It's pretty hard to get a whole group of people moving together as individuals who are stepping into a more mystical, faith-oriented, dynamic kind of experience with Christ.

That's what was really the core of The Barbarian Way.

True religion always moves us to serve others and to give our lives to see those oppressed find freedom.
