It's pretty hard to get a whole group of people moving together as individuals who are stepping into a more mystical, faith-oriented, dynamic kind of experience with Christ.

That's what was really the core of The Barbarian Way.”

“To pay attention to the actual core of the movement - that would be pretty hard.
