This is what I was getting at: we have transformative experiences, right? We confess the Lord, we're touched, we even weep before God, in gratitude, and shame. But, how does this percolate through our living, and more importantly, how does this percolate through others' living? Does our experience transfer to others? And if so, how? A question worth asking.
Jesus was intimately connected to the Father, and through Him, the disciples got home as well. And through the disciples many others touched Jesus. And so forth. We're part of the chain of experience. Does it stop with me? Or does it keep going? I (hopefully) got transformed by my experiences - who else got transformed? No one? Then I doubt my experiences.
And to answer the question of the speaker in the video, Yes, I do have issues with church leadership. But that doesn't mean going to a different church. It means not subsidizing the feckless stupidity of my church leaders.
