Sound Bites from Matthan

• "Don't try to capture something or don't try to set up artificially what's happening. But instead capture the Holy Spirit."
• "Put ourselves in the audience viewer perspective and receive it how we would want to receive."
• "The market in a way is not saturated in a way where there's true competition. We're all fighting for souls and fighting together in a way."
