Between the 17 and 23 min mark, Louie talks about how he feels about online church vs in-person church, and does a great job of expressing it. What I appreciated also, though, was Cary's respectful response. My experience listening to Cary is that he disagrees strongly with Louie about the importance of online church, yet he didn't push back at all, despite this being his podcast. He allowed Louie to have - and espouse - a completely different view, and I appreciated that. To be clear, Cary agrees whole-heartedly with Louie's view on in-person church. He just has a different perspective on on-line church.
