0:00.0	not to be too preachy about it, but I think sometimes people actually do have to leave, quote, Jerusalem in order to get to Jesus.
0:07.4	I mean, I functionally pastor a church, and yet as much as I have, I do believe in that there's a place for form,
0:15.1	and I'm not against institutional structure and system.
