, 20:55)

“John Paull II, the way that he entered into eternal life, it was a real example of how to die well… He kept coming out and being a father and loving on people until the day he died. That’s how you do that.” (Mike, 25:10)

“I am both the one choosing, but I’m also being chosen… God’s choice of me is the one truth that can always be relied on.” (Connor, 31:10)
