| 0:04.0 | No one is more beautiful, no one is more valuable, no one is more valuable, |
| 0:13.0 | is more significant or weighty, |
| 0:17.0 | no one is more satisfying than God. And when the beauty and the value and the weight and the satisfying nature of God radiates out for our perception and our discernment, we call it the glory of God. |

| 1:03.2 | When I was in seminary, I had a kind of Copernican revolution |
| 1:10.4 | theologically from a very I think man exulting man-centered vision of the world |
